This website is linked to Ellis island and Ancestry.com website.

Ellis island, Located in New York, is immigration port where many Polish and other
Ethnicity came though.

Steve Morse created Search engines linked to this. you can search first and last
name and or town name in which ancestor came from.

you can do three letter search also for last name . In case of mispelling. Many didnt
read or write Polish , so names have been mispelled .

also three letter searches for town name.
if anyone has any trouble with this. feel free to post

Another Resource

If you know the name of the ship your ancestor came to USA on, you can have
a picture of it, and a writeup.

I did some research on my own, but came up with
a brick wall until I went to the following site. I still could not find the ship there.
I e-mailed the owner of the website, and I had my information the next day plus a picture of the ship my grandmother came over on from Bremen, Germany to Ellis Island.

maritimequest.com

The years given for its operation were just 5, but it was enough information to start
pinpointing the time frame I needed.

Yes, Patry, I did as you suggested and it did work. Thanks. Put in Favorite Places
for future reference.

just let me know if you need any more help I will help with what i can as much
as I can

Also you might like this resource - it is a treasurehouse of info and pictures.
This is the only website that had a map with the town of Dreskopol on it.

Thank you Patry. I also like to share websites that have helped me.
One little clue that I find makes me very happy.

BTW how do you get the little smiley people to appear in the message?

When you reply, theres some dots next to the smilie up there already, click on that
it will bring up the box of smilies , once you click on them they go into your box
where you reply. did I repeat myself there?

The box of smilies gives me only and not the actual face.
I have tried everything to get it to appear. Don't know the trick yet. LOL

I am amazed at the many resources on the web re researching Polish ancestors.
My mother comes from Vermont, and there are no where near the resourses
availble to me regarding her English/French parentage, that there are when researching my father's side which are in Polish Galicia.
