Hello everyone, This morning I was asked a question about records of emigrants as they come to the US. While answering that person, I realized that this was information that many of the other members of the ROOTWALKER family could use. There is a great site on the Internet that will tell you a lot about those emigrant records that were kept since the early 1800s. If you are interested, go to the following web site: <A HREF="http://www.governmentguide.com/officials_and_agencies/agencies/u.s./govs ite.adp?bread=*Main*officials_and_agencies.adp?id=16101798*Officials%20and%20A gencies*agencies.adp?id=16101799*Agencies*u.s..adp?id=16101800*U.S.*&url=http% 3A//www.ins.gov/&CID=16101830">Government Guide: http://www.ins.gov/</A> http://www.governmentguide.com/officials_and_agencies/agencies/u.s./govsite.ad p?bread=*Main*officials_and_agencies.adp?id=16101798*Officials%20and%20Agencie s*agencies.adp?id=16101799*Agencies*u.s..adp?id=16101800*U.S.*&url=http%3A//ww w.ins.gov/&CID=16101830 When you get to the main page, click on the left side of the page on "About INS and FOIA." Then when you get to the next page, click on "History, Genealogy and Education." I think you will find this site has some really good and useful information for your use and enjoyment. Thanks to all of you for being the ROOTWALKER family. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen ROOTWALKER site/list coordinator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
