Summary: They Came In Ships
Comment: There is an unbelievable amount of information packed into this book and it is organized in a way
that works for both the experienced and new genealogist. I had almost given up finding my immigrant
ancestors in several lines I'm researching until I discovered this gem. By following the step by
step information given here, I was able to find them all! Don't overlook the bibliography. The
information in it alone is well worth the price of the book. Thank you, Dr. Colletta!

Summary: Invaluable Genealogical Tool!
Comment: If you are, as I was, baffled by the maze of microfilm and sources involved in trying to track down
your ancestors' ships lists, you need this book!! The author very clearly explains the how the films
are indexed, the exceptions to the rules, etc. Perhaps the most useful aspect of this book is the
way the author walks you through various examples of how to take whatever information you have
about your ancestor and how to use the indexes to track down where to start searching for your
ancestor's ship. I read this book cover to cover twice, then tackled the library, and finally
accomplished something! I recommend it VERY highly.
