Delia A. Scahill - SS Etruria - Passenger - Arriving At - Port Of New York
















This is an extract from the Ellis Island website.

From 1892 to 1954, over twelve million immigrants entered the United States through the portal of Ellis Island, a small island in New York Harbor. Ellis Island is located in the upper bay just off the New Jersey coast, within the shadow of the Statue of Liberty. Through the years, this gateway to the new world was enlarged from its original 3.3 acres to 27.5 acres mostly by landfill obtained from ship ballast and possibly excess earth from the construction of the New York City subway system...

My name is Joseph Mortimer. My grandfather was George Joseph Mortimer. He was born in Westport Ireland in 1888 and immigrated with his family to the US in 1899. I have more personal information about him, but I seek and official birth certificate for him. Any advice on how to obtain such a document? my email is: blsmn@excite.com
