Rank And File
Thank you for joining me once more. If the statistics tell me no lies, I should likely be saying to you: "Welcome back"!
You've arrived just in time for the deuxième part of Stars and Stripes - and just look at you! everything's going your way these days!
This is the property of Mr. New Yorkled, with the self explanatory title: Ellis Island Immigration Museum. A favourite image, and the obvious starting point for a lot of the world, when visiting the country I now call home.
I'll spare you the usual reference points, facts, figures, etc. save to say the often quoted trivia: It is estimated today that about one third of the present population of America can trace at least one ancestor who arrived in the country through Ellis Island.
