SOME ACCOUNT OF MY LIFE
by Rev. John Clarke

I have often felt a desire to know something more than I do respecting my ancestors; I wish they had left behind them some record from which I could learn who they were, what they were and where they lived. A little of what they saw and felt and heard and did. I should like to go back with them some three or four centuries at least and hear their account of themselves and of the times in which they lived and of the part they played and some of the persons with whom they met. Perphaps the same desire may be felt by some of my children or their descendents. In order, therefore to meet such a desire as far as I can, and also to enable me to more fully and leisurely to review some of the scenes through which I have passed and to trace the dealings up to the present period, I purpose giving a brief sketch of my own life, prefacing it with such scraps of information respecting my immediate progenitors as I have from time to time, received in conversation or can supply from my own knowledge that I may gratify my children as I wish my forefathers had gratified me.

GERMANS TO AMERICA
50 VOLUMES THAT ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED

A review of Germans to America. Lists of Passengers Arriving at U.S. Ports.
by Ira A. Glazier/William P. Filby.
First published in: The Palatine Immigrant

To Quote a Paragraph from that review:
"The dead go ashore, travelers disappear, ships do not show up, towns remain unknown
Historians and genealogists are promised,in the introduction, an extensive body of data that supposedly should make a detailed reconstruction of these migration movements possible. With this edition, supposedly, "researchers [are] in a position . . . to study this migration micro-historically, to follow individuals and families from their places of origin to their destinations, and to concentrate on their personal conditions . . . Scholars are now able . . . to give this mass movement a more human dimension." Ira A. Glazier attests to the diligence and conscientiousness of the co-workers of the Temple-Balch Institute's Center for Immigration Research in Philadelphia. None of that proves to be true. The renowned scholar would have done better to remain silent."

From NY with Neglect

To rescue poor and homeless children begins in the 1850s, when thousands of children roamed the streets of
New York in search of money, food and shelter.
Prey to disease and crime. Many sold matches, rags, or newspapers to survive. For protection against street violence, they banded together and formed gangs. Police, faced with a growing problem, were known to arrest vagrant children--some as young as five--locking them up with adult criminals.

Remember, links are terrific, and a great cool" but they shouldn't be used as the only source of research. Finding your ancestors passenger list, immigration and natualization papers takes letter writing, ordering passenger films through your local Family History Center or Library, or going to the National Archives and searching
film after film. Now that's REALLY searching. Granted, you may find some links to your family, but not all can be found through the internet, be it a link or any other internet source. The internet is a tool, but to find your family, and to prove it's them, you need documentation,
actual passenger lists, social security records, birth records, marriage records, and so on.

A WONDERFUL STORY BY ANGUS BAXTER, AUTHOR
OF "IN SEARCH OF YOUR GERMAN ROOTS"

Perhaps you will find, as I once did, the ruins of an old house once built and occupied by an ancestor. I doubt, however, if any find could be as romantic than mine. Many years ago on a spring morning, just after daybreak, I was poking about in the ruins of an old house called Swindalehead. The silence was total, except for the sound of a few sheep grazing nearby. I found a massive beam that must have been the original support for the bedroom over the living area. Suddenly I noticed some faint craving in the wood. I rubbed away at the dirt and grime, and picked away at the indentation with an old square nail I found. Finally I could decipher it____JBIB 1539. I knew who they were! John Baxter and his wife, Isabel Wilkinson, and 1539 was the year of their marriage. I also know that in that year John was nineteen and Isabel was eighteen, and they had been given the farm as a wedding present by John's father. Standing in the ruins in the silence and the stillness of that lonely, lovely valley of my ancestors, I could picture the two youngsters setting up house together ___John carving the initials in the heavy beam and Isabel holding firm the chair on which he stood. In that moment all my ancestors crowded around me and all my searching for my roots was worthwhile
GO FORWARD THEN__THERE IS STILL MAGIC IN THE WORLD, AND LOVE AND WARMTH AND HAPPINESS
