National Ellis Island Family History Day is on April 17. This day celebrates the history of Ellis Island, a place in New York where many families arrived when they moved to America long ago. It's a day to think about our ancestors and their journeys to start a new life in a new country. People often learn about their family trees and explore stories about where they came from. This helps us understand who we are and the different cultures that make up America.
