Did you have ancestors come to
America
in late 1800's to early 1900's? If so, they may have passed through Ellis Island. This experience was usually quite difficult. Before they even arrived at Ellis Island, they traveled across the ocean on a ship usually in the steerage class. It was over crowded and unsanitary. Many were quarantined on the island for some time until they were allowed to enter New York. If you ever get the chance go see for yourself don't miss it. The building is a museum full of histories and information. But if you can't make a trip there, you can take a tour at their sight here!!
Happy Family History Friday! Love, Joy
