We are all seeking to complete our family tree. In keeping with the belief that we all are entitled to know our heritage and those who came before us, I have created The Adoption Story Board. While it is in its infancy, I know that it will grow, just as the passenger lists grew, starting with a few lists added over ten years ago. It begins by taking the first step.

From personal experience, I know that genealogists and family historians are some of the best sleuths in the world. Please take a look and see if you may be able to help someone complete their family tree. The Adoption Story Board puts a human face and words from the heart on a situation and an injustice that has existed far too long.

Keep up to date with what's going on with ISTG volunteers, friends and families by reading the Captain's Blog. Updated 3 February 2010

Your family tree is your unique piece of history to be passed down through the ages and enjoyed by grandchildren and great-grandchildren you have yet to meet.

In this age of technology, it's important to preserve some of the past so that it is long remembered. The facts about where your ancestors came from as well as the stories that detail their everyday lives are a gift no one else but you can pass on. Don't let it go unrecorded. Start today with what you know even if you don't have a lot of information. It's a beginning and it's free. Once you put in some information, Ancestry Hints automatically starts searching for records to help you. Those records might include census data, military records and immigration records. Ask other family members to fill in the gaps, add photos and stories, events that made you laugh or cry - and you will create a keepsake for all time.

Familylink.com is offering a FREE genealogy social network where you can communicate with other genealogists in 1600 cities and 20 countries. It's rare that anything is free these days, so take advantage of this wonderful new opportunity. Here are 5 things you can do for free on FamilyLink right now.

I want to thank all the ISTG Volunteers for their exceptional work as we move into Volume 11 - having finished 10,000+ passenger lists which are now online for you.

We are been expanding our research to become more personal. If you are searching for an ancestor and you know the name of the ship, the date and port of arrival, we will do all we can to locate and publish on our site, the passenger list from that ship. The Research Team, headed by Beverly Zanon, can be contacted by emailing ISTG23@aol.com

We are still taking on new volunteers, so if you're interested in joining the Guild, you can find our Guild Application here. If you have send in an application to which you received no response, you haven't been rejected. This may be a slow process but if you've waited more than a month, please contact me by email.

If you find an ancestor on a ship on ISTG and would like to
link to your email address or home page, please submit a short
paragraph about the passenger, where settled, children, etc.,
with the name of the ship and date of arrival, and send to
the transcriber at the bottom of the manifest or to the
ISTG Production Coordinator. Be sure to include the name of the ship.
