Business & Finance - 3 October 2006

Supposedly, my great grandmother had some shares of Niagara Power and Light. She was from Buffalo, NY and got some at the formation of the company. There are no stock certificates that I know of and we know about them only from a letter we found written by my great grandma leaving them to my grandma. Both of them are now deceased. My grandma did not know about them. Is there some kind of search that I can do to locate these shares? Would they be in some historical ledger from the company? Or, do I have nothing with out the certificates? They would have been from around the 1920s.

I am a recent college graduate in industrial engineering. I have a decent GPA of 3.0 and good work experience (I have had 3 internships while in school) but I am having serious problems landing a full time job. The main reason is because I am not a USA citizen or permanent resident, hence I would require sponsorship from a company to be hired full time. I

Please tell me what to do, I have gone to career fairs, applied on a lot of companies website, currently using monster and career builder etc. But I am having not being able to get anything. Recruiters give me a call when they see my resume but once they realized I would need sponsorship, the conversation dies down.

PLEASE WHAT CAN I DO TO GET A JOB AND GET SPONSORSHIP FOR A H-1B visa.

I have a degree in Graphic Design and I want to receive a Bachelor's Degree in a field that will compliment my 1st degree, as well as prepare me with the knowledge to run my own entertainment promotion company.

example: We will service to upcoming music artists, models, comedians and provide the marketing and promotion needs for them. Kind of like a one stop shop for album covers, flyers, press release, etc...etc.

Would a degree in Marketing or Advertising be most efficient.

Actually the school that I was looking at teaches both the curriclum of Advertising and Design. They call it Advertsing Design. So it allows me to use my design sense and apply it to Advertising. But will this really help me with promotions?

I'm trying to find out what happened to my grandparents home in Pontotoc, MS. I spent 14 summers with them in their beautiful 10-room, 5-bedroom, 2-bath colonial home (1923-1936). I last visited the home in 1946, and heard it was destroyed by fire in the 1950s. I revisited the site in 1999, but the property had been divided up into smaller lots, and several homes had been built on Brook St. It has been suggested that a local Title Company might be able to tell me what happened to the property. Tha local Fire Chief could not find any records going back that far.
