Why Ellis Island is important?
Ellis Island is important as people from round the world, their ancestors will have passed through there to get to America. That is what has made America so culturally diverse today. Millions of immigrants passed through Ellis Island. A fire on Ellis Island burnt down records of immigrants passing through, no copies were made of these so tracing ancestors can be a difficulty. (I visited the Ellis Island Museum but I still do not fully understand so don't take all my words! :P)

Why should people visit Ellis Island?
On Ellis Island you can visit the Statue of Liberty and that place where the immigrants went! i have been and both are amazing! you get the boat out to ellis island and you pass the Statue of Liberty so if you just want to take a photo of it rather then climb it e.t.c then as you pass take a quick pic! Otherwise ellis island is definitely a place to go, it has activities for young children and lots of great information for older people. My favourite part was watching the video of what it was like for the immigrants. It was sad but VERY interesting! i highly recommend it! Hope that helps! Rx

Was Shortening a familys surname was common practice on Ellis Island when immigrants arrived. true or false?
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.
