Unfortunately, I'm unable to read that. Is there a better picture, or a written out form of that?

Thank you, but sadly I still cannot read it. I have trouble reading cursive/handwriting of most people, let alone on a computer re-generated.





To everyone: this is all very informative; its interesting that there were two Antonio Croce's who left for America relatively around the same time.

May be Di Blasio
There's a 16 Sep 1910 manifest for possible brother Domenico, age 17, joining a brother-in-law Antonio Di Blasio
He's also from Montefino, mother ? Domenica

Ok, I'm getting a bit confused.

What does Domencia, Di Blasio, etc., have to do with Antonio Croce?

Thank you, but sadly I still cannot read it. I have trouble reading cursive/handwriting of most people, let alone on a computer re-generated.

To everyone: this is all very informative; its interesting that there were two Antonio Croce's who left for America relatively around the same time.
Best guess:
World War I Draft Registration Card dated 9 July 1918:

Antonio Croce, 21 years old
Address: 25 North 6th Street, Lebanon, Lebanon, PA
Born 28 February 1897 in Montefino, Teramo, Abruzzo
Alien (not a naturalized citizen)
Citizen of Italy
Father born in Montefino, Teramo, Abruzzo
Employed by Keystone Masonry & Mfg Co
at 15-18 N 6th Street Lebanon PA
Nearest relative: Sister Caroline Di Blasio
at 25 North 6th Street, Lebanon
---

If you think this is your Antonio, the manifests (and other records) found for Domenico & Vincenzo
would indicate that they were his brothers, and Caroline, his sister.
Birth location would be Montefino, Teramo, Abruzzo
Valarie

(really great finds Laura!)

I agree with Valarie, I think the correct arrival manifest for Antonio is the one of 1914:

According to this possible 1930 census
he arrived abt 1915
However, Vincenzo Croce did various trip between U.S. and Italy, I found these others:

Any reason you believe its the 1914 trip (for Antonio) over the 12.9.11 trip that I believe?

This Antonio Croce was son of Teresina Leone and Bartolomeo Croce
Each manifest gives specific info depending on year, if your manifest is correct, then the names of the parents are indicated above.

Known parent: Donato Croce (no known information)
Known parent: Anna Ranalli [Croce] (no known information)
Each record must be anyalyzed for clues and confirmation, IF your manifest find for Antonio is correct, then the parents you have listed in the quote are wrong??
