Seasons Greetings from a windy, wet and cold Blackpool, England! I wonder if anyone on the list can help me. I'm trying to find passenger record and hopefully naturalisation papers for Joseppho Ferrie, who I know came to the USA in 1879 (info from the 1900 Boston census). He married in 1885 in Boston, and his children were born there, so I assume that port of entry was Boston. He originated from Italy. I've tried the Ellis Island Site, and the Immigrant Ships Transcription Site with no result, and have tried to obtain a copy of his marriage cert from your Mass. Archives (no result). State of Mass. Archives say that they don't have passenger lists for 1879 Boston, and although the Boston library has been helpful in general, they weren't able to help with specifics as to whether they actually had any information of help and it seems as though I would have to employ a researcher to go there and look up the information. It seems really difficult because a lot of the sources I have tried don't seem to be able to provide any information by post or Email, or else won't answer my specific enquiry about whether or not they actually do have passenger lists for 1879, or where I can get naturalisation copies. Can any Boston local help? Is there anywhere else I am liable to be able to get this information? Many thanks in advance A Williams Rintintin4141@aol.com
