Following an exhaustive research project, I was able to locate documentation of our history. 
The slide show offers full size views of each found. Ellis Island, & the 1920's & 30's US Census'. Cedrones, Camilli, Tocci, Arpies...Click any image in the slideshow to take you to the album where you'll see all the documents full size.
I was unable to locate my grandparents, Loreto & Maria Cedrone, until I searched for them using different first names. American census takers sometimes wrote names incorrectly, or as my father would say, they'd "Americanize a name." I could not find Loreto & Maria because they are listed as Larry & Mary. How ironic.
Documents are to your right, or like our ancestors, journey here:

The People of America Center, the new Ellis Island museum will open 2011.
The story of Loreto Cedrone will be part of a very special collection.
His journey to America will be chronicled along with other immigrants who came between 1982-1954 . He was known by many names. Grandpa, Dad, Loreto, Mr. Cedrone, (or as he wrote) Cetrone, also pronounced Ci'Tronie, but his name will forever be a part of Ellis Island. His story is currently online at:

What your "passport," looked liked. Dan Marini travels to America,
where he & his family will be greeted by their friends from the "old country," the Cedrones. In 1940 he marries Clorinda Cedrone:
Donato Marini comes to AMERICA!
