Dear Cousin Heathcliff,
I read that Ellis Island opened in 1892. How were immigrants processed
before Ellis Island opened?
Thanks so much, Jerry
Dear Jerry,
Before Ellis Island opened millions of immigrants coming in through New York was processed
at the Castle Garden Immigration Depot in lower Manhattan. Here is the link to their website http://www.castlegarden.org/ .
