Immigration records for Argentina

Post by Squigy »

Hi, all. I recently found out my GX3 grandfather, Andrea D'Andrea, spent some time in Argentina in the fruit business before he came to the U.S.

Is there anyway I can find immigration records for him?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
The following is a website which has a data base of passengers that went to Argentina:
Centro de Estudios Migratorios Latino Americanos by Luigi Favero

http://213.121.128.168/radici/ie/defaultie.htm

I found my great grandmother on the list but the website doesnt always work Im not sure why.
All the best.
My family are from Sicily: Fiumefreddo, Ficarra, Giampilieri, Cumia, Messina and Carmela Zagami,Argentina.

DId you find what you are looking for?
I'm argentinian, maybe I can help you. You can try to look in the CEMLA website, and also here: http://sites.google.com/site/barcosdeagnelli/Listado

There you have passenger lists between 1820-1920, in excel format.

Bye byee!! Good luck! If you need translate, let me know

Thanks for the links (sorry I took so long to reply).

My computer got a virus, so I have to use my Wii's Internet and, unfortunately, it says it doesn't support the file type in your link. But I'll try again as soon as I get a new computer.

Don't worry Squigy!
Could you find what you were looking for? Do you need any help? Let me know! If you don't understand spanish, remember I do =)

One thing you might don't know: Some ships from Italy didn't go directly to Buenos Aires harbor, they went to Montevideo one (in Uruguay), and then the immigrants came here to Argentina by land. Sadly, there are almost no databases about those who came to Montevideo.

Bye bye, and good luck!
