== == For most of the 18th and 19th centuries, there was no comprehensive record keeping. Individual ship's captains did keep passenger manifests, but they were under no legal obligation to do so. When people landed in the USA there was no system to keep track of them. After the American Civil War ended, the federal Government began to require more accurate records be kept, and by the 1890's each person was recorded in a master set of record books. One of the most popular entry points to the USA for Immigrants, was Ellis Island in the harbor of New York City. Ellis Island was also a isolation point for those that had communicable illness. Many died there and were buried in um-marked graves on Ellis Island. By the 1920's Immigrants had to have official passports and other identity papers to get into the USA.
