Discover the hidden side of Ellis Island

Ellis Island is a major tourist destination, attracting more than 4 million visitors a year. Still, much of the island remains off limits to all but a few.

My grandma immigrated to Ellis Island about 1910.. She had list 2 fingers and because physicals were strict she put a pair of white gloves on , and stuffed cotton into the glove that was missing the fingers.. She became a Midwife.. Every time I see Ellis Island I think of her

1910? is she still alive, if she is, she's 110 or older
