    3. In the past I have found that seeking the same immigration record from NARA sometimes results in a better microfilm image. Anybody know where else such might be found? ...The NARA keeps the original records and it does not offer a search page. ... www.epinions.com/content_19030773380 - 39k - Cached - Similar pages and try http://www.immigration-records.com/immigrationrecords.asp Genealogy without documentation is nothing.

I believe I found one of my ancestors but I cannot read the manifest/writing is faded away totally almost. Would that have been the only place with information on their voyage does anyone know?

    3. FYI, from 1830 until 1892 (when Ellis Island opened), Castle Garden in New York was the first offiicial immigration center. The have an excellent, searchable website http://www.castlegarden.org/ with immigration records including ships manifests that span from 1820 to 1913. I have found several relatives there and highly recommend it. kathy
