A Potpouri of
Genealogy Search Tools

The One-Step website started out as an aid for finding passengers in the Ellis Island database. Shortly afterwards it was expanded to help with searching in the 1930 census. Over the years it has continued to evolve and today includes about 200 web-based tools divided into 16 separate categories ranging from genealogical searches to astronomical calculations to last-minute bidding on e-bay. Steve Morse will describe the range of tools available and give the highlights of each one.

(Bonus talk: Steve has agreed to remain after the regular program ends at 4:30 for a technical session for all members who are interested in staying.)

Steve Morse has revolutionized two fields. As an electrical engineer, he is known as the architect of the Intel 8086, predecessor of the Pentium processor. In recent years, Steve has mostly focused his energies on using his technical and intellectual abilities to help people research their genealogy. He has become famous for his One-Step websites. Steve is a dynamic speaker who is able to make a technical program most entertaining.
