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.
