Ellis Island's Webpage

Ellis Island

I need your help! Check out this webpage I found. It has document images of passenger lists that you can view for free! Just register and it's free to view them. I typed in the last name 'Tremonte" and found 42 names and almost all of them are from San Marco. I don't know who they are but I'd guess they are related some how. Check them out and if you know how some of them may be related to us please let me know.

Here's the webpage: www.ellisisland.org. When you go there it will ask you to sign in and then once you do you can see the records for free.


Here are some things that I found (click on the links to go to the records). If you know how they are related let me know:

• Angelantonia Palumbo Albanese (b: 1873) record of her coming from San Marco dei Cavoti and going to her husband Angelantonio Albenese at 725 St, Allentown, PA. Angelantonia is the sister to Diodoro Palumbo the father of Adolorata (Dolores) Tremonte. Her children Barbara Albanese (b: 1899) and Pasquale Albanese (b: 1905) also traveled with her. This is definitely a family member, and I know how they are related to us.
  
• This is a record of a Diodoro Palumbo and a Antonio Tremonte both going to 725....St, Allentown PA, both from San Marco. They are going to Diodoro's brother Giuseppe Palumbo, who is also Antonio Tremonte's uncle. I have no idea how Diodoro, Antonio, or Giuseppe are related to the family, but they must be because they are going to the same address as Angelantonia Palumbo Albanese (mentioned above).
• Lots of names from San Marco on this record: Borrillo, Assini, Cocca. Some people are also going to Allentown, PA.
• This is another record that have a lot of names from S. Marco.

Here are some tips for researching these type of documents:

• When looking at a document of someone also look at the other people on the list for names that might be in the family.
• Look at the list of where the people are from on the whole form. There are usually other people who are from San Marco on the same form.
• Look at the address of where they are going and compare with other people next to them, sometimes they go to the same place as others.
• On this website when I refined the search and typed in the city San Marco dei Cavoti I got an error message. I finally discovered that putting just 'Marco' in and changing it to 'contains' would work.
• Click on the ship manifest 'view' to see the documents.
• The documents often have 2 pages. And on this website they are not in order, so click the preview and next button to find the second or first page. The first page should start out with the names.
  

Here are some of the names in the family that I search. The numbers next to the names are the number of people I found with that last name. Click on the name and view the list of names. To see the documents click on the ship manifest 'view'. If you know how they are related please let me know. Have fun searching!
