Immigration Archives - We The People

The Gjenvick-Gjønvik Archives has considerable documents and information on the mass migration of immigrants from primarily European countries to North America. Note that Immigration and the social - economic and other factors may be covered under separate topics.

The immigrants gained access to the United States principally through the north Atlantic ports of entry of the steamship lines. These ports, in order of importance were: New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Through New York at Ellis Island came nearly three-fouths of all our immigrants.
