Family Tree
From the statue you can jump onto any old boat. They all go to the same place, Elis Island. The landmark has a strange mixture of Disneyland and a Memorial. They've got big graph like exhibits, a café, and touch screen interfaces which make things very jovial.
They even have a picture booth where one sits and smiles for the camera. Once your face is digitized the computer places you into the incredibly depressing immigration line. There you are all smiles and cleanliness among the poor, tired, and huddled masses.
Finally, they have taken the names of the immigrants and placed them out on the lawn in a growing copy of the Vietnam Memorial. We all gleefully parted ways as we sought out our distant relatives. My family appeared like this:
The Muller Family
The Muller Family
The Muller Family
I claimed the second family as my own.

Actually, I'm certain that yours is the third that appears there. Note the slight difference in "The".
Clearly, Erin has chosen the correct one. I hear the second "The Muller Family" are jerks. Kinda like those jerks in pod six.
Also, I hear the only reason the first "The Muller Family" came over anyway was because of some extramarital issues involving a twelve-year-old the patriarch was needing to avoid in his home country.
I could be wrong, though.
I hate those lazy bastards in pod six.
