I found a photo of the ship that brought my Grandfather to the U.S.

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Got some info at ellisisland.org. Found a photocopy of the ship manifest, and his original old world name, and included info on his age (4), who paid his steerage, who picked him up, etc. I used the info to find a photo of the same ship he sailed elsewhere on line. I blew the photo up and you can see the immigrants on the decks.

I love the Internet.

That is absolutely wonderful Dixon. Merry Christmas to you.

That's nice, really it is.

Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow. Dixon that's an excellent present idea!!!

My Grans mother came in at Ellis Island, I'll bet she'd love it if I could find a picture of the ship and frame it for her.

I wonder if I could find a picture of the donkey my great grandparents came over on. Not only transportation, but a lovely meal while they waited to cross the river.

LOL

I doubt they took a picture of it before they feasted on it.

I found some of your kin at neanderland.com along with the town register. A few of the pictures showed different families in front of their caves.

I love the net.

I'm going to check that out, see if I can find some of my Irish relatives that came over in the late 1800's. Thanks Dixon!

Thats very cool, as nostalgia always is. I enjoy learning about my heritage, and all the stories along the way.

I like seeing old photos depicting historical moments...
