Hi all Iv recently found out my great aunt josephine was the nanny to irving berlins three daughters and moved from belfast to the usa. I have a picture sent to me of my great aunt with one of his daughters. How would i go abt finding my great aunts address in the usa and any sort of reference to her. She never married and used to visit my grandad when he was a wee toddler back in belfast. Josephine wilson was born abt 1886. Kind regards Danny Wilson |

With a bit of luck she should be on the 1930 census, which you can find on www.ancestry*com (replace asterisk with dot). |

good luck with this. My grandma was nanny to Arthur Conan Doyle's children, but so far I can't find any reference to her (eagerly awaiting 1911 census). |

I've just found one of my relations on the Ellis Island website. If she went to N.Y. by boat she may be listed there. If you're lucky you may find the address and other details. www.ellisisland.org |
