WOW NO WONDER THEY CALL THIS ROOM THE GREAT HALL THIS ROOM IS 200 FEET LONG AND 102 FEET WIDE.

THE MEDICAL EXAM DOCTORS DID WHAT THEY CALLED A SIX SECOND PHYSICAL THEY LOOKED FOR DISEASES IF THEY PASSED THE EXAM THEY WOULD GO TO THE NEXT STOP IF THEY DID NOT PASS THEY WOULD GET CHECKED MORE.

ELLIS ISLAND OFFICERS ASKED 29 QUESTIONS TO THE IMMIGRANTS TO ANSWER.
