Caneva Family History - Ellis Island Caneva Entries

Ellis Island Records

Researching Caneva entries on the Ellis Island website is difficult because many Canevas made multiple entries into the United States, share the same first, or given name, or were members of ship's crews. Below is a breakdown of the 86 Caneva records found on the Ellis Island website, with Caneva entries grouped by ultimate destination and sorted by date of entry. Also included are several Canevas who entered the country under their mother's maiden names, or whose name was misspelled. Click on the group to jump directly to that section below, then click on the individual Caneva emigree's name to open a new window containing their Ellis Island record.
