A search revealed over 106 people with the name Antonio Palmieri. Antonio often spoke of coming through Ellis Island. It was a difficult passage, he said.

If you click on the name you will be brought to a page that may have a scan of the ships manifest (passenger list), the age at the time of entry, and the details about the ship they arrived on. Not every entry has an available manifest. Some of the records may be unavailable.
