4	New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957: The S.S. Citta di Milano, sailing from Naples on 20 Mar 1903 and arriving in New York on 5 Jun 1903, contained Antonina Coniglio, 39, as well as Vito Schillaci, 8, Caterina Schillaci, 3, and Giovanni Schillaci, 1. Antonina is described as a "country woman." None of them are able to read or write. They're all from Corleone, Italy, and their final destination is New York. Antonina paid for the journey herself and for the kids. She is listed as being in posession of $40. None of them had ever been to the US before. Antonina is going to join her sister, Maria Schillaci, currently living at 223 E. 103rd St. The children are all listed as joining their "sister," presumably also Maria.

Research Notes

• Maria is presumably an immigrant because her Mother immigrates in 1903 and has never been to the US before.
