I haven't had time to play with it yet, but I just learned that search-guru, Steve Morse, has developed a new gold search form for unearthing those ancestors hidden in the depths of the Ellis Island database.
The first thing that jumps out at me with this form is that you can now search on traveling companions (previously only possible with Steve's blue form for Jewish passengers). That's especially handy for those situations where you know that several family members came together. And at the bottom of the page, you can now specify which fields you'd like to see displayed on the results page and how you'd like to have the results sorted.
Steve's search tools just keep getting better and better! You'll have to excuse me, as I've got some experimenting to do!
