The Isle of Tears
Despite the island's reputation as an "Island of Tears", the
vast majority of immigrants were treated relatively well, and were free to begin their new lives in
America after only a few hours on Ellis Island.
More information on Ellis Island, including how to trace you
own ancestors who may have passed through the halls of this
historic building is available from the Ellis Island
Foundation.
Brendan Graham wrote a wonderful song called Isle of Hope
and Tears that tells the Annie Moore story.
