Italian Genealogy

Ellis Island. Did your family enter the US through Ellis Island? If so, the search function at this site might locate for you the ship manifest, which can provide valuable clues and information.

Manifest Markings Home. If you've retrieved manifests from the Ellis Island site and you've been mystified by some cryptic markings, this site can explain them. The link is to JewishGen, but the article is applicable to anyone doing research on ship manifests.

Castle Garden. If you have family that arrived in New York before Ellis Island opened in 1890, they probably entered through Castle Garden. The search isn't as comprehensive as for Ellis Island, but can still provide clues.
