Passenger Manifest

Passenger Manifest for Domenico Ricciardi, S.S. Providence, 1920

12 October 1920

Two-page alien passenger manifest for the S.S. Providence arriving at New York on 12 October 1920, with a candidate entry for Domenico Ricciardi on line 23. The travel anchors, Cleveland destination, and wife Cristina Polletta match the naturalization/passenger evidence strongly enough to recommend this as the same Domenico Ricciardi, but the manifest's S. Giovanni S. residence and birthplace readings conflict with the San Giuliano del Sannio evidence and should be preserved as a discrepancy.
