Wendi,
According to either John P. Colletta (in They Came in Ships) or Michael Tepper (in American Passenger Arrival Records), the ship captain could count them in either port. So you have to check Ellis Island (or Castle Garden if it was before 1892) and the final port. I'm guessing that if someone's final destination was Fall River, they would sail into New Bedford or possibly Boston or Providence. So check them all.
