The Statue of Liberty - Ellis Island Foundation (SOLEIF) is a private sector charity which partners with the National Park Service to restore and maintain these monuments. In addition SOLEIF has created an American Immigrant Wall of Honor, listing the names of 700,000 immigrants to date. If your ancestors entered the United States through Ellis Island, you can locate then using the SOLEIF's passenger search page.

Since the foundation updated their website a couple of years ago, it is somewhat cumbersome to use. Images jump around when the cursor hovers and multiple records I've tried to locate are linked the incorrect pages. MyHeritage vastly improved the ships' passenger lists searchability and also added a search category for names of those to whom passengers were going.
