Eileen-
Thanks for returning my message.The information I found regarding ship manifests is from http://www.ellisislandrecords.orghttp://www.ellisislandrecords.org.So, far I found passenger records from 1893, and 1905.Barbara and the younger children returned to the US in Aug. 1905, but sons Thomas and Robert returned earlier that year (Jan.).The manifest states that they were meeting their father here, but I have not been able to find a record of when he returned to the states.He may not have returned through Ellis Island, and I will have to research what other gateways there may have been.You gave the name of one of the children as William....I talked to my mother and based on ages and the fact that she never heard of a William, we believe that it is actually Ernest, as he was two years older than Ethel.I was born here in West Virginia and have lived here most of my life (my husband and I lived in Florida for 5 years).I was very close to my maternal grandmother, who was the daughter of Thomas which is why I am so interested in learning all I can about her family, since it is my heritage too.I still haven't figured out how you and I are related (I'm sure cousins of some sort)I look forward to sharing more information with you.If you have anything else to share, I would appreciate it.
Ann
