Genealogical Inquiries

Hi,

So, several questions:

1. My great great grand father (Johannes Igantz Umscheid) arrived in NYC on 13 June 1843 from Bremen, Germany. The question is, did he go through some immigration station like Castle Garden and Ellis Island because neither of them were operational at the time?

2. Does anyone know anything about the people who lived where Central Park was built? I am told Johannes lived there before being kicked out to make the park.

Thanks in advance...
