Good one Edmondo!!!!

What Edmondo is trying to say is..............if you give more details the people on the forum (right here) will be able to help you.

What are the years of birth for each person, childrens names and approximate years of birth, where did they settle, about what year(s) did they arrive in the USA, were any of the children born in Italy...if so names and approximate years of birth, what comune, province or region were they from in Italy?

The more detail you can give the easier it will be for people on the forum to help you.

Regards,
Elizabeth

Cittadino

This may help, a possible relative
Joseph A Cittadino
- a brother/ cousin/nephew?
- joining Mary Ann Cittadino on 4th Ave in Long Branch
- born in San Pietro
1920 manifest
1920 page 2

Note:
Based on other manifests on Ellis Island for
other Cittadino’s, best guess as to town is
San Pietro Apostolo, Catanzaro, Calabria
