*During the 1800s, most Italian emigrants left through the ports of '''Le Havre, Marseilles, and Nice in France, and Genova, Napoli, and Palermo in Italy.''' Although some of the records of departures from these Italian ports exist, they are usually shipping lists and do not list passengers. Each individual shipping company maintained its own lists, and most lists have been lost or destroyed. | *During the 1800s, most Italian emigrants left through the ports of '''Le Havre, Marseilles, and Nice in France, and Genova, Napoli, and Palermo in Italy.'''
