Seeking passenger list of Raffaello ship

Dear Ms. Santoro,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located 1 series titled Passenger Manifests of Airplanes Arriving at, or Departing from, New York, New York, 5/1/1959-11/7/1969 in the Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Record Group 85). The records are not yet digitized and available in the Catalog. For access to and/or copies, please contact the National Archives at Washington - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov and provide as much specific information about Virgilio Santoro and his family’s arrival (location, date, vessel, passenger names) as possible.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!

Passenger lists are important records to document immigrant arrivals prior to 1924, and all arrivals to ca. 1947.  But late 20th century immigrants (all who arrived after 1956) are documented in A-Files.  Your older relatives A-files may have transferred to the National Archives (see A-Files). 

If not, they remain with the younger members' A-files at USCIS.  You can request a copy of your own file from USCIS under the Privacy Act.
