ETATS-UNIS, CONNECTICUT

We were working on a case in Connecticut. We found that a family member had come over from France and the country via Ellis Island in New York City.

On his information card, his destination was given as "Etats Unis, Connecticut". We searched maps and directories, but could not find a place with this name. Finally, we discovered to our surprise, what some of you will already know, "Etats Unis" is French for "United States"!
