To my knowledge my grandparents didn’t say a lot about their trip. I was young when they passed away so I don’t remember them much. My grandfather traveled back to Ireland after he retired to see his brother and other relatives still in Ireland. My grandmother who still had a sister in Ireland did not want to go and stayed home.

I’ve been able to get a sense of what their journey might have been like by reading interviews of people who went through Ellis Island and sailed on the same ships as my grandparents did.
