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.

St Louis Post Dispatch St. Louis, MO February 19, 1887 SURNAMES: BYRD "An Unfortunate Girl. Startling Revelations in a Criminal Trial at White Plains, N.Y." New York, February 19. A pale-faced girl on crutches was assisted into the Westchester County Court at White Plains yesterday by two policemen, who had been sent to bring her from the County Almshouse. The girl and everybody else supposed that she was the daughter of W. A. BYRD, a prosperous upholsterer of Mount Vernon, who was on trial on a charge of the unnatural offense of criminally assaulting his own child. When placed on the witness stand the child burst into tears and between her sobs told a sad story of her experience in the BYRD family's home. Her physical anguish was intense and, combined with her evident mental distress, served to gain for her deep sympathy of judge, jury, counsel and spectators. Between her sobs, she stated that her name was Charlotte BYRD, and that she was paralyzed in her lower limbs as a result of giving birth to a child three months ago. She deposed that she was the daughter of the defendant, and that during the early part of last year he forced an entrance into her bed room and had assaulted her. The offense, she said, was repeated at intervals for several months, until it became evident that she was about to become a mother and then Mr. BYRD sent her to the Whetmore Hospital in New York City, where her child was born. When she partially recovered she was removed home. Sent to the Almshouse "But my parents would not let me into the house and I had to go to the alms-house," continued the girl with another burst of tears. Miss BYRD, during her sad story, repeatedly cast appealing glances at her supposed parents, who sat side by side near her. Her narrative was so sad and her despair so evident that several of the spectators were moved to tears. BYRD then took the stand and caused a sensation when he was asked if he was the father of Miss BYRD. "No, I'm not," he replied, looking steadily at the crippled girl, whose face turned ghastly pale, while her eyes opened with astonishment. When the hum of excitement had died away BYRD proceeded to explain that the young woman was only an adopted child. He swore in positive terms that he had not assaulted her. Before the so-called Miss BYRD had recovered from the stupor of despair into which she was thrown, Mrs. BYRD, wife of the upholsterer, took the stand and proceeded to support her husband's statement. She swore most positively that she had never had a child and that she adopted the girl fourteen years ago. At the time Charlotte changed parents there were no questions asked, and Mrs. BYRD did not know the child's real name or any particulars of her birth. She said she was sure that her husband had not assaulted Charlotte. Evidence was introduced to show that Mr. BYRD bore an excellent character, and the jury, after an absence of a few minutes came into court with a verdict of not guilty. The unfortunate girl, who was almost insensible through grief and physical anguish, was carried from the room to the wagon which was waiting for her to take her back to the Poor-house. It is not believed that she will live long.

Washington Herald published in Washington, D. C., USA June 24, 1907 Page 3 SURNAMES:ROSENHEIM[ER], WISENDANGER, MURRAY, SCOTT MURDER CLEW FOUND Man Identifies Crook Seen Near ROSENHEIM[ER] Home EARLY ARREST IS EXPECTED Coroner Interviews Contractor Who Is Said to Have Had Talk with Former Convict Before Murder Was Committed - MURRAY Denies the Statements Attributed to Him. Mount Vernon, N. Y., June 23 - An important clew, which may result in the capture of the men who murdered and robbed ROSENHEIMER, the wealthy needle manufacturer, in his garden at Pelham on last Tuesday night, was placed in the hands of Coroner WISENDANGER to-night. The clew was brought to the coroner by a man, who hopes to get a share of the $5,500 reward offered by the ROSENHEIMER family and the village of Pelham. This man says that less than an hour after the needle merchant was robbed he met a man whom he recognized as a professional crook, and whose picture is in the rogues’ gallery in New York passing along Third avenue. The man appeared to be in a great hurry and had his hat pulled well down over his face. His description in every way answers the description given by Benjamin SCOTT, the Pelham ice man, of one of the highwaymen who held him up and tried to rob him just a few minutes previous to the time that the merchant was struck down in his garden. Coroner WEISENDANGER would not say anything to-night about the matter, but it is known that he has already set to work to trace the movements of the man under suspicion on the night of the crime. The man’s name is known, and there is a strong probability that an arrest will follow the investigation now being made. Coroner WEISENDANGER this morning had a talk with Joseph MURRAY, the Wakefield contractor to whom was credited the story that he had met an ex-convict the night before the murder who had confided to him that he was on his way to Pelham to “do” a rich man who was in the habit of carrying a large roll of money, and who walked in his gardens at night. MURRAY denied vigorously that he had ever given out such a statement. He said that he could not account for its appearance in the papers.

