Broughtons of Ellis Island

Millions of immigrants braved the oceans to land on the shores of America and many entered the gates of the New World at Ellis Island where the flames of freedom beckoned from the hand of Lady Liberty. Some certainly answered to the name Broughton. Their names are engraved in our nation's memory on the American Immigrant Wall of Honor which circles the statue. For those who cannot travel to see the wall firsthand, we've honored them here as well.

* = All names listed on Panels 001 and 579-650 are currently being inscribed at Ellis Island and will not be available for viewing at the Museum until early in 1999.
