If you've ever wondered what the ship manifest looked like for the boat your ancestors came over on, you can look it up now. Ellis Island has digitized all of the records. You can search by many criteria and find your family (as long as they arrived here between 1892 and 1924, like some of mine). It's very cool. http://www.ellisislandrecords.com/default.asp bob -- bob davis bobd at members.evolt.org
