Presentation by Elaine Alexander
Castle Garden began its interesting history as Castle
Clinton, a fort built in 1807 as part of the coastal fortification system in
the then still-new America. From this seemingly-unrelated beginning New
York's Castle Garden evolved to become America's first immigrant processing
center. This center served the port of New York from 1855 to April 18,
1890. It was the doorway into America for millions of immigrants in its 34
years 3 months and 18 days of existence. Then, overnight, in spite of the
almost 1,000 immigrants waiting for processing on April 19th, the State of
New York closed Castle Garden! What happened? How did this affect the
passenger arrival records? Come find out!

July 29DNA Interest Group
10am-2pm
Guest speaker Colleen Fitzpatrick, Ph.D., (who WOWed
everyone at Jamboree!) will discuss how you can use DNA to go beyond the
"Are you my cousin?" stage of genetic genealogy to learn more about the
geographical and historical context of your family. She will discuss the
basics of cladograms, and show how they can be used as a convenient tool for
interpreting your group's DNA results. She will draw on her six years'
experience as the group administrator of the Fitzpatrick DNA study to
demonstrate general features of cladograms and how they indicate the history
and development of a surname. The talk will be geared to all levels of
interest. She is the author of Forensic Genealogy and co-author with Andrew
Yeiser of DNA & Genealogy. The morning session will be the speaker; the
afternoon session will have split groups for newcomers and experienced
participants. Lunch options: bring your own or order pizza as a group. For
more information contact Alice Fairhurst (626) 331-4791 or
