It is a Myth that all who came from Europe came Legally
As I have said before. I have tried many times to find my ancestors path to the USA . My Mothers family came from Finland before there was a country of Finland. It was frustrating to find that many trails didn’t even acknowledge the existence of Finland before 1914.
“IPC has made several key observations :
Many of our ancestors would not have qualified under today’s immigration laws. Today’s requirements.
Until the late 19th century, there was very little federal regulation of immigration—there were virtually no laws to break.
Before the 20th century, there was virtually no bureaucracy responsible for enforcing immigration laws.
Prior to the 1920s, there were no numerical limitations on immigration to the U.S., but certain persons were banned from entering.
The first numerical caps on immigration and limitations on Europeans were not established until the 1920s – after the great wave of immigration to the U.S. Every restriction generated illegal immigration. Many European immigrants benefited from amnesties. “ http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/issues/history
