(i.e. Castle Garden and Old Barge office) Online Ellis Island Records (EIR) cover 1892-1924. Castle Garden (Battery NYC) was used as an immigration station 1855-1890. There are no Passenger Lists remaining for Castle Garden. No Ellis Island immigration station existed until 1892. Pending the building of the Ellis Island immigration station the Old Barge Office (in Battery Park) was used as the NYC immigration station (1890-1891) On January 1892 Ellis Island was ready for use and it was used as such until June 15, 1897 when its two wooden buildings burned down. Once again the old Barge Office was used 1897 to 1900. A new Ellis Island station was rebuilt and reopened on December 17, 1900. The records for 1855-1890 were destroyed in the above 1897 fire.

The following NARA series of microfilms are of the ARRIVAL RECORDS for the Port of New York, when the *processing station* (such as it was, being run by the city of New York) was Castle Garden. What there IS NOT, is an index or soundex for these years which allows finding of people by name. As is always true for immigrant passenger arrival records, or customs manifests in earlier years, the critical data for finding someone is knowing the PORT, the ARRIVAL DATE, and the SHIP NAME -- because the records are microfilmed in chronological order by PORT. Indexes to determine this critical data have been prepared for some dates, but not all. The processing station has no relevancy for identifying and obtaining the record via microfilm because NARA did not use this in organizing HOW the arrival records were filmed.

The above indicates there are 675 rolls of microfilms of ***passenger lists*** from vessels arriving at the PORT of New York for the years 1820 to 1897. Thus it is inclusive of passengers who were processed at Castle Garden. There is only an index available for the years 1820-1846 in Series M261 consisting of 103 films. --Index to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at New York, NY, 1820--1846. M261. 103 rolls The next index for PORT of New York begins June 16, 1897 on Series T519 in 115 rolls. Thus there is a gap in INDEXES from 1846 to June 1897. There is no gap for the **actual passenger arrival records** -- all one needs is the date of arrival and ship name to get the right microfilm and view it.

Kris, I don't know about this index. However have you checked Ellis Island records? Although Michal's immigration predates the opening of Ellis Island often times we can get an idea of the area of origin for a surname or even find others who were arriving with a previous immigrant as a destination. There is an Antoni WRANIC age 24 arr 1910 whose destination is to bro Michal in "Labrache" Mich. he was listed as coming from Domaraza (manifest actually shows Domaradz), Glaicia wife was Katarzyna Race was Polish. http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/EIDB/ellis.html It appears that many WRANIC were coming from Domardz, which may be one of 2 places that were located in old Galicia, now Poland. There is a third place by this name however it was in Prussia in the 1890s. The LDS FHL has microfilm records for civil registration for Domardz but it is the one that was in Prussia. 154.8 miles SSE of Warsaw or 175.2 miles SSE of Warsaw http://feefhs.org/maps/ah/ah-galic.html Also a web page of interest may be: http://www.polishroots.com/ Robert Jerin Croatian Heritage Museum Cleveland Ohio http://www.croatia-in-english.com/rj/index.html "Kris" <krisa02@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:682ea889.0306161732.7e14d819@posting.google.com... > I found on Ancestry.com that my great grandfather Michael Wanic > appears in the "Index 1890/91 New York Immigrants from Austria, Poland > and Galicia" (he arrived on the Spaarndam on Aug. 14, 1890).

I'm wondering if the Index may be another dead end. >> It's an **index** -- what information do you expect to find beyond what you've gained already? Since you now have the date and ship name of his immigrant arrival (at the Port of New York presumably), what you have is access to the information contained in his immigrant passenger arrival record -- information that is, that was recorded on the 1890 version of this. These arrival records are all on microfilm (since 1940s by NARA) and can be rented and viewed at any local Family History Library of the LDS, or at a NARA regional office which has a copy of the microfilm, and at various historical and genealogy libraries. If the index is on Ancestry.com. why is it necessary to view it 'in person' at the Waltham archive? OR, is it a microfilm of the actual *ARRIVAL record* that is at this archive, and not just the index? do a web search with any search engine to find some of the many many sites that will tell you what information is contained in *immigrant passenger arrival records* (also known as manifests, or immigration papers for this timeframe) to determine if getting the one you've identified for your relative will provide you with additional needed information or call that Archive (once you've determined if they have microfilm of actual records), and ask one of their researchers who is familiar with 1890 immigrant passenger arrival records what information the manifest form contains for that time period (they became more detailed as time went on) The great thing is that you found him on an INDEX for New York for this timeframe, as NARA has never prepared an index of the arrival records at the Port of New York for the years 1846-1897. The **actual** arrival records ARE microfilmed and viewable, -- there just isn't any comprehensive name index to find the date and ship of arrival. Since you have that critical data, you can access the actual arrival record. to learn about NARA microfilms of passenger arrival records, and to determine the microfilm number which contains the manifests for ships arriving on Aug 14, 1890 see http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/immigration/immigrat.html and follow the links for New York for the appropriate years -- you should end up at Roll # 553. to rent a copy and view it at a local LDS FHL, use the online Family History Library catalogue, or visit a local FHL to determine the correct LDS film number to order/rent http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp Other suggestions for locating information (which you may have already pursued of course) -- assuming you're trying to determine a village in Europe. look for a second arrival -- many immigrants went back and forth in this timeframe -- (there are two Wanic in online Ellis Island arrivals for example - use alternate spellings as well) get copy of his marriage record if in USA -- these often list place of birth get his obit, and death certificate -- sometimes list place of birth if known by person providing the information check for naturalization papers (citizenship) and obtain copies find the family in all relevant USA censuses (1920 MAY provide a town name) determine siblings and trace information (the SS#5 will list their common parents, if your GGF was too old to have enrolled in social security ~1933 -- get his if not) obtain probate records for his estate upon death The details (copies) of all of the above will not be found on the internet, or at ancestry.com (except census).

Hi, Inaloff (Inalov) has been renamed and is known nowadays as Karagach (and Karagachevo) This is probably the reason that town is difficult to find. Town is located at 4348 4347 in Kabardino-Balkharskaya Autonomous Republic within the Russian Federation. For an orientation: It is approx. 25 miles NNE from Nalchik or some 12 miles WNW from Prokhladnyy. Hope, this help. -- Alexander
