I had some "free time" ? last night so I decided to get back into my genealogy research. I realized I had some cool records that I had found on my "genealogy trip" that I went on last spring to the Ft. Wayne Library. I had found some kind of registration cards, census records, US depart. of Labor Manifest, all for my paternal grandfather, Robert J. Russell. So last night I dug around and found his Naturalization record, then I found out the ship he sailed from Ireland and have an actual copy of the Passenger List. I found out that he sailed on the ship Columbia from Londonderry Ireland which left on 25, September, 1920. The ship arrived on 5 October, 1920 in New York, New York. So I thought wow, that must have been Ellis Island. So I looked up the record for Ellis Island and found out that is where the ship landed. Pretty exciting stuff.
