A good (but rambling) discussion cropped up on
soc.genealogy.computing – a usenet group devoted to computers and genealogy (usenet is not moderated, so you might see some harsh language).

CastleGarden.org launched today. Castle Garden was America’s first immigration center, operating between 1830 and 1892 (when Ellis Island opened up).
