Hello, my name is Laura. I visited NY back in 1979. I was 33 at that time . Just about to graduate from nursing school. I loved New York so very much. I saw as much as I could and have revisited once only. I was able to see Ellis Island in 1979 it was open but not renovated yet. It was just a relic from the last to come here. It was in very bad shape but you were allowed to go as you please anywhere. It was like a ghost town. I want to thank you for doing these videos. I loved seeing Ellis all repaired and back to her old glory . I think the hospital is still unrepaired? Thank you very much. I’m now 74 and with not too much time left but it’s been wonderful to go back in my memories to see NY . Of course back in 79 see was still recovering. All your videos walks in all seasons helps me imagine me there. I’m too frail now to visit again . I tell myself I will go back one last time to East Coast in fall. But I probably won’t. So thank you for making some of my dreams come true virtually. Wishing you all the best in all your endeavors. Thank you again. Laura
My grandfather was an immigrant that passed though Ellis island from Greece yes his name is in the memorial! and he must of been amazed when he and so many others saw the statue of liberty for that first time! he was a great and heroic man in his lifetime! God bless you Papou! from your granddaughter!
I would have never been able to read even half of all those many rooms of displays and information. Thank you so much for the walk-through that’s all I needed. God Bless AK
OMG! I should have known that you had a great video of this historic place! This is where I'm going to visit next year. My grandmother emmigrated here with my mom, who was just 5 years old, in 1949. I want to visit to somewhat know what that part of their journey was like. I still remember the story my grandmother told me about how she took my mom to the 🗽Statue of Liberty, and they made it all the way to you crown, and my mom thew up there. 🤭 I wish they both were still alive so we could go there together and I could hear more about their experiences there. Sadly, I didn't think to do that until now. 😌 They did live for a time in NYC, I couldn't tell you where exactly because I never thought to ask. So much of my personal history has been lost because I didn't think to ask. 🙆🏻♀️ Thanks so much for this!
My great great grandmother traveled in steerage. She was immigrating from Greece she has her name on the memorial. She also got her name changed it was Pappasdoilsoukos now pappas
Action Kid! I just commented on Here Be There (hope I remembered that right, just subscribed to him today) that I loved you! ❤️ You gave metro card tips.
as usual, you did a great job! i enjoy all of your walk-a - abouts i started using them with my VR headset and it works out like i was walking these sites! you should put that down" you can use with VR headset to get the feeling like you are walking the sites" next..... off to view liberty Island!
Every ocean liner that's ever existed has been docked here at some point. I'm talking ships the likes of Olympic, Lusitania, Mauritania, and Queen Mary
I visited in March of 2019 with my Theatre class, several months later my grandfather gave me old letters and albums his mother made before she died, and I learned about my great grandparents. My paternal great grandfather was a Russian Jew, he came here with his family as a small child. He died when my grandfather was only 9. Unfortunately I didn't really get to see much of what was in this video, but I really wish I had, we only really had time to look around for 20 minutes and eat lunch.
I really DID NPOT KNOW, about Ellis IslaND, that it was b urned down in 1897. And there was that scene in "The Godfather 2" in which young Don Vito Corleone went thru Ellis IslaND as a ten [or so] yeaR old boy. '

¡ Thanks for your big job man! I had enjoying the visit to a impressive museum.
Actually it was a little bit too big for me to finish everything. There was still a section of the museum I missed and the boat was leaving soon!
