I have Ancestry's immigration and newspaper portion.   I'd be happy to do 
look ups.  Please email me off  list.

Have you ever found a NAME in the Ancestry newspaper search?  I was  very 
excited when upgraded my subscription to add the Newspaper and Periodical  search 
and my  first search result showed two entries for my 4th-great  grandfather, 
Emmor Jefferson Stephens.  When I viewed the actual image  however, I found 
that "Emmor" was actually "Summer", and "Jefferson" was in an  article about 
our founding father,  while "Stephens" appeared in an article  about a "lady of 
the evening"!  I stopped using this  particular function of the Ancestry 
search because it seems to be an  exercise in futility.  I'd be interested to know 
if anyone else is using  this with success...
