You can view the manifests at www.ellisisland.org

It's a free site, but you have to register.

Per the above census records, you have two immigration dates, but even those can be off. Naturalization record should provide the correct information.

Since I had this website opened, I looked up naturalization info for Sebastiano GRASSO, Eastern District, New York. Since we don't know if & when he was naturalization, you may or may not need this.
