Just found this in the Legacy News APRIL 5, 2005.


Discover your Immigrant Ancestors
 
The Immigrant Ancestors Project, sponsored by Brigham Young University's Center for Family History and Genealogy, uses emigration records in emigrant home countries to locate the birthplaces of immigrants which are missing on many port records and naturalization documents in arrival countries.  Volunteers working with scholars and researchers at Brigham Young University are creating a database of millions of immigrants based on these emigration records.
