My then-young Dad (3 years old), his older brother and older sister, and their mom & dad came through Ellis Island in 1927. My uncle was traumatized by the exam they gave him (age 7 at the time).
By the way, I don’t think we were “irradiating” major diseases at Ellis Island. But we did successfully eradicate them.

Ha, yes. Thanks for the correction. I knew something was wrong with that comment the instant after I posted it. I could blame my own carelessness here. But instead I will blame Chinese hackers. They are always trying to change my posts to make me look bad.
My grandfather was a twin, and they held his brother. The family could have waited for him to get well, but they had to do as they were told or be rejected. They were from Russia, currently claimed by the MSM as Ukraine. The story was, the boy was not sick, but who needs two blonde hair blue eyed 6 year old boys? I wonder how much they got for him?
