2016 will be the centennial of the National Park Service.
Did your immigrant ancestors arrive through Ellis Island? My maternal grandparents, Paul and Dagmar Sevaldsen did. My paternal grand aunt Anna Abrahamsson Jacobson did with her first three children, Rudolf, David and Betty. Have you ever visited? These 360-degree photos of Ellis Island help you "see" what our ancestors saw. You can feel like you are standing on the island. Thank you CAGGNI facebook page for giving me a heads up to pass this on to my family.
Imagine the thrill of seeing the welcoming Lady Liberty after weeks of being at sea.
Imagine the fear knowing you will pass through these Ellis Island doors
to be questioned and examined to be found worthy of entering.
