Gordon, I searched for my grandfather and his family for years coming in to NY. I knew the ship, the Madonna, the date too and could not find them on the ship manifest. Then when Ellis Island was being remodeled, I asked my Tia (grandpa's sis) if she remembered seeing the Statue of Liberty and Ellis when they arrived. She said, no, we landed in Providence RI!!! 35 years of looking in NY and there they were, coming into RI. You have to realize that the Passenger Manifests stayed in the *Port of Entry*. So,the Madonna went to Providence first dropped off passengers and then on to NY! Problem solved.
