LATEST NEWS FROM THE NYG&B - JULY 27, 2005
CastleGarden.org. On August 1, the 150th anniversary of the opening of the
Castle Garden immigration station, The Battery Conservancy will launch
www.CastleGarden.org, giving you access to a database created from the Port of New
York passenger lists from 1820 (when the lists begin) to 1892 (when the Ellis
Island lists start). Some 10 million immigrants entered the Port during these
years, and the database currently covers 80% of them, with work continuing.
A basic search for a name will be free, and more advanced searches will be
available for a fee. We are pleased to announce that The Battery Conservancy
has asked The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society to be their
partner in helping those who find names in the database to pursue further research
on their families.
