The library has many resources about genealogy and Ellis Island - check out these titles:
• If Your Name Was Changed At Ellis Island by Ellen Levine and Wayne Parmenter
• Coming To America: The Story Of Immigration by Betsy Maestro and Susannah Ryan
• I Was Dreaming to Come to America: Memories from the Ellis Island Oral History Project by Veronica Lawlor and Rudolph W. Giuliani
• The Arrival by Shaun Tan
We are also extremely luck to have a very extensive collection of genealogy and local history materials at the Onondaga County Public Library in downtown Syracuse. The staff at the Local History and Genealogy Department are very good at what they do, and can assist in the research process.
