Hmmm. There is a website that's been around for a good 20 years that focuses on Italian immigrants through NYC. Will try to find it for you. May take a bit - most of my genealogy stuff got scanned so that I could bring it over on flash drives rather than in multiple storage boxes.... You may be able to find it off of Cyndi's list, if that still exists.
