Passport for great-great grandfather

Hello

I am looking for a passport photo or any photo of my great-grandfather, Giuseppe Campagna, born on February 20, 1889, in Casamassima, Bari, Italy. He left Naples Italy on May 11, 1910, on the ship Madonna, and arrived in New York on April 9, 1907.

Thank you.

  • Until about 1918 no documents were required to enter the U.S. So you are not asking for a U.S. Passport, right?   If you are interested in more of his family history.... then .... As to his voyage.... you show him leaving in 1910 and arriving (backwards in time) in 1907.  Please clarify.  Do you have his ship manifest?  His naturalization papers if he applied?  What documents do you have for the ship, and voyage dates?  Since you have him under 11 years of age on arrival, what were his parents names or parent he came with,  and other people who came with him? 

  • Hello,

    I am sorry for the confusion. Here is the correct information I have on my great-grandfather, Giuseppe Campagna. I would love to have photos of him. I've tried on my own but cannot locate any. I tried looking in C-files but couldn't find him. At some point, when Giuseppe arrived in the United States, he changed his name to Joseph White. He did live for some time in Hagerstown, Maryland. Any photos you could find would mean so much to me.

    Thank you,

    Deanette Haag
