Pre-departure records
These are migration records from other European countries where Italian immigrants may have stayed before boarding the ship to America.
- French migration records:
- Belgium, Antwerp Police Immigration Index, 1840-1930 – The dossiers list all aliens living in Antwerp who were registered with the police. Places of origin are included in the indexes beginning in 1886. Many of the foreigners came from the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland. But there were also many Italians, Spanish and South American. Many of these immigrants were only passing through Antwerp, working to raise the money for passage to America. The index was to help find individuals in the dossiers which were created to monitor foreigners living in Antwerp.
- Border Crossings from Canada to United States 1894-1954 – This database includes an index of both aliens and citizens who entered the United States from Canada through various ports along the U.S.-Canada border between 1894 and 1954. It aligns with five NARA collections: A3445, A3450, A3451, A3478, and A3480.
- Border Crossings from Canada to United States 1895-1956 – This database contains an index of aliens and citizens crossing into the U.S. from Canada via various ports of entry along the U.S.-Canadian border between 1895 and 1956.
- Border crossings from Mexico to United States – Index to records of aliens and citizens crossing into the United States of America from Mexico via various ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexican border between 1903 and 1957.

- AltreItalie – Find Your Roots – Three databases available on-line, with lists of landing of the Italians in Argentina, Brazil and United States. The Documentation Center on the People and Cultures of Italian Origin in the World, set up by the Giovanni Agnelli Foundation in 1993, offers three separate data banks containing the transcription of the information contained in the passenger lists of the ships that arrived in New York, Buenos Aires and Vitoria (Italian nationals only).
- The Immigrant Ancestors Project, sponsored by the Center for Family History and Genealogy at Brigham Young University, uses emigration registers to locate information about the birthplaces of immigrants in their native countries, since this information is often omitted in many port records and naturalization documents of the destination countries.
Currently the project is focusing on immigrants from France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Volunteers working with scholars and researchers at Brigham Young University are creating a database of millions of immigrants based on these emigration registers. Currently, we can consult these records:
| Napoli Illegal Emigration | Italiano | 3,301 |
| Napoli Passport Requests 1888-1901 | Italiano | 800 |
| Prefecture of Genoa 1858-1872 | Italiano | 9,145 |
| Torino Passport Request 1903-1905 | Italiano | 10,186 |
