I understand that it is currently approximately 40 percent of Americans can trace their heritage back to at least one ancestor whose records are included in the database of Ellis Island. They have a really cool project at ellisisland.org where you can search for your ancestors. More than 14 million immigrants passed through Ellis Island in the New York harbor in the 1900s.
