If you can't upload the image, then you should at least tell us the name and date of the ship. I found more than one person with the name of your ancestor appearing on line 23 of their manifests and had no way of knowing which one was yours.

Hello Lisa! :-)

Could this be the manifest?
January 24, 1912 on the Sant Anna?

If so, then here is the information across the line...

Filomena Napolitano, 19, female, single, dressmaker.
Place of birth Comiziano (in Province of Napoli)
Leaving mother Concetta Napolitano in Comiziano
Going to her Aunt Maria Angela xxxx Caputo in Newark, NY (or NJ)

sorry that the image did not show up. Arival date of the ship was Jan 31 1907, name of the ship is Konigin Luise. She is listed on Line 23. Hope this info will help finding the passenger list so someone can help me!

I also couldn't find the ship and date. Was this an Ellis Island arrival?
