Re: Ellis Island to Vicksburg,Miss 1906 Endentured Servants

Thank you for that information. The only thing i doubt is that Amedeo
was a plantation owner as Italians were regarded as 2nd class citizens
during that time. I have to research that name.
I really appreciate your input .
Thanks again, Shelley
