Nearly half of all Americans have ancestors who passed through Ellis Island. And waiting to welcome them with open arms was the Statue of Liberty, long a symbol of the freedom upon which this country was founded.

The Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island Immigration Museums are just short ferry rides away. See Lady Liberty up close and personal and visit Ellis Island’s Registry Room, where immigrants waited to be processed. You can search the database for your family's records.
