Actually, I have seen the the 3 Williams on the Italian site, but it's hard to know which is the right person. Also, I did get one record already which was the wrong William--it was for a William born in the 1880's. And I don't believe he's a son of the William I'm looling for. William's Roumanian name was Wolf or Wolfe Liebowitz or possibly Liebovici. The One Step site is great and I did find a Wolf and Maria Leibovitz who arrived in July, 1901. The listing is at the bottom of the page which, sadly, is torn so not all of the children's names show. There is a Ruchel, f, 15y and they had a daughter Rose about that age in NY. Then Taub..... f, 8y and they had Tillie about that age. Then a 4y male, name very difficult to read, maybe Isi... They had Irving about that age. Then one more child--name, sex and age not shown. They had a daughter Pauline born 1899 or 1900. (Also 3 older children, Newman, David and Esther that must have come earlier--maybe before Ellis Island). The passenger list shows they were going to a son D. Liebovitz in Brooklyn. This is actually the family of an older friend of mine that I am trying to help. She would really like to find the passenger list. William and Mary or Mariam were her grandparents and she isn't sure this family on the passenger list is the correct family. So that's why I'm trying to find the naturalization record which, hopefully, would tell when they came and the name of the ship. The arrival year shown in the various census years for William and the children don't agree. Some show 1900 or 1902 and I haven't found two of them in 1920. Thanks again for all your help. I'll follow-up on your suggestions. Carol
