Introduction
Italians to America provides both the genealogist and the historian
with an extensive data base of Italian immigrants who came to the
United States between 1880 and 1915. This data base derives from the
original ship manifest schedules, currently housed at the Temple-Balch
Institute's Center for Immigration Research in Philadelphia, These
schedules were filed by all vessels entering U.S. ports in accordance
with the act of Congress of 1819. Although this series of Italians to
America includes only the years from 1880 to 1899, Scholarly Resources
plans to publish additional volumes for the 1900-15 period.
The passenger lists reproduced in these volumes are arranged in
chronological order by date of arrival. Italian passengers on these lists
who disembarked at New York are published in their entirety; the names
of non-Italian passengers are deleted.
According to the act of 1819, lists of all passengers were to be
delivered upon arrival to the local collector of customs, who made
copies that were then transmitted to the secretary of state and subsequently
reported to Congress.' The secretary of state also published
quarterly and annual summaries under the title of Statement of the
Number and Description of Passengers Arriving in the United States
between 1820 and 1870. These reports were later published by the
Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department from 1867 to 1895 and
by the Office of Immigration, now the Immigration and Naturalization
Service, after 1895.
The passenger lists make possible a detailed reconstruction of the
movement of population from the major sender countries, in the present
case Italy, by including information on the age, sex, occupation, and
nationality of each passenger and residence and putative destination.
Analysis of this information enables the researcher to identify U.S.
citizens returning to their country of origin, persons transitting the
United States, and immigrants. The manifests record deaths during the
voyage, although information on mortality is not reproduced in these
volumes. The lists herein also indicate the name of the ship, the port of
embarkation, and the date of arrival in the U.S. port.
Although the manifests provide significant information about nineteenth-
century immigration, we know relatively little about the actual
compilation of these lists. Available evidence suggests that the lists
were compiled first by shipping agents at the port of embarkation and
initially contained the names of all prepaid passengers; the names of
additional passengers were added on board, after which clerks copied
the lists before depositing them with U.S. authorities at the port of
debarkation.
