Mother's emigration.

Over 25 million Italians have emigrated between 1861 and 1960 with a migration boom between 1871 and 1915 when over 13,5 million emigrants left the country for European and overseas destinations.

Mother's emigration.

Post by ajtwc »

I am looking for the manifest for the Rex which sailed from Naples in February 1940, arriving in New York on February 15, 1940. I believe this was the ship on which my mother, Amelia Martino, emigrated, along with her mother, Florinda and sister, Pauline. Can you help? Thank you.
