Genealogical Society of Bergen County - Monthly Meeting - in-person at Ridgewood Public Library
More Stories From Ellis Island: Those Who Were Held
Presentation by GSBC Trustee, Fred J Voss

From 1892 to 1954, more than 12.5 million immigrants were processed through Ellis Island.  Most were processed without incident. But some immigrants found themselves detained due to mental or physical illness, because their paperwork was not in order, or because those who were due to receive them did not show.  Mr. Voss will tell their stories. 

GSBC meetings and webinars are free and open to the public.  For more information about our society, visit our web site, here.
