I've been compiling a family history book to pass down to my kids someday and have found some wonderful info on my italian relatives such as when they came to America, date, year, name of the ship they traveled on...once I had that I googled the ship name and was able to find facts and photos of the ships, etc.... Here are the resources that I used:
www.archives.gov National Archives Branch in Waltham (you can find it online)
www.ancestry.com (all government records from manifests, to War registration cards, marriage, deaths, births
www.ellisiland.org (ship manifests\imigration info)
If anyone needs help or has questions please feel free to email me
Ciao Tutti!
