AboutTom Bernardin Expertise Have knowledge of the old immigration facility. I was a tour guide there and am the author of The Ellis Island Island Immigrant Cookbook. Also, to some extent, The Statue of Liberty.
Question QUESTION: When did the first Bernardin come to the US, did they come through Ellis Island or Canada?
ANSWER: Well, hello from one Bernardin to another. Where/Who are you? My ancestors came down from Canada in 1885 to Massachusetts. Another branch came down from Canada to California.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Answer Hi Kenneth,
Please email me at ellisbook@aol.com. Easier.
I have a cousin Alcid Bernardin, lives in Pebble Beach, CA. I met a Tom Bernardin, CEO of a big ad agency. Is that your dad? What year was Alcid born? Who are his parents? (your great grandparents). Are you of Canadian descent? Cardinal Bernardin was Italian.
