Does anyone know if the Castle Garden website for passenger lists has closed down? For the last 4 days I've been trying to search the passenger lists, and it just keeps coming up with a screen full of gobbly gook like this:-

; /p_first_name LIKE 'nly last name. $sql_name_w = " p_last_name LIKE '$_GET[p_last_name]' AND "; } else { // Neither first nor last names. $sql_name_w = ""; } $_GET[m_ship] = str_replace("*","%",$_GET[m_ship]); if ( !empty($_GET[m_ship]) ){ $sql_sr

This is the URL I've been using - http://www.castlegarden.org/

I emailed the site yesterday, and I haven't had a reply yet.

Oh that is a shame, I'm getting the same gobbledegook when I do a search. Was a very informative website.

Thanks ErikaH, but I've been using that for the searching and its that site that is not working.

It is a shame alviegal, as it was a very useful site. Just hope that its a glitch and they get it up and running again soon.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

I'd never heard of it, but I've just tried your link and it came up with no problem.

Andysmum, I can get in the site ok, but when you go to search, and enter information, it doesn't work.

Anyway, all is well, thanks to ArgyllGran telling me that the passenger lists are on Ancestry. I've just been on Ancestry and found who I am looking for!
So I am a happy bunny now! :-D
