Oli,

I was kind of fortunate cause so many Italians arrived via Ellis Island and I think it's probably the most popular. Although wasn't Boston another popular port of arrival for immigrants? Also, my older brother wrote down, kept track of a lot of info my grandmothers gave to him which helped, having exact years and names, etc.

Btw, regarding those manifests, SOME are hand written which makes it even more authentic. Also, FYI, for some reason both my grandmothers were listed under their maiden name. confused

Thanks Getts, both my parents since are deceased and I now have the memory book I gave them. I treasure it.
