Take it up with the people who designed the entry to that museum in terms of "trace your ancestors here" and "add your ancestors to the immigration honor roll".
The history of American immigration is meaningful, including to me. I didn't find the presentation of that history at the Ellis Island Museum particularly meaningful.
It didn't help any that there were entire walls of almost-unreadable text, because someone decided that to choose a font that looked handwritten rather than one that distinguished clearly between different letters. (As you know, Bob, it is possible to do both--they didn't.)
