    • Abstract:
      Summary: "During the peak years 1892 to 1924 over 22 million passengers entered New York through Ellis Island, leaving behind a body of records that are crucial in bridging the gap between the old country and the new. And these records are ... unique, providing information that can't be found anywhere else. Examples of this information include the passenger's last place of residence, final destination in the U.S., if going to join a relative, the relative's name and address, personal description, place of birth, and name and address of closest living relative in the native country. The records containing this information are available on National Archives microfilm and online in two principal databases, but [this publication offers a] key to their location and use .... [helping make] ... Ellis Island records ... intelligible and accessible ...."--Publisher's website.
