Italians to America is the first indexed reference work devoted to Italian immigrants to the United States. This series contains passenger list information in chronological order on the first major wave of Italian migration during the last two decades of the 19th century, as well as the beginning of the 20th 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, plus the name of the ship, the port of embarkation, and the date of arrival.
Each volume also contains an introduction on the history of Italian migration to the U.S. and a full name index, greatly simplifying the researcher's job.
Ira Glazier, who passed away in May of 2011, is the former Director of The Center for Migration Research at The Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies and Immigration, and the former director of castlegarden.org for The Battery Conservancy in New York.
