My late, maternal great grandparents were married in New York City, in 1900, after coming from Czechoslovakia that same year. They stayed in New York City, briefly, before they came to Alberta, Canada. My late, maternal grandfather came to Ellis Island, in 1914, after coming from Poland. He then went to live and work in Chicago, before going to Montreal, Quebec, to work, and then he went to Alberta, Canada, where his two older sisters and their husbands came before he did, in the early 1900s. So, it's my maternal ancestors who came through Ellis Island in 1900, and in 1914. I do have relatives in New York City. I'm in Alberta, Canada, but I do have relatives in parts of America too. Thanks so much for sharing this. It's a very nice tour of this place. Cheers, Ariel! ✌️

So much history! I had to chuckle about the one person going to Georgia, but there was land to be had and that person probably did okay. I was taken by the lyre, squeezebox, and violin on the third floor; the musician in me, I guess. Thank you for the great tour, Ariel, and thank you for "always keeping on exploring!" 🧡

My father's grandparents came through Ellis Island in the early 1900's from central europe and had their surnames changed to match local directories as they were to settle locally in Jersey City. Bergen and Phillips. It was thought that the immigration agents were trying to give them an advantage to blend in faster, and where a common surname would help them find work. We never knew what the original surnames were. I've never been to Ellis Island, and now I want to!

Thank you for your video. I have not visited Ellis Island. In my family tree, only my maternal grandparents came through Ellis Island, 1905 (from England). They settled first in Buffalo, NY. Apparently Castle Clinton was the first immigration center, starting in about 1855. My father's side goes way back in New Jersey in colonial times, but my 2nd great grandmother arrived in NYC from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland in 1847. She came over with brother and sister and parents stayed behind. I don't know why. She was 9 years old. They stayed in NYC for a few years; she married here at Charles Street Presbyterian, had a baby, husband died same year (1860). She moved to Jersey shore and remarried 1863.

That was quite an amazing tour. I have several very distant cousins that left England (Kent & Cornwall areas) for a new life and to think they had to go through Ellis Island before moving on is mind blowing. Some ended up in Iowa and others went down to Detroit. One particular family took part in the Land Grab and bagged themselves some good farmland!

We recently did the Ellis Island/Statute of Liberty Tour and it was exhausting! The benches on the boats were very uncomfortable, and we had to wait in line up to 45 minutes for a boat to take us to the next location. Enjoyed walking around Statue of Liberty island, but Ellis Island seems to cater to certain groups and includes other groups that didn't arrive in NY.

I do wish that all Americans realized what a great diverse countr that we live in, that our strength is our diversity. I love watching the Olympics and realizing that you need to look at the uniform to identify an "American' I mean what other country in the world has multiple countires that take your DNA to identify your background ? they don't use 23 and me in Japan, just sayin
