Re: Trying to find Burgo and Sparola??? Dead end-please help

Trish Thanks for looking! That is in fact the correct Rosaria Lamarra. I was able to get a copy of the marriage certificate from Michele's youngest daughter the other day and on there where Michele signed his name it looks like Borio-we thought that odd but it looks like it was just his handwriting...

Re: Trying to find Burgo and Sparola??? Dead end-please help

Ok for my own sanity sake this thread has been good for me to keep track of some information. I spoke with my grandmothers younger sister today and she told me this information: She believed her mother (antonia) to have arrived at age 18 or 19 which would be 1908 or 1909 (give or take of course!) We...

Re: Trying to find Burgo and Sparola??? Dead end-please help

mfjp-I don't know if that one would work-do you think the height could be wrong? In the photo luigi and antonia look the same size but I guess he could have grown by the wedding too?? Really long shot but are you able to figure out anything ont he manifest for this one: 8) Pantone,Antonia Salandra, ...

Re: Trying to find Burgo and Sparola??? Dead end-please help

Thanks mfjp! Its definatly possible...Let me look over a few things...I think she was born in 1889 or 1890 according to the math but we do think she came over AFTER luigi, my grandmother always said he sent for her but we aren't sure. and Hamden NY-could it be CAMDEN NJ? That is where they ended up ...

Re: Trying to find Burgo and Sparola??? Dead end-please help

mfjp-you are so much better at reading those manifests than me! The problem I was running into was my grandmothers' cousin husband swearing they arrived as kids 9 and 11. Neither my mom or myself think that is true since according to my grandmother, michele came first then sent for luig-which accord...

Re: Trying to find Burgo and Sparola??? Dead end-please help

Thanks all. My mom and I agree with think they are different. I do know the one photo of the two is framed-my grandmother's sister has it. I scanned it in to make a print for my grandmother. The pic of the four of them my grandmothers cousin has, I don't know if she keeps it framed or not but I scan...

Re: Trying to find Burgo and Sparola??? Dead end-please help

Thanks wldspirit! That is what I am thinking. I think its tough with Luigi b/c he was younger than michele and so he could have aged but that woman is not antonia.

Thanks!

Re: Trying to find Burgo and Sparola??? Dead end-please help

Ok...so here are two photos, the one of TWO people IS Luigi and Antonia. The one of the FOUR is Michele and Rosaria's wedding and their witnesses. According to my grandmother's cousin, the photo of the FOUR is luigi, antonia, michele and rosaria. I am not convinced. If you ask me...I don't think it ...

Re: Trying to find Burgo and Sparola??? Dead end-please help

Thanks Trish! I appreciate the time you took to get the info. not sure if I wrote this or not because I just found this out today actually but I found out that Luigi and Michele's dad's name WAS Rocco! And their mother was Angela Latella. It seems Antonia Sferrolla's parents were Nicola (is that nic...

Re: Trying to find Burgo and Sparola??? Dead end-please help

Thanks Trish for the info. I beleive Luigi and Antoina to be married in Camden NJ in 1909 but I think that Michele Burgo and Rosaria Lamarra were married in Phila in 1906. If you are able to find them in your records that would be helpful too. I was just able to see (my grandmother's sister had it!)...

I can't figure out the photo thing but if you copy and paste the link you can see the image...

I am still not convinced about these brothers when they came over...I wonder if maybe they were orphaned at 9 and 11 but didn't come over right away? I just don't know..back to the books!
