My mother-in-law came to NY 2nd class and did not go through Ellis Island. She
is 98 and tells us they landed (1908) at a pier on the Hudson River side of
Manhattan and were processed there.Evidently this was the practice for 1st &
2nd class passengers. We recently were at Ellis Island and verified that with
the personnel there.
