On P.3 of the March issue please change the first line of the Charlotte Kunold note on information received from a gentleman in Ohio...his name is NOT Everett Washington, it is EVERETT RAWLINGs. I don't know where my brain had gone. Sorry.

Now you don't have to travel to New York to research your roots at Ellis Island. The American Family Immigration History Center's Web Site, http://www.ellisisland.org (validated 09/26/2004), allows you to search for stories about passengers who entered America via Ellis Island and the Port of New York. Free registration is required for the most basic searches, such as looking up names to find out when a person arrived and what ship he or she traveled on. For $45 a year, you can gain full access to the site and become a sustaining member of the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation. You then can annotate passenger records in the archives, create and maintain a family history scrapbook, and order a free print or CD-ROM copy of your initial scrapbook. Be warned the massive interest in the site may make it hard to gain access so be patient.
