http://www.castlegarden.org/ CastleGarden.org offers free access to an extraordinary database of information on 10 million immigrants from 1830 through 1892, the year Ellis Island opened. Over 73 million Americans can trace their ancestors to this early immigration period. Jacquie

Hi Jacquie, Thanks so much for posting the info on this website. After searching for years for my direct family line which "disappeared" after 1871 in England, I found 4 of the 7 family members arriving on a ship from Ireland in 1883. They were very easy to find on this website despite the family name ... SMITH. http://www.castlegarden.org/ Michael Kinney Portland, OR
