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.

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.
