Castle Garden Immigration
by Tammy Beauchamp
Did your immigrant ancestors land at Castle Garden, New York? It was our country’s first official immigration station. More than 8 million people passed through Castle Garden as they entered the US, especially from Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Eastern Europe. Knowing when and where your ancestors arrived can help you find the record of their trip.
Tammy Beauchamp is a retired Charlotte County school teacher who enjoys researching genealogy.
