We finally agree....Mesoraca (Italy) is below her name in Column 11.
Next to her name starts Column 12 Final Destination (of Francesco)
"Mahanoy City" (illegible) appears here. That was my original question, trying to understand this name (the city he was meeting Pietro in).
I guess I will never know. Sorry for all the confusion. :?

Hooray...Hooray.... :D :D :D
I just found Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania on a internet search engine!
That is where Francesco was meeting his brother, Pietro. It makes sense because family history says they worked in the mines. Then after some time they went to Elkhart, Indiana to work in the steel mill.
Thank you for your patience with me....the dialogue kept me focused on finding the destination city!
