Good morning,
Could tell me where I can find information about a person that arrived at Ellis Island in 1913, such as where did they go?

Have you tried the 1920 census, available on familysearch

If you would like to give further details, we can have a look for you.

Some of the manifests asked where the immigrant was headed. I think 1913 was late enough to include that information, but I'd have to look at one to be sure.

The answer appears to be yes, destination was included 1913.

The main thing a lot of people don't know or realize is that those passenger ship pages were very wide and had to be scanned into 2 parts.
As an example-
If you found your person on page/image 149 line 8, you would also need to advance to image 150 line 8 to get the rest of the information for that individual. That 2nd page/image is usually where, not only the final destination is listed, but most important, who the relative or friend is you are going to see and their full address.

Ditto to the information above. Also, if the person was detained due to illness or out of fear that they would need public assistance, a record of detained aliens may say who picked them up.
