You can view copies of the original manifests from the voyages of the Garlasco family.  A ship manifest is available for almost all members of the Garlasco family, and many have multiple manifests available.  Each time a person would enter Ellis Island, there was a written record, and some family members traveled back and forth between Italy and the U.S. as they went to Italy to get other family members.

Viewing the manifests gives you a real appreciation for the scope of the migration.  Many of the people list their hometown as Fubine, the origin of the Garlasco family.  And among those names are the names of other families that would eventually marry into the Garlasco family, names like Longo, Robotti, Samarotto, and others.  Most sailed from Le Havre, France, including the Rodeschini family from which my Grandmother came.  But no matter where they departed from, they all came to New York City.

Not all records are entry from Italy.  Albino made several voyages to Cuba during his years as a race car driver for Cadillac, and he brought his wife with him and even had a daughter born in Cuba.

The manifests are large graphic files in the .gif format.  You can view them in your web browser, but I recommend that you save them to your hard drive, open them in an image editor, and print them.  They are very large so that you can see all of the detail.  The data in the manifests vary, but most include the name, age, sex, and origin.  The early manifests are all hand-written, but later they are typed.  I hope you will enjoy seeing this part of our family's history.

*Please note: The manifests were written by clerks in the 1920s as the passengers gave their names verbally.  This resulted in numerous spelling errors that require some interpretation.  There are a number of times people are called GARLASKO or some other form of the name.

*Please note: An asterisk between the name and age represents an unknown Garlasco.  Please let me know if you have any information about this person.  All names in ITALICS are know family of Battista Garlasco and Maddalena Robboti.
