Ellis Island


At the beginning of the 20th century, some familymembers went from The Netherlands to the United States of America. The main reason was to get a better life in the US, because in Europe the economic conditions were bad. They wanted to start a new future in the US. People traveled by steam ship (S.S.) and arrived at Ellis Island. From 1892 until 1924 this was the place for many immigrants from which they entered the US. I found of 15 familymembers the information about their immigration. These data is placed at the website of Ellis Island
