The famous island that many German immigrants passed through was Ellis Island. Located in New York Harbor, it served as the primary entry point for millions of immigrants arriving in the United States from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. Ellis Island processed a diverse array of immigrants, including Germans, who sought new opportunities and a better life in America.

Immigrants from Canada did not typically go through Ellis Island, as it primarily served as the entry point for immigrants arriving by ship from Europe. Most Canadian immigrants entered the United States through other border crossings or ports. However, some individuals from Canada, particularly those arriving by sea, may have passed through Ellis Island if they were traveling from other countries. Overall, the majority of Canadian immigrants used different routes to enter the U.S.
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)
