Foreword
About 90 percent of the Italians who emigrated to the United States
came to New York, with the major arrivals beginning in about 1880.
Until then, comparatively few Italians migrated to America. However,
with the development of faster steamships to replace sailing vessels and
thereby shorten transoceanic voyages, and with Ellis Island opening in
1892 to facilitate the arrival of more immigrants, this situation changed,
and increased numbers of Italians began leaving their homeland. This
series of Italians to America will concentrate on the period from 1880 to
1899, with the first volumes listing those Italians who arrived in New
York and later volumes including other U.S. ports.
The original passenger lists, transcribed by shipping agents and
ships' officers and filed by all vessels entering U.S. ports, have been
used in the preparation of Italians to America, Although .almost all
Italians departed from ports in theirown country, this study also includes
Italian departures from other foreign ports. Presented in chronological
order by each ship's date of arrival, these passenger lists provide the
names of ships, ports of departure and arrival, and debarkation dates.
The researcher also can locate data regarding A person's age, sex, and
occupation as well as village of origin and destination when available.
An important feature of Italians to America is the extensive Italiansurname
index of ships' passengers included in each volume. These
indexes, containing approximately 750,000 names for the 1880-1899
period, will greatly facilitate the task of finding an ancestor's family
name, especially when the exact date or port of arrival in the United
States is unknown.
In addition to the passenger lists and name indexes, Italians to
America includes an introduction to the history of the Italian migratory
movement to the United States, with statistical data showing the total
Italian emigration to other selected countries, such as to Europe, Brazil,
and Canada. This series is an invaluable reference work for anyone
interested in genealogical research or in studying family history.
