Description

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 great-grandparents began a new American life there, Ellis Island is the symbolic shrine to freedom and opportunity. Ellis Island: Tracing Your Family History Through America's Gateway gives a family history approach to this famous monument's history. With morethan 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.
