Ellis Island Connects Users To Ancestors Through Virtual Dedicated Passenger Search Experience

Known for honoring immigrants who came to the U.S., the Ellis Island National Museum, which is part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, now offers a virtual experience called “The Dedicated Passenger Search,” to help users explore their connections to 17+ million immigrants who entered the U.S. through the Port of New York during 1820-1957. The virtual experience is said to replicate a visit to the Family History Center inside the museum to help people along their genealogical journey.
