happily gaining access to Ellis Island Data Base, this is a way of saving for later searching and sorting the recovered data.(once you are in !): 1 - Open Excel 2- There are different ways to highlight ("paint") the information in the Ellis Island Data Base, and copy it to Windows' clipboard and >from there to Excel. This is one: 3 - Go back to the Ellis Island results page 4- Left click at the space before the beginning of the data you wish to copy. A good place is before the E in Exact Matches (number of matches) before the first result. 5 - Apparently nothing will happen - don't worry . Go the space after the last information in the last results line, press Shift in the keyboard, keep it pressed. 6 - Left click after the last information in the last data line. The selected data area will be highlighted. 7 - Let go the Shift key, and Right click anywhere in the highlighted area. Left or Right Click on Copy. The data will be copied to Windows' clipboard 8 - Go to the Excel spreadsheet. Place yourself in the top left cell of the free area where you want to paste the info. 9 - Click Left button, then click on Paste. 10- The data will be copied - together with the embedded links and the line colours - in different columns, ready to save in your hard disk in a searchable and sortable spreadsheet. Now you can cross your fingers, go to the next search page in Ellis Island web site, and repeat >from 4 . Save the spreadsheet frequently. Have a succesful search!
