I always use "shrink link" - it shortens the address and doesn't distort the thread.

Here is the link.

wow, love that shortlink, that's great, you learn something new every day!

the list with William and John is all the same passenger list for the Saint Louis entering Ellis Island in 1907, I found a link in Google to the passengers leaving, don't have it open now, so not sure where it was.

did I break the rules again, I'm always doing it by accident... sorry if I did
