does that give any kind of relation ship to the other nigro listed above him?

Andrea Nigro, 16, is traveling with his father Giovanni, 41. They are traveling to Philadelphia to join their uncle Nicola Nigro

[jmd0727]

that 1920 census is right....I know that he had an brother that they called Pat.....and that I know that Andrea only had one son....I know that Andrea died in 1934

did it say right on that census that Giovanni was his father......

[jmd0727]

Are there two different places in Italy.....Castelfranco and Castelfranci......or they the same place??

[pink67]

This is the town they were from:

Castelfranci town (comune) in the province of Avellino, Campania, Italy.

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castelfranci

http://www.ikra.it/castelfranci/

Castelfranco is another town... (Castelfranco Veneto, Castelfranco Emilia, Castelfranco di Sopra, Castelfranco di Sotto) in others regions....

[jmd0727]

ok....I know they were from Castelfranco at least that is what I am told and I did find an Andrea matching that....that was also first posting on there.....that manifast
