In the peak years of immigration through Ellis Island, 12 million passed through here. Research shows that 45% of all Americans can trace an ancestor to Ellis Island. That’s pretty amazing. We were able to follow the footsteps of these millions. All I have to say is what a terrifying experience! And, I stand in awe as I consider the unthinkable lives most had in their home countries that caused them to work for years to save enough mon
ey to risk this new world. Many couldn’t even believe a policeman was there to help and protect rather than someone looking to find any excuse to kill you. Oh
how beautiful Lady Liberty must have looked to them. We have so much to be thankful for and too much we take for granted!!
