My ggrandfather said on his census he came to US in 1864, his father on his naturalizations said same and said NYC....I have searched passenger lists from 1862 to 1867 so far and haven't found them... Anyhow, back to the main questions....naturalizations papers and passenger lists are the resources to track immigration. Neither one of you mentioned areas so I think if you go to the NARA.gov (US national archives) website, click on Research Room, then click on Research Topics, you can get alot of info about what is available. If you ancestor came in through NYC in 1900-1901, they would have entered through Ellis Island. Try their website, they have a search engine where you can search for your ancestor right on line.
