Hi, gang!
I've been scarce, sorry!
For a year now I've lived about a 20-minute subway ride from the ferry to
Ellis Island. I figured it was about time I did the trip!
I enjoyed it so much! It's truly a memorable trip!
Jean Calvet is engraved on the The American Immigrant Wall of Honor. We
know he didn't come through Ellis Island, but a donor made sure his name
would be remembered. Many thanks!
(If that donor would like to step forward and tell us about the process to
get someone on the wall, why you chose your Calvit ancestor, etc, we'd
really like to hear from you. I didn't want to just give you away <g>.)
I scanned some of the brochure pictures I got while I was there. I also
took pictures of the name on the Wall. However, some of you know how bad I
am about getting pictures developed quickly! What I have now is up at:
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~morgan/ellis/
Is there a Calvit web page out there somewhere? Do we want to make one? I'd
be happy to maintain it and keep it on the Rootsweb servers just like we
have this mailing list. Please let me know. It'd be a group effort to
donate bits of interest, links, etc.
Morgan
