Hi Paline, Just check records for Harriet & Amina, can't find any! A few James's but not 1894. Have a go yerself, If you find any I can tell how to print images for free! (They want $25 per image.

Pauline, the Ellis Island site has the arrival of Harriet Booth age 36 and children Minnie 10, Edgar 9 and Lily 10 months. (I thought Minnie might be Amina). They sailed from Liverpool Sept. 28, 1898 aboard the Majestic. It says that Harriet was going to join her husband in Ohio. (Looks like Markins Ferry, Ohio) Margaret

To print from the Ellis site When you do a search, click on ship manifest. Then click on enlarge ship manifest. Let your mouse lie on the page and a little box should appear on the top left hand corner with little pictures for save, print, email or open folder. Either click save or print (or both) If that doesnt work for some reason i think that the images are available on ancestry so a nice message asking for a member to send the images to you might be an idea.

Forgot to mention There are usually two pages but you might only see one, try going backwards or forwards and looking for the same family - take note of their number on the page. You might find they went to live with some relatives already across there :) Mhairi

After looking at the census image: it looks like the Booths lived on 6th Street and the next street on the image appears to be Center Street. If you check MapQuest and type 600 Center Street, Martins Ferry, Ohio, Center Street crosses 6th Street. Although it's not a detailed image on Mapquest, you can chose 'aerial image' and see an actual photo of the area. PS I can send the 1900 census image and the 5-Oct-1898, 20-Oct-1898 and Nov 15 1897 images, if you like?
