I am trying to trace relatives from Long Island. Percy (arrived c.1919) Miles taylor was an accountant. His son, believed to be Percy was connected with a car business. Does anyone know of them or their whereabouts please? I live in London, England, and would love to know.
Why don’t you post this on my forum? Go to the home page at http://longisland.about.com and on the left-hand side, near the top middle of the page, you’ll see a link in red that says “My Blog.” Click on this and then leave a message.
Also, you might try some of the Long Island libraries. I’m sure a reference librarian could help with this.
Or if your relative came in through Ellis Island, their site has some great features for finding the ship that relatives came in on, etc.
Good luck!
