 To all researchers,I've noticed that the new Ellis Island Passenger ship database continues to receive a very large number of users, and this is resulting in an annoying LONG period of time in order to log on and get the initial search page up. Then once you get the search page up, it seems that you could just as easy end up with a disconnect once you enter the name of your ancestor for whom you want to obtain the record.I have found an interesting method that has worked for me several times now, so let me post this approach for others to try and see if it will work for you as well. Once you log in and send a name for the search, the site will execute a "GET" command and send a search request that will display in your URL "Location" field and looks like the following..... http://www.ellisislandrecords.com/searc ... =1 I happened to print out my first page that contained the above requested record and later found that if I copied that line and pasted it into my URL Location field and changed the "Bridget" "Daly" to any other name that I wanted to search, the Ellis Island site would process the request directly without me having to go through the normal logon screen. So far, it has sent back every request that I have submitted using this approach.You should be able to highlight the above line in this message and paste it into your URL Location field of your browser. Change the name entry from my Bridget Daly to your ancestor's name and see how it works for you.You will be requested to log in on your first record retrival, so if you already have a registered login, use it at that time, if you have not yet registered, you will have to do so when you call up any individual record displays. Good luck, and please post back here to let me know if this works for anyone else.Ed Finn
