Castle Garden

I received an e-mail this morning from Family Tree Magazine that gave me a link to an article about Castle Garden.  I loved the photo of Castle Garden and wanted to save it for future perusal.  Below is the photo and the link:

Before Ellis Island even opened its doors, immigrants arriving in New York City passed through Castle Garden. Now known as Castle Clinton National Monument and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Castle Garden served as the primary gateway for over 8.5 million newcomers between 1855 and 1890.

I have been working on my Hornberger Family a bit this past month and I quickly checked to see when my 2-gr-grandmother and 1-gr-grandfather arrived from Alsace Lorraine.  And the date fell within the dates for Castle Garden.  Barbe Hornberger Unger and her son, Frederic Hornberger, as well as Barbe's second husband, George Unger are said to have arrived about 1880 in Fred's naturalization papers (which I have).

The article is excellent with lots of information to follow up on.  My summer is too busy to spend the hours on this project that I would like to spend....but perhaps this winter?
