Joseph,
Ellis Island gives one record, Camillo Aquilante 24 yo in 1910, son of Nazzaro Aquilante, directed to brother in law Saverio Russo in Trenton, traveling with Raffaele Aquilante, 22, son of Andrea, directed to cousin Biase Rossi in Trenton, both coming from Gricignano di Aversa, which is a place in the Province of Caserta, north of Naples.

If this is not your ancestor and you are sure he was from the Province of L'Aquila - though the surname is not recorded in this area - and you do not know the name of the original village, it is still possible to research in the conscription lists, kept in the archive of L'Aquila. If you are sure he was from Abruzzo, the Aquilante surname is more common in the province of Chieti and exactly in the village of Palombaro.

If you have more details on your ancestor you can contact our genealogy section for more help.
