Not working for me..unsure of anybodies correct spelling or when they came over.
I had four grandparents all come over from eastern europe, and the spellings are difficult,russian and polish names are tricky, and dates..fuhget about it.

Kudos anyway..still an interesting site. I forwarded It to my mom and sis..they will figure it out

Some names were changed during the landing at the island.

The name listings might reflect the "American-zed" versions.

Cool site but for the life of me I can't remember any family names unless I go visit a cousin who has traced our family back to the early 1500s in jolly old England!

I don't know my great-grandparent's first names, so there's really no hope for me. I'm not close with my family...and the only thing I know is that my Dad's side is from Germany/Sussix/Wells area, and my Mom's side is from the Sweedish area...

My dad actually has a "family tree" book that traces our family all the way back to the late-1600's-early-1700's. Names, locations, old documents, pictures...everything. I really need to read through it one day...
