I could not find my last name any where on the map and I think it is because i have a very rare last name. I have done reseach and my last name comes from Northumberland which is in north east England. The orgian is historic. Northumbland is on the border of england and scotland. So that means my name could of come from either on of then England or Scotland.

What do you think are some of the reasons for the changes of distributions over time? I think that it was starting to become over populated and the decided to move.

What historic events might have affected the distribution? I reasched and it said that there were alot of battles that happened there so I think that made them move.

What is it used for? Well, now it is use as a tour attraction of a museum of immigration! before it was alot of immigration happening and it was its own island and now it is part of liberty island and the statue of liberty!

 * __Ellis Island__**

Why is it located where it is? It is located in the in New York harbor but is claimed for most of the island to be part of New Jersey, it is also know to be part of liberty island which is where the statue of liberty is located! Back in the late 1800s middle 1900s there were alot of immigrants that traveled through ellis island

When did it receive most immigrants? 1.1892-1954 overe 12 million people entered the united states through ellis island people wanted to see what happen during the revolutionary war and during the war a soldier general was killed and they named a fort after him and the fort was open and people wanted to see what it was and what happen. 2.17494-1890 it was a major role in the military Revolutionary War with the british. 3.1900- the old imgraition station was burnt down to the ground and a new one was built that could hold more the the other migration station and there were 2,251 begin pasted that day.

Do you know/ think if any of your ancestors traveled through ellis island? I don't know if any of my ancestors have traveled through ellis island but it might be a great chance that the did. The reason why i think that it might be a great chance that they traveled through ellis island is because the were coming from new england and they traveled alot so i thought that it might be a very great possible chance that they did, but that is just a guess because I'm not sure.

Over my spring break I just kinda took a break from everything. Monday I didn't really do anything but help my mom with my brother and sister and make sure the house was clean. Tuesday we went to the Birmingham Zoo then after we left there we went to Milo's and then the leeds outlet center. Wednesday we had to take my sister to the doctor and then we went shopping. Thursday we just stayed around the house and did more cleaning. Friday my dad came home and we was out side doing yard work and spending time together. Saturday we cut grass. Sunday we had some friends that come over and we grilled and watched wrestle mania 28 for my brother. So my spring break was kinda just a laid back time to give me a break from school.
