    1. [QUEEN] Ellis Island Records

    3. Although it's unlikely that any of the Queen bunch came over between 1892 and 1924, the Ellis Island records are now available on line www.ellisislandrecords.org The site is extremely busy and patience is a must for early birds. Persistence pays off however, I had to try 15 - 20 times but I finally found my mothers father who came from Bohemia in 1913. The site will eventually give you access to actual written records and a photo of the ship. I found that using the last name only was the most productive. If I put in my grandfathers full name, no record comes back, but if I put in his last name only, the summary record appears. Another great source, Good Luck ! Don Queen
