Book excerpt: Research techniques specific to the reader's own ancestors' national and ethnic backgrounds enable them to learn where and how to find information they need. Ethnic research techniques and ethnic resources make this book unique from any we've ever published. Ethnic research techniques lead researchers to records based on customs or migration patterns of specific ethnic groups. Ethnic resources are organized around national and cultural backgrounds rather than geography and social statuses such as married, divorced, sued, and so on. Clear, authoritative instruction typifies both the content of this book and the reputation of its author, Sharon DeBartolo Carmack.

Embark on the journey of finding your Ellis Island ancestors Nearly 20 million immigrants arrived through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1924 - roughly 40 percent of Americans descend from these "huddled masses yearning to breathe free." Since the Ellis Island website launched in April 2001, there have been more than 60,000 users visiting it every day, trying to find their ancestors. For some researchers, locating their immigrant ancestors in Ellis Island's massive database of passenger arrival lists is a snap. For others, the "Island of Hope, Island of Tears" takes on a new meaning. You know your ancestors are in that giant computer file somewhere, but where? The Family Tree Guide to Finding Your Ellis Island Ancestors is here to help. In this comprehensive guide, you'll discover: the basic information you need to begin your search. tips and strategies for successfully finding your Ellis Island ancestors online. how passenger lists were created and what information they contain. how to use microfilmed passenger lists and indexes. what to do if you're still coming up empty-handed. Journey with your ancestors as you learn what it was like for them to travel across the ocean by steamship, how they processed through Ellis Island, and where to find information and photographs of your ancestor's ship. And for those who had ancestors who arrived right before the Ellis Island years, a special chapter is devoted to Castle Garden and its arrivals. It's the only guide you'll need for finding your Ellis Island ancestors.

Book excerpt: Trace your immigrant ancestors using the vast collection of US records so that you have the essential information needed to locate records in Europe. The author's goal is to inspire others who have little to no idea of how or where to begin this adventure. Join the author as she details her strategies that located living descendants of her ancestors and her efforts to contact them. This book also includes instructions on how to plan a genealogy or family history trip to meet these Europeans cousins. The author started out four years ago knowing almost nothing about her grandparents' families. After uncovering thousands of records and photos, she went to Europe twice on "trips of a lifetime" to meet three welcoming and enthusiastic sets of families in Sweden and Poland.
