More than 70 years have passed since ferries of immigrants arrived at Ellis Island. But the site is still alive with the memories of all those who entered full of hope for the future — and anxious to become Americans. In this episode, Lindsay is joined by two people who work at the <a href="https://www.statueofliberty.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Foundation</a>. Stephen Lean is the director of the Records Discovery Center, and Riley Dominianni is a research assistant there. Both have found that the archives can be surprisingly personal.&nbsp;You can search for your family in the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Foundation’s database, <a href="https://www.statueofliberty.org/arrival-search/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the Arrival Records Collection</a>, which contains records for Ellis island, but also for other points of entry across the U.S.— including Massachusetts, Florida, Hawaii, California, and more.&nbsp;See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
