I haven't found any of my ancestors there; I was told my g-grandfather sailed here via the Panama Canal, but since he ended up in Minnesota (!), apparently without his ship...

I like genealogy for the same reason I do thrifting--the thrill of the hunt--and discovering the odd gem among the pebbles. I'll have to look again at Ellis Island for ancestors whom I've discovered since I last looked.

How neat that you have pictures to compile!
