Garbarino Helps Preserve a Family's History

A constituent contacted my office with a treasured recording from the 1970s of his grandmother recounting her journey in 1884 at the age of 14, traveling from Germany to America and entering through Ellis Island by boat. My team reached out to the Library of Congress, which recommended that the constituent contact the National Immigration Museum at Ellis Island. The museum’s oral history project accepts submissions, offering a unique way to preserve and share this remarkable family story.
