Today after the meeting, a question was raised about Ellis Island. I learned that all immigrations did not have to go through Ellis Island. This link http://www.ellisisland.org/genealogy/ellis_island_history.asp has a short history of immigration at the Port of New York.
The article also mentions a fire that destroyed many immigrations records for the period of 1855-1897.
