The Castle Garden Database is now online. This is *Free* access to the database of information on 10 million immigrants from 1830 through 1892 [the year Ellis Island opened]. According to the site the database is not yet complete...but they certainly have done a great job so far! You can search the database here: http://www.castlegarden.org/ A search of the Boyd surname = 2381 results! :-) Kind Regards, Karen from Ohio, USA
