For decades, the accepted story of Annie Moore, the first immigrant through Ellis Island on New Year's Day 1892, held that she moved to Texas, ran a hotel, and died in a streetcar accident.

I love that because the Statue was given us by France, not for taking in immigrants but for finally joining the rest of the world and ending slavery. Her ankles are shown breaking free of locks and chains.
It was decades later that the immigration aspect was tacked on.

Gustavo MenesesIn conclusion, names were changed at Ellis Island, which is proven in documentation and variations of spelling in #immigrant populations.

Seems many #name changes were opportunistic and individual decisions, a trend, or made by some other institution, all after entry.
