This is our journey from Ireland to New York. There were many journeys that we experienced and people that we met.

After 6 months of being on a boat, we arrived on Ellis island to start our journey for land and jobs. Once we got off the boat, it was straight to inspection on Ellis Island.

Because me and my wife were healthy and legal, we passed through Ellis Island in just a few hours. When we got out, it was three o'clock in the morning!
