Morse Topic: "One-Step Web-pages: A Hodgepodge of Lesser-Known Gems" Stephen P. Morse, the computer genius who has attracted attention worldwide with his One-Step method for searching the Ellis Island Database and the 1930 United States census will make a rare appearance in south Florida as guest speaker at our February meeting. Shortly after the Ellis Island Foundation website opened, Morse devised an alternate way to extract the EIDB information and has been hailed as the guru of Ellis Island information. Since then, Morse has gone on to develop other major search pages. A complete listing of his One Step Web-Pages and information on how to use them can be found at http://stevemorse.org. Morse, who resides in California, is a computer professional who is best known as one of the architects of the Intel 8086 microprocessor (grandfather of today's Pentium processor) which sparked the PC revolution 20 years ago. He has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. The researching of his Russian-Jewish origins for the past several years has led him to develop remarkable programs that have been beneficial to all genealogists searching similar areas.
