You have to find American censuses, marriages, Social Security numbers, WW1 and WW2 enlistments, etc.

Family Search has some among its collections.

https://www.familysearch.org/en/


You have to sign up but it is free.

Or get access to Ancestry World or FindMyPast World.

It was EllisIsland.org as I found my user name and password for the site.

After re-reading the original post that is exactly what is being sought, names.

I thought Dalenya knew about the entry via Ellis Island and wanted to know what happened afterwards.

There is an Ellis Island site that I accessed freely a few years ago - i think it was simply EllisIsland.org

Hope you find what you want soon.

You can get basic details free on this site. I haven't tried it, but that's what it says.

You would need access to worldwide subs on Ancestry or Find my past.

If you post some details I'm sure someone will look for you.

Does anyone know where to find information about a person that arrived in Ellis Island in 1913, eg what happened to them or where did they go?
