Ellis Island

You could spend days on Ellis Island especially if you wanted to research your geneology. It has all kinds of records available.
This is the American Flag of Faces. It is a new way to honor your family in America at historic Ellis Island. All Americans are eligible to post a photo on the Flag, whether it is a picture of your ancestors, your family today, even yourself. What is cool about this flag is it changes.
Lance remembered his grandfather came from Germany through Ellis Island. He though his name was George Kuhlmann. We found it on American Immigrant Wall of Honor.
The Memorial Wall holds 700,000 names of individual and families whose names were place there in tribute by their descendants and clelbrates their arrival in America regardless of when they came or through which port they entered.
