Immigration from Calabria to Pennsylvania

Post by M_Trip »

Great Grandfather lived in City of Monteleonie di Calabria. He immigrated approximately 1915. What city would people from that region get on a ship and travel to the us? He settled in Borough of Braddock/North Braddock in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

What would be a good way to research for the ship, manifest and immigration process/paperwork?

Thanks in advance.

My great-grandparents came from Isca sullo Ionio in Calabria via the departure port of Naples and then entry was New York Ellis Island. Odds are the same applies for you, but other ports are possible.
