Steve Morse has updated his One-Step form that searches ancestry.com's Boston
Passenger Arrivals database. The database now covers 1820-1943, whereas it previously included only 1891-1943. Steve generated a list of all of the M277 roll numbers and dates to allow access to the manifest directly by roll/frame or by date using the One-Step "Searching the Boston Passenger Lists in One Step." He also generated a list of all of the Boston ship arrivals in the 1820-1891 period for the One-Step form that searches for ship arrivals, "Searching for Ships in the Boston Microfilms in One Step." Both are listed under "Other Ports of Immigration" at http://www.stevemorse.org. Steve also just created a One-Step form for searching zabasearch.com. He now has four One-Step forms capable of obtaining birthday information. The other three are for ancestry.com, birthdatabase.com, and privateeye.com/peoplefinders.com. They are the first four items listed in the "Births, Deaths, and other Vital Records" section at (http://www.stevemorse.org). Steve also just implemented two new features on his One-Step search form "Converting Address to Latitude/Longitude." Retitled "Converting Address to/>from Latitude/Longitude in One Step, " you can now also convert in the opposite direction - >from latitude/longitude to an address. You can now also convert more than one address or more than one latitude/longitude at a time by using Batch Mode. The One-Step is listed under "Calendar, Sunrise/Sunset, Maps" at http://www.stevemorse.org. At first blush, this may not seem to have much to do with genealogy, but Steve has found that the latitude/longitude search tool gets a very large number of hits. Joy Rich Brooklyn, NY |
