Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 5 Send Message	Can anyone advise me how I trace an immigrant in the early 1800"s? I have come across a GGG Grandfather in the 1841 Census born 1775 and marked as "F" in where born. I have no idea where to start looking and would appreciate guidance from all you knowledgable folks! Cheers Jan
