     Through the portals of the Ellis Island Ferry
     they came in droves daily, the emigrants, the
     new Americans, with features tense and eyes
     wide, eagar for this great adventure on new shores.

Migrations Project Home Page: Migrations was conceived on February 8, 1999 when Patrick Hays coded the first Migrations
pages for Custer and Fremont Cos., CO and Hancock Co., KY, which were modeled on the
VAGenWeb Migrations Project. In October 1999, he started a Migrations Project in Michigan
and started linking to both USGenWeb and ALHN. Because of the teamwork of the volunteers
from both of those projects, everything started to pick up speed. After several days of
negotiations, the Domain name was purchased on October 30, 1999, and coding was begun on
the projects national database.
