boat laborers

[ally]

I am trying to find out alittle about my grandfather's brother Salvatore Santacaterina. I hip the ellis site and notice there are numerous Salvatores listed as employees of various boats. I do not know the boats name on which he worked other then his name and occupation I have little to go on. Is there anyway of finding out which Salvatore would be his brother? I know he was in his 30's around 1922/24 or so. They came from Schio and never traveled to USA to stay with my grandfather or his sister.

thanks,
ally
