Hey Emo Chick,
One of the first things I found is Affonsa Siggia, from Grotte Sicily on the Ellis Island web site listed. He arrrived on Feb21, 1917 on the Patria (gender is listed as F). You need to get an account there but it is free! They will tell you who came to this country through Ellis Island, and on what ship, who traveled with them and when. There were 25 other arrivals there.
I also listed the Genforum site, where you can find and chat with other Siggia's. If you have more questions, please post them!
