After passing through Ellis Island, the new imigrant went to the airport. He asked the clerk "would you please send one of my bags to New York, one to Los Angeles, and one to Miami?", as he didnt know where he wanted to go yet. She looked up at him coolly and said, "I'm afraid we can't do that, sir." "Really?" he replied, "I heard that you do that all the time with people's luggage".

It’s estimated that nearly 40% of all current U.S. citizens can trace at least one ancestor back to Ellis Island. To commemorate Ellis Island Family History Day on April 17, Tidbits focuses on the facts of this famous immigration station. • In the 1600s, Ellis Island was the home of Mohegan Indians, who called it Kioshk, or Gull Island. The 3.3-acre island was purchased in the 1630s by a Dutchman, who renamed it Oyster Island because of the large numbers of shellfish found on its beaches. During the 1700s, it was renamed again, this time to Gibbet Island, a term for a large upright post used as a gallows. The island was regularly used as a place to hang those convicted of piracy. • New York merchant Samuel Ellis bought the island in 1775, and built a tavern there to serve local fisherman. It changed hands again in 1808 when the state of New York purchased it, and used it to store ammunition during the War of 1812. • The last hanging occurred in 1839. After its use as a munitions arsenal for the Union Army during the Civil War, the island was vacant for many years. • It was decided during the 1880s that New York’s immigration station at Castle Garden, which had processed more than 8 million immigrants over a 35-year span, would be replaced by a new facility on Ellis Island. Expansion of the island began by adding landfill obtained by the excavation for New York City’s subway tunnels. The area doubled to more than six acres. turn the page for more!
