Ok, around 1910 were there any other places besides Ellis Island that received immigrants? If you could, please tell me the names of them. Oh and I mean in the eastern United States (Probably north-eastern?)

My grandma is half welsh, half irish, my dad is from devon, and all the rest of my family is from kent, where i live now.
I think about 6 generations ago someone on my dads side was from Holland, but that was ages ago
Where does your family come from. Probably get some more interesting answers than mine from america, mine must be pretty dull compared to the 'melting pot' haha

Every single day we get people asking seemingly simple questions that are being answered by people who know they're giving out references to bad websites in their answers. Is this really ethical? I'm trying to figure out if it's being done to be spiteful or just to get points at any cost.

Either way, why would anyone keep giving out bad information on purpose without any thought to how unethical it is?

Does anyone know if there is a place that lists USA deaths in the years 1893-1894?
Trying to find a listing for a "H", Harry, Hirsch, Hersche, etc. last name: Siegel or Segall.
read this carefully: He died in SOME state definitely from November 1893 thru August of 1894. THAT'S the time period he died. . He was born about 1860 or a few years earlier in Russia.. He died in his 30's it looks like.
(My Dads grandpa). If we can find the state, this is where he is buried. They must of taken the northern state route from N. York to Wisconsin. He did NOT die in Wisconsin. It was on the way there...(they lived somewhere) for 2-3 years. Any help would be SO appreciated to find where he died and is buried.
His wife was named Anna or Channe (Maiden name: Mark)
Siegel or Segall. Thank you!

Rephrased: If you share the same set of great-great grandparents with someone, but each of you are descended from different children of those great-great grandparents, are you related and if so, how? I would think we would be related, but what would be the classification? Cousins? Fourth cousins? Cousins four times removed? What if one person is four times removed and one is five times removed? I would think there is some relationship, but it befuddles me what that would be, exactly. Hope someone out there knows!

My father's relatives are a very interesting group. My grandma's is from Czech Republic/ Slovakia (i think) and My grandpa's is from Slovenia/Croatia. Both sides left as little information as possible about their family tree. I wouldn't doubt that my grandma is actually czech.

Does anyone know of any European good ancestory check websites. I doubt that any U.S. ancestory base would have any info on them. Also, is there any records that the goverments of these nations may or may not have kept. Just trying to peace things together.

Thanks to everyone that has serious answers!!!!

Let me know if you need more detail/more sense of the question!!!

I am helping my sister in law with her geneology project and I am having the hardest time finding any info on their Great Grandmother! I know her name,maiden name,year of birth, date of death, place of death and I have one census from when she was married. There seem to be no records of this woman before she was married. I have searched Ancestry and done a Google search but nothing came up. Where else could I look? I cannot request a copy of any vital records because I do not have enough info. Any ideas of where to look would be appreciated. IM me if you need more info!
