Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
  the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
  in the transcriber's notes.

? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
  condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

Genva was written, Genoa is probably correct.

There is a large Chevron sign next to the PORT OF NEW YORK that says:
 R.J. Godwin, Custom House BROKER and Notary Public No.18 Pine St., New York.

 7  Mathew S?dallette - Missing letter could be an "r"    


Correspondence 9/20/00

Genoa is probably correct. Genova is the right word: the Italian for Genoa.
Some names are probably misrepresented by the person writing the document: 
John, Rose, Mary, Mathew are probably Giovanni, Rosa, Maria, Matteo.
The name Angilla (it doesn't exist in Italian) is probably Ancilla.
The same thing probably happened to surname Lbarbaro that can't exist in 
Italian because of the spelling; the correct is very probably Lobarbaro.
The last thing is your note: "S?dallette Missing letter could be an "r""
It can't be, in Italian the missing letter must be a vowel, maybe an "i"; 
also the last letter is strange: a surname such "Sidalletto" or "Sidalletta" 
can be Italian, but the "e" in the end is very improbable.

I hope to have been of some help for you and for the people who search their
ancestors on those records.  Arnaldo Borsa.
