Hella: I think you have to keep an eye on this list and see if anyone mentions they will be making a trip to DC and are going to the Library of Congress, Martin Luther King Library, NARA, DAR, etc. and then jump in and ask if someone will do a lookup for you. I've seen people volunteer on this and other lists when they are doing research to do some lookups for others. We used to have quite a few people who at least lived in the Metro DC area on the list and I don't know how many there are now who either live in the area or in DC itself. RAOGK has no one listed in DC, MD or VA who routinely will go to Library of Congress but I know people do go there occasionally and you just have to keep looking for a mention. Maybe your information could be found somewhere else too. What specifically are you looking for? Curious to know how many people on the list: Live in DC Live in Metro DC Have ever lived in DC or Metro DC Go into DC to do research Kathi Jones-Hudson, National Coordinator Tombstone Transcription Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/index.html ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get your own web address.

Hello Kathi, hello All, You asked me what I am looking for: that was my first posting /Febr.21.In the meantime I have learned a lot about the area of DC and the Library of Congress.I was really happy to manage 'ask a Librian'and got informations about this newspaper, that it would be on microfilm and including shipnews: ( Arrivals = Entradas / Departures = Salidas).Maybe somebody could understand, who is interesting in things about 'Marine'.At the beginning of my research I only knew the date of birth and date of death and his profession: master. Now, a few years later, a complete reconstruction of 50 trips over the seven seas has come about. My english is not very fluently, sorry. I did not want to give any trouble to anybody,it was not my intention! Greetings from Bremen, Hella Hello Listers, that is my first posting to this list. I am working on reconstructing the time schedule of a german master ( he was my g-g-grandfather) on a sailing ship during the 19th Century. The 'Library of Congress' in Washington holds the cuban newspaper 'Diario de la Marina' on microfilm ( I asked already the librarian ). Maybe a very kind person has to study at this place and could do me such a big favour to have a lookup to this paper. I would be most grateful if somebody could help me finding the dates of 3 Arrivals / resp. 3 Departures of the ship at the Port of Havana. For a better understanding, may I give you the dates, what I am looking for. 'Diario de la Marina' (on microfilm ) Puerto de la Habana : Entradas (= Arrivals) Salidas (= Departures) Brig HENRIETTE, Master Kulke Havana, Nov. 30, 1844 arrived from Puerto Cabello. Havana, date of Departure? for Bremen. (Falmouth, Febr. 19, 1845 arrived from Havana.) Brig HENRIETTE, Master Greve Havana, July 18, 1846 arrived from New York. Havana, date of Departure ? for Matanzas. (Matanzas, Aug. 2, 1846 arrived from Havana.) Brig HENRIETTE, Master Pajeken Havana, July 23, 1847 arrived from Baltimore. Havana, Aug. 15, 1847 departed for Bremen. ( dates found at german newspapers ) This project means so much to me!
