CastleGarden vs. Ancestry.com - New York Passenger Lists, 1851-1891

Ancestry.com - New York Passenger Lists, 1851-1891: "New York Passenger Lists, 1851-1891"

Apparently, the passenger lists at Ancestry.com do not include the CastleGarden records found at www. castlegarden.com. Tried searching for 3 people on Ancestry who I found at CastleGarden and could not find them at Ancestry. Too bad since Ancestry has the digital images of their records and CastleGarden does not.
