Waystation
There is so much to see and learn in the displays at Ellis Island. One of my ancestors came through here from Finland 123 years ago. Most entered the country rather quickly others had to remain here for a time until allowed in or sent back "across the pond". There is a section of one of the rooms where the graffiti on a wall has been preserved, messages from those hopefuls of 100 years ago. August 7, 2022.
