Thank you for the time and patience in trying to help me, Rip. <img src="<a href="http://www.titanic.com/uploads/smil3dbd4d6422f04.gif"" target="_blank">http://www.titanic.com/uploads/smil3dbd4d6422f04.gif"</a> alt="" /><br />I also had several attempts both with Google and with Yahoo search, but they only sent me to sites I had already visited. I tried to find some available immigration records for the UK, but it seems they don`t share this kind of information on line <img src="<a href="http://www.titanic.com/uploads/smil3dbd4d75edb5e.gif"" target="_blank">http://www.titanic.com/uploads/smil3dbd4d75edb5e.gif"</a> alt="" /> . That works also for the Italian government. There is no registration of people getting out of the country, other then in numbers and statistics. I was wondering if perheaps there is a site with names and records of the brithish census from around year 1900? I haven`t been able to find anything so far. Anyway, I am working on some other ideas that came to me lately. I believe that Luigi Crovella, being only 17 at the time, couldn`t possibly have got the job by himself, that is without recomandation. It is unlikely that he had previously worked as an waiter for a respectable establishment because he would have been too young. So maybe some other italian waiter took him in and introduced him to Gatti and maybe even guaranteed for him. I am trying to do this little investigation right now <img src="<a href="http://www.titanic.com/uploads/smil3dbd4d6422f04.gif"" target="_blank">http://www.titanic.com/uploads/smil3dbd4d6422f04.gif"</a> alt="" /> Yes, it would have been really nice to find a photo to associate with L. Crovella`s name.
