I also suggest that if any are on FaceBook, to go to the Ellis Island page and declare your upset over the new website. I did so yesterday and in no time I had 'likes' and comments. I checked this morning and they have removed mine and other posts that were also upset with the new website. The Facebook has a more public view then our lists so maybe if those with FB accounts also register their dismay, they will change the website faster than Eastman suggests. Here is where you can find the site: The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc. They are still soliciting. 'Tell people what you think'. But only have 3 comments all favorable. > Eventually tweaks will be made to this mess, but it's going to take > time. And nothing will happen until we yell.
