I am looking for this information as I have not been able to find when my grandfather, a young child, came to the US, with his mother and siblings.

New Orleans passenger arrivals are available on Ancestry.com, Ancestryinstitution.com [free at all Family History Centers and many public libraries], and Louisiana, New Orleans Passenger Lists, 1820-1945
What is the date/month you are looking for. There are 318 ships arrivals in 1898 to New Orleans but the table doesn't show the port. What names are you looking for?? stevemorse.org/.../boat.php
Thanks so much. I just checked the New Orleans Passenger Lists (Family Search, which I started to use to trace information) and I will work my way through! Interesting.
Thanks for responding. I have a copy of the document citing my great grandfather's arrival to NO from Palermo (1890) but I am looking for my great grandmother's document. She arrived with their young children a few years later, likely in 1895 (or 1898, according to census records, which I know can be misleading). I'll keep searching.
I've noticed that 1898, not a lot of Italian names, so my guess is that 1895 is more accurate. I believe the biggest wave of Sicilians going to New Orleans was in the early 1890's. Thanks again for your help!
I didn't respond to your question, I realize. The name is Jennie (?) Fucarino or Fucarina. Married name is Trentacosta. My understanding is that the spelling of the last name on the Manifest list is probably the correct one. My grandfather, her son, is Antonio Trentacosta, who would have been about six or eight years old at the time of the crossing from Palermo to New Orleans. Thanks if you can help. I'll continue searching.
Giovanna di Michele Fucorino, 30, her daughter Maria di Dominco Trentacoste, 10, and her son Antonio Trentacoste, 8, arrived at the port of New York on 17 Mar 1898 on the SS Spartan Prince. Their destination was New Orleans, where her husband and their father Dominco Trentacoste resided. https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/records?recordId=4004951948&collectionId=7488&tid=&pid=&queryId=6d4f4195-ffd8-4216-8885-1cd737e3bdf9&_phsrc=oLq24514&_phstart=successSource
Thank you so much, Susannah! This is wonderful that you could locate it. This is just what I wanted to know. We have had questions about the particular comune they were from and where they landed. Again, thanks. (I used to subscribe to Ancestry.com years ago and then stopped and decided to use Family Search which has some limitations. I may re-subscribe.)
