Ellis Island Thursday Class Show

Ellis Island written by Cheryl E. Kemeny

Learn about the immigrant experience circa 1907 as we travel with immigrants from Italy, Russia, Hungary, Ireland, Sweden, Germany and the West Indies to journey to the “promised land”. They end up at Ellis Island, gateway to America, where they must run the gauntlet of immigration officers who determine their fitness for entry into the United States. Experience the joys and sorrows of your ancestors in this emotional saga (part one of a series).
