A collection of more than 1,700 recorded oral histories from immigrants who arrived in the United States through Ellis Island will be available free online starting Thursday at www.ancestry.com/immigration. The histories, recorded by the National Park Service starting in the 1970s, are housed at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum and until now have been available only to island visitors.
