FALSE! When prospective immigrants arrived at a European port to take a ship to the United States, the shipping companies were required by U.S. law to prepare a complete list of all the passengers. The employees of the shipping companies wrote down whatever name the immigrants gave them, and usually there were employees who spoke the languages of the immigrants (Polish, German, Italian, Yiddish) because the shipping company needed to be able to tell the immigrants where to go and what to do. The names on the lists of passengers prepared in Europe were the names that the Immigration agents on Ellis Island and other immigration centers used.
