My last name originated in scotland. I only found my name in kentucky and ohio. My last name is spread out among about 25000-49999 people across the united states. I think my name wasnt found in alabama because there arent that many people with it. I think my last name wasnt passed down by many people, because it isnt in alot of places. Maybe my last name isnt common in the united states. After i did further research

__**March 22, 2012**__ --Ellis island is used for an immigration station. Ellis Island was used as a port for immagriants to come to america. --Ellis island is where it is because although it is small, they needed a safe place to keep immagriants safe and if needed to be hidden. Ellis island was also an easy acces point for the immagriants --Ellis Island recieved the most immigrants in 1907. They recieved 1.25million in just that one year. --Yes i do think some of my ancestors traveled through ellis island because it said more than 40 percent of peoples ancestors traveled through ellis island. From my results from my last name my ancestors possibly came from scotland and so that would make them have to come through ellis island before they could reach where we are today. -- three times people viewed american as a pull factor is when they were being forced to be slaves in their country they wanted to come here for freedom.they also wanted to come here when they were inseek of jobs. their country could not or would not allow them to work so they wanted to come here for jobs. they also wanted to come here because they were insearch of a better life. the push factor of their country may have been that they were being abused or maybe their country was poor and they had bad houses.

__**April 3, 2012**__ During spring break i didnt do much of anything. The only thing i really did was went to see the hunger games. A few friends i havent seen in about 4 or 5 years came to stay with me as well. I Hung out outside most of the time. I also got to go to the carnival a couple of times. The best part about my spring break was not having to wake up so early every morning.
