SUMMARY:National Siblings Day
DESCRIPTION:National Siblings Day (also referred to as Sibling Day) on April 10th each year honors our brothers and sisters. \n\n\n \n#NationalSiblingsDay\nSiblings. They are our best friends or our worst enemies. At times\, siblings will provide us with our biggest competition\, strongest encouragement and remind us of our most embarrassing moments. \nFictional characters describe those siblings best who are both rivals and yet best friends. From The Brady Bunch and the Cosby family to The Simpsons and the Piersons\, television siblings tell our stories in humorous and dramatic form. \nWhen is National Sisters Day? \nHowever\, real-life royal siblings Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret had a different set of rules to follow making their relationship quite different from anything we would call normal. Being a queen will do that. Queen Elizabeth’s grandsons\, Princes William and Harry and William’s children\, too have royal sibling relationships that engage the world. \nPlaying fictional characters who are siblings and being siblings in front of a television audience must have created a different lifestyle for Mary Kate and Ashley Olson. Their older sister is Elizabeth. Another pair of sibling actors is Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty. And don’t forget the exuberant Tia and Tamera Mowry. \nWhen is Brother’s Day? \nThere have been plenty of presidents with siblings as well. George W. Bush has five siblings and William Jefferson Clinton has three. \nHow many siblings do you have? Are you rivals or do you support each other in all you do? \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL SIBLINGS DAY\n\nCelebrate your siblings and the times you’ve had together.\nLaugh at the awkward and ill-spent time in your youth.\nCatch up with your sibling(s). Enjoy looking at photos and videos of time spent with your sibling(s).\nPlay a song or two from the 35 Best Sister Songs list.\nShare photos of you and your siblings.\nUse #NationalSiblingsDay to post on social media.\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Ellis Island Family History Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year on April 17th\, National Ellis Island Family History Day encourages families to explore their ancestry and discover family who immigrated through Ellis Island. \n\n\n \n#EllisIslandFamilyHistoryDay\nFrom 1892 to 1924\, Ellis Island served as the busiest inspection station for millions of immigrants to the United States. On this day in 1907\, officials recorded 11\,747 names passing through Ellis Island. It was the busiest day of immigration in the station’s history. During all of 1907\, officials processed over one million immigrants through Ellis Island. \nDuring its operation\, approximately 12 million immigrants passed through the halls of Ellis Island. It operated from 1892 to 1954. Before Ellis Island\, immigrants entered the United States in New York City at Castle Garden. Just months before Ellis Island’s opening\, the old depot was demolished and ushered in a new era of immigration. The Statue of Liberty overlooks Ellis Island and was one of the first sights the nearly 2\,000 immigrants a day would see as they disembarked. \nThe new facilities offered an improvement over the Castle Garden. The large\, open\, and airy facility presented an overwhelming obstacle to some\, though. Thousands of people from many cultures and speaking different languages gathered in one place. After such a long journey\, the arrival at Ellis Island must have been stressful and confusing. What an overwhelming and exciting experience for them all! For some\, they entered Ellis Island as a step toward their future. Officials turned others away for a variety of reasons. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE ELLIS ISLAND FAMILY HISTORY DAY\nDo you have a family member who immigrated through Ellis Island? Explore your ancestry and follow your ancestors’ footsteps. Discover the history behind your family’s name or learn about their experiences as they traveled to a new land. Many documents reveal glimpses into their lives and their reasons for immigrating. \nThrough its website\, ellisisland.org\, you explore the histories of famous immigrants. You can also search passenger lists and follow the clues to your family’s past. While you research\, take a virtual tour or learn genealogy basics. Learn about these 7 Notable Ellis Island Immigrants and as you celebrate your day\, be sure to share your experience\, too. \nUse #EllisIslandFamilyHistoryDay to post on social media. \nSource Link
