Peter...His surname is positively Lonetto, not Lonetta. In 1903. the mistake was in the recording of the last letter of his surname. When he came in 1910, the name was correct.

I have been advised there is only one hotel, Hotel la Collina. I wish to contact this hotel for reservations but do not ...

I did file form 81 stating New York as the arrival port. His papers definetly said he arrived in New York. Maybe they can find him. If not I will try the Boston arrival email adddress.
Thanks again....Claudia

It was on the Declaration of Intention for Naturalization paper filed by Domenico Barilla in 1918. It is probably another case of mis-spelling due to misunderstood pronunciation.

I have not had good luck getting information by filing form 81 in other inquiries. I will try again.
Peter, do you know if EVELIJA is a correct ship name?
Thanks, Claudia
