Is there an index of names of Italians who came to America on ships?
There is a new series that many of you may be interested in containing passenger list information on Italian immigrants. I am forwarding a press release for the series. ITALIANS TO AMERICA, 1880-1889 • Edited by Ira A. Glazier and P. William Filby • series ISBN 0-8420-2465-4 Italians to America is the first indexed work devoted to Italian immigrants to the United States. This new series, expected to include 12 volumes, contains passenger list information on the first major wave of Italian immigration, during the last two decades of the nineteenth century. As with the highly regarded companion series on German immigrants, Italians to America presents the passenger lists in chronological order, including information on each person’s age, sex, occupation, village of origin, and destination [where available on the original list-DEZ]. Each volume will also contain an introduction on the history of Italian immigration with a full name index, which will greatly simplify the researcher’s job.
