Ellis Island Database

In mid-April 2001, the Ellis Island Database went online. With these links you can go to the main page at http://www.ellisislandrecords.org or to go straight to the "grabois" search results. This also includes immigration records into Canada.

I've highlighted several rows, to keep everyone together by known or presumed family (or being the same person on two occasions). My known relatives are highlighted in light green.
