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. It was entirely wrong. Years of research by professional genealogist Megan Smolenyak uncovered the truth. Untapped New York tells the full story.

getmischGot it from the Blue-ski. It was credited as "street art", "Paris 11th" (district, where my sister used to live).
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.
However, it may have not been an official policy, rather an error in judgement due to prejudice of #ellisisland staff.
Seems many #name changes were opportunistic and individual decisions, a trend, or made by some other institution, all after entry.

Ellis Island is an island in New York Harbor, within the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York. Owned by the U.S. government, Ellis Island was once the busiest immigrant inspection and processing station in the United States. From 1892 to 1954, nearly 12 million immigrants arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey were processed there; as many as two-fifths of Americans may be descended from these immigrants. It has been part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument since 1965 and is accessible to the public only by ferry. The north side of the island is a national museum of immigration, while the south side of the island, including the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital, is open to the public through guided tours.
