Giorty tell the nice lady that she should go to www.ellisisland.org and look up Catuosco surnbame and check the ships manifest for Marsico as place of birth.....She is not familiar with immigrants whose name is extinct in Italy but still alive in the USA since they all left Italy for the USA in that name or they simp;ly died out in Italy.

hey suanj

I have seen this L. catuosco before. When i went on ellis island , i found gennerio catuosco. he says he is coming to see his brothers Luigi and Michele. in brooklyn N.Y Now from what i can figure Michele may just be my great grandfather. i have found my great grandfather and gennerio on the census and they live within blocks of one another, can not find luigi though. My theory is that michele, gennerio and luigi may all be brothers, I'm waiting for micheles death certificate, hoping to find parents name. and then get gennerios. and see if the connection is sure.

hey saunj
This very well could be my great grandfather michele. the age is correct. but since he is already u.s. citzen not much information available on manifest. he may very well have gone back to italy in that year. not sure. maybe family(mother or father) business. ie death in family.

Hi Girty:
Giannario(or Gianmario) Catuosco goes from brothers Luigi and Michele. Gianmario is from Marsico.
Also the brothers are from Marsico... are a deduction. We do not know if Michele is your ancestors, just? but you can try to write to Marsico' s common. Send me of text letter that I had prepared to you that I execute corrections for Marsico ( Marsiconuovo or Marsicovetere) . To try does not damage..!regards, suanj
