I can trace my relatives in this Continent back 400 years. The Secords (ever heard the name Laura?) settled in the area, and Lauras brother David, helped carry Brocks body off the field after he was mortally wounded in the battle of Queenston Heights. Its a shame more people cant trace this sort of thing.The family tree is 5 pages wide. Laura Secord??? Good Lord...she only saved the country from that ungrateful rabble in the 13 colonies.http://www.histori.ca/minutes/minute.do?id=10118 http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg...r&GRid=7275749 |

Under the logical assumption that "folks with money are automatically going to be healthy", it was Lady Liberty's "tired, poor, hungry, huddled masses" that were quarantined on Ellis Island. The upper classes were briefly interviewed at the head of the gangway and then allowed directly into the US. That's 'cuz they said they were Democrats. Eisboch |

... If your ancestors came through Ellis Island you haven't looked up their arrival documents, ship, etc, you may find this site interesting. I found the documentation of my grandparents' arrival from Holland in 1914, and also documentation of another trip the family took in 1924. Interesting, and...they came by boat! http://www.ellisisland.org/search/pa...2390155845440& or http://tinyurl.com/25eh2p soc.genealogy, hypocrite. |

Well, I'm married to a DAR type. My Dad's family came to Salem around the same time. |
