Immigration: My Grandparents did it properly..
Submitted by Anonymous on March 29, 2009 - 3:32 pm
My Great Grandfather came to these United States back in 1902 on a ship named the "Finland". He was from a place near Westfalia, in Germany. My Grandfather was on that ship also..at 2 years of age. They went through Ellis Island as did all other Immigrants. LEGALLY entering this Country. My other Great, Great Grandparents came from Finland in 1897. Both sides only would speak English here. They came Legally. It seems"legally" is a bad word today...What does "RACE" have to do with it ??
