Who isStephen P. Morse

• Genealogist who liked doing research from comfort of home, but frustrated as:– Sites had different ways to use them– Frequently required accessing multiple databases– Frequently had multiple steps to get results

• Initially developed tool on Ellis Island Database• Called tool “One Step” as tool could make

desired query in one step. • Once branded as the “One Step Webpage,” he

developed tools to access other databases using the same methodology.


Early Beginnings

• First tool developed was for the white form for searching the Ellis Island databases

• Released to the public in 2001 shortly after the Ellis Island database was put on line

• Tool was expanded to support other colored forms

• Next project was the 1930 Census• Now he supports searches through many

databases using one step technology