Not too long ago, I searched the Castle Garden website to find when my Irish ancestors arrived.  I was able to find my Thomas Lyons age 9, who settled in Ossining NY, arriving on the ship "City of Cork" in 1865.  I listed all the Lyons' arriving on that ship to see who his relatives might be. I tried Castle Garden again to replicate the original information and to see if I might have missed something. Now when I enter the information, I get a message that the search request returned no results.  I even tried listing the name of the ship, the year, etc. etc.  No luck at all.  I do get a lot of information regarding how people can donate to Castle Garden. Have any of you had this problem lately?  If Castle Garden has changed anything, a lot of genealogists are going to be in trouble.  If this is true, how have any of you gotten around this glitch?  Are you able to see everybody arriving on any given ship? Thanks for your help. Bill Hinkle Port Orange, Florida

The Huntsville Daily Times, Huntsville, AL February 4,1911 Page 1, Column 6 SURNAME: JANE JANE Sorry He Missed Burglars --------------------- Special to The Daily Times Yonkers, N. Y., Feb. 4 – The one regret of Rear Admiral Jas. J. JANE, United States navy, retired, is that he was not at home when burglars tried to effect an entrance. Within two weeks no less than three attempts have been made to break into his bachelor apartments. Two efforts were frustrated because of the efficiency of a peculiarly constructed lock, brought from Paris, and third attempt make yesterday, failed because of the barking of a watchdog. When he returned from a trip into New York he found the marks of a jimmy on the door. He has notified the police, but says he would rather meet the would-be burglars face to face. He has a small arsenal in his house, comprising old navy swords and revolvers, and declares he is aching for a chance at the burglars.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Fort Worth, TX November 4, 1921 SURNAMES:KARLIN, MORSCHAUSER, GAUL "Society Woman Refuses Aid to Pauper Parents" White Plains, N. Y, Nov. 4.--Mrs. Amelia KARLIN motored to White Plains courthouse in her imported car and induced Supreme Court Justice MORSCHAUSER to allow her to reopen the case in connection with an order requiring her to show cause why she should not furnish $40 a month for the support of her parents, both over 80, and about to become public charges. The order was returnable Oct. 11 and Mrs. KARLIN, who resides in a fashionable apartment house at 434 Central Park West, Manhattan, failed to appear. Mrs. KARLIN yesterday denied the statement of Commissioner of Charities GAUL of Yonkers that she has an allowance of $200 a week for household expenses, and said she couldn't afford to give $40 a month to aid her parents. "If this woman can come to court in a Rolls-Royce car," said Justice MORSCHAUSER, "we shall get support for her parents out of her." He set the date of the hearing for Nov. 14.

NOTES: Ossining, New York was originally named SIng SIng, after the Sinct Indians. Once the infamous prison was referred to as SIng Sing, residents sought a name change for their town.

The New York Herald published in: New York, NY August 27, 1856 Page 8, Column 3 SURNAMES: SWORDS "Attempted Highway Robbery Near Tarrytown - Daring and Ingenious Attack on the Carriage of Mr. SWORDS of New York" On Monday evening last the coachman of Mr. SWORDS, publisher of this city, took the carriage of his employer and proceeded with it from his country residence near Tarrytown towards the railroad depot. When he arrived opposite to BEEKMAN's wood, two men suddenly rushed from an ambush near by, one of whom immediately struck one of the horses such a blow with a heavy wooden rail that the animal soon afterwards fell between the attacking party and the carriage. Both horses then took fright, separated themselves from the vehicle, and ran away. The second highwayman then seized the handle of the carriage door and opened it, but finding no person inside permitted the driver to make his escape. The coachman ran to the house of Mr. SWORDS, and informed that gentleman of what had occurred. Mr. SWORDS immediately roused up his men and summoned his neighbors to his aid, when a party of ten or a dozen persons was soon formed. They proceeded to the spot and approaching the carriage cautiously from different points, they could see that the robbers were not disturbed, as one of them had his head protruded from one of the side windows, as if watching around. The vigilance party pounced on him, when he fell down in the carriage and pretended to be asleep. He was, however, arrested, and on being questioned, told many contradictory stories as to his residence, business, &c. &c. He was identified by Mr. SWORDS' driver as the fellow who struck the horse with the rail, and it is supposed that his reason for permitting the coachman to go home sprung from the hope that the man and Mr. SWORDS would only come back to look for the carriage, when the confederate robbers could fall on them and perhaps murder them. He is now, however, secure. Gangs of very ugly looking loafers have commenced to ingest the roads near Tarrytown, and travelers should keep a sharp lookout for them.
