Same for me on Ellis Island. I HAVE the records where my grandparents came over in 1893, from the ship lists. Have ship, date, names, etc. I also searched variant spellings, and don't find mine on the Ellis Island site. Strange. Judy

I had trouble finding my grandmother on the Ellis Island page. But after trying the alternative search engine (below) I found her. The Ellis Island web page has her indexed under an incorrect spelling of her first name. This search engine found her because it didn't require a complete first name (only first initial). Also be careful about checking a box for nationality. I checked Danish and my grandfather didn't show up because it says "Dane" on the list.
