Who was processed at Ellis Island and what did that involve? How did the Legislation of Immigration affect Ellis Island? Join genealogist Seema Kenney as she discusses the history of the island, other inspection sites, and of immigration to our country.
I started in the business of genealogy after completing the Genealogical Research Certificate Program at Boston University’s Center for Professional Education in 2010. Since then, I continued my education via ProGen & NIGR in 2012. Along the way, I joined several Genealogy Societies, attended local conferences, and enjoyed several webinars.
I am a wife, mother of three boys, and entrepreneur. I started exploring my family history when still in High School. My paternal family roots go deep into Colonial New England, especially in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maine. My European roots include English, German, and Swedish. DNA has recently added a branch to my family tree from The Netherlands.
My other hobbies include puzzles and needle arts projects. I have a B.A in Spanish & Social Science and a B.S. in Management Information Systems/Business Administration (MIS/BA).
