So, here are ten MORE things that make me happy:
1) a genealogical new “find”
2) listening to my favorite music
3) reading
4) a cup of hot tea
5) being creative
6) being with someone I love
7) watching a good movie
8) a good meal
9) my family
10) traveling

Lisa and Sharon have decided to put my genealogical super-power to the test! I am currently working on their missing ancestors, so stay tuned…

His Naturalization papers filed in Chicago state he arrived in NY August 5, 1893, his Declaration papers give the same date, yet the Common Pleas Court in Luzurne, Pennsylvania where the DI was filed give an arrival date of March 26, 1893. The year is undoubtedly correct, but I have yet to find him coming into Ellis Island (or on any passenger lists for those dates–there don’t seem to be any ships arriving in NY on either of those dates). Can you find him?

I can vouch for your powerful passenger list prowess. You certainly have talents in that area.

If you ever find have some spare time, Super-Finder, I’d love your thoughts on my search for the passenger lists my
illusive great-grandfather Istvan/Stephen Toth (he traveled across the Atlantic at least twice roundtrip). His common name and the difficult handwriting on some of the passenger lists that I’ve found have made it hard to distinguish him from others sharing his name.

Any advice from you on narrowing my search would be much appreciated.

Lisa

Thank you for the link…although this is the first time I’ve ever been accused of being philosophical! Thanks again.
