Dear Bill Hinkle, I don't rely on the Castle Garden website for information, basically because I ran into the same dilemma as you have, consistently. They are supposed to be a free website, and seek donations, but that's no excuse for incorrect or absent information. May I suggest that your try http://stevemorse.org/ first. The Ellis Island information is right at the top of Steve's page. I think you'll have more success here.
