Abstract
Description
During its 62 years in operation, Ellis Island accommodated more than 12 million immigrants on their way to new lives in the United States of America.
Beginning with Annie Moore, an Irish teenager and the very first immigrant processed at the station, Ellis Island lays claim to the ancestors of at least 40 percent of Americans today.
