第一個移民登上艾力司島 (Ellis Island)
1892
11

幾乎有一半美國人的祖先都是經由艾力司島進入美國的,但是那只是船隻靠岸的許多港口之一。其他港口則包括費城、波士頓,以及巴爾的摩等等。問問你的家人,看你的祖先是怎麼進入美國的。如果你的祖先來自加拿大或墨西哥,那他們是怎麼進入美國的呢?

Nearly half of all Americans have ancestors who came here through Ellis Island, but this was only one of many ports of entry for ships; some others were Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore. Ask someone in your family about how your grandparents or great-grandparents came to this country. If your ancestors came from Canada or Mexico, how would they have entered America?
