United States of America / Change: Castle Garden Database
« on: Thursday 16 January 20 17:38 GMT (UK) »
As of January 2020:
It appears that Castle Garden is now being called Castle Clinton. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Clinton
Many genealogy websites do not yet give the Castle Clinton name currently used for Castle Garden, so the change may have been relatively recent.
It seems the Castle Garden ship manifests database has been subsumed by the Ellis Island database. See: https://www.libertyellisfoundation.org/expanded-passenger-records-release
This is the link to the Ellis Island Immigration Records, 1820-1957 Search page: https://www.libertyellisfoundation.org/passenger
I discovered this when a friend to whom I had given links to Castle Garden information could no longer make the links.
Best wishes to all.
