Crossing
the Pond—Part II
|
This
webinar will discuss reading, interpreting, and using passenger lists between
1820 and 1920. This session will not discuss search techniques of online

manifest says.
Attendees

Ancestry.com ($8.50) webinar which discusses searching these lists or
our Crossing the Pond
($8.50) webinar which focuses the methodology of tracing immigrant origins in

understand the difference between three databases with similar titles that
cover “the same thing?” We will look at several examples during this
presentation and provide a general framework for determining (when you can)
what a database really is.
