Genealogical research in the Immigration Museum The Ellis Island Immigration Museum documents the population history from the Native Americans up to today's immigrants. On this very nice website you can do genealogical research with just a few clicks. If you want to find ancestors who have come to the US between 1892 and 1924, but are not sure whether they have made it through immigration control that was already very strict back then, you can just search the museum's database. Experience has shown that it is otherwise very difficult to find out anything from US immigration. And also in other respects the museum is a great place to have a look at for US fans and green card applicants.
