Yes it is.
Thank you for reminding me about the ship records that are kept in New York.
How would I go about getting information about his parents?

Anthony,
NOVI LIGURE is located in Alessandria. Microfilms are available with church records and state cival records for birth, marriage and death. The Later day saints maintain these microfilms and you can order them there.
You can see what they have for Alessandria here: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library ... umns=*,0,0
There locations are here:http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library ... et_fhc.asp
Hope this helps.

You could always write away for his death certificate and if it was filled out correctly, it should contain his parents names. I'm providing a link..not sure if you can view it.
