I continue to enjoy your posts! Quick...Hey Randy - <br />I continue to enjoy your posts! Quick note on this...I've had the chance to work with this offering for much of the last year while it was under development and am so excited that I can finally talk about it. This was (is) a HUGE undertaking by <A HREF="http://www.findmypast.com">FindMyPast</A> working with <B>TNA</B>. The scans are, by far, the best I've seen for any record type on the web!! Although the initial site has just the 1890-1899 decade, others will follow throughout 2007 and by years end the entire 1890-1960 will be online. <B>Important Note:</B> Don't dismiss this collection thinking that it's just for those with British roots. ANY ship that originated from or passed through a U.K. port was required to file departure lists, so you may well find plenty of other ethnic groups here.<br /><br />Also - if you have found a U.S. or Canadian arrival from a U.K. port, you really should find the corresponding departure record. I've seen some great examples of lists that had different information and will try to post a few online somewhere to show the importance of having BOTH the departure and arrival record for your ancestors.<br /><br />Happy Hunting - - <br /><A HREF="http://www.danlynch.net">Dan Lynch</A><br />Trumbull CTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
