Emigrants from Drenthe - 0 views

  •  
    This site uses a database containing genealogical information on emigrants from the Dutch province of Drenthe, which was compiled by researcher Arend Everts from Hoogeveen. He searched the 1840-1930 census records of all towns in this province and several towns in the provinces of Groningen and Overijssel for 'departed persons'. The data was then checked against information from the archives of Pella, Iowa, Holland, Michigan and Grand Rapids, Michigan. In addition to the emigrant indexes (passenger lists 1820-1880 and American census records 1850-1870) published by Robert Swieringa, 'Emigrants from Drenthe' aims to be a handy resource for genealogical research.

US Railroad Retirement Board | Genealogy Research - 0 views

  • The U.S. Railroad Retirement Board administers a Federal retirement benefit program covering the nation's railroad workers.  The records it maintains deal primarily with the administration and payment of these benefits.  The Board will provide information from its records on deceased persons for the purpose of genealogical research.  However, it will not release information on persons who are still living without the written consent of that person. Our records are limited to individuals who worked in the rail industry after 1936.  Please do not contact us with requests for records before that date. We don't have that information.
