I didn't really know about Angel Island, but I had learned a little bit about Ellis Island. In my family history, they come from two totally different places. On my dad's side my grandpa lived in a town called Durango, and my grandma lived in a town called Coahuila in Mexico. My Grandpa drove to California, and then went to Chicago. As compared to my Grandma she just flew to Chicago. On my mom's side they lived in Poland, and then my great-great grandparent came across the Atlantic Ocean, and came to Chicago. They most likely went through Ellis Island, but I don't know.
