Ellis Island or Ancestry global
« on: Sunday 27 May 07 19:38 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have an ancestor who emigrated to US and have found him indexed on Ellis Island website.  What information would I find in 1903 for my $45.  Or would I be better of upgrading my ancestry to the global package and get the same info or different Info?

Does anyone out there do look ups on Ellis island?

Cheers

Hello Spark,

Ellis Island searches are free :)  You can get the passenger manifests up with no trouble at all.

Membership of Ellis Island  at $45 is not required in order to use their online database.

Hope that helps

Elllis Island asks me to register to view the manifest.

So can I register for free to see the manifest?

Thanks
