Nearly half the the current United States population is directly related to immigrants who passed through Ellis Island.
Beneath the shadow of the Statue of Liberty stands Ellis Island, threshold of liberty for more than 16 million immigrants. For them and countless others whose parents, grandparents, and greata-grandparent began a new American life there, Ellis Island is the symbolic shrine to freedom and opprtunity.
This book gives a familly history approach to this famous monument's history. With more than 30 images, it includes an overview of the history of immigration, a description of the process each immigrant endured at Ellis Island, and basic instruction on how to find out if an ancestor came through Ellis Island.
