Milazzo family in Palermo

[bmilazzo]

Looking for informatino on Lorenzo Milazzo and his wife Guiseppa (Sorrentino) Milazzo
DOB Lorenzo 1862
Guiseppa 1869
Married in Palermo 1884

Looking for information on their children

[vj]

Welcome to the Forum bmilazzo

Did these folks move to the US or Canada?
If they did, do you have their records (ship, census, military, etc)?

Do you mean the comune of Palermo, or the province of Palermo?
If it's the comune of Palermo we can direct you on how to find your family's records there.

Thank you, Valarie

[bmilazzo]

I don't know if it is the city of Palermo or the province of Palermo. I have not found any reference anywhere about Lorenzo or Guiseppa. I have found records for four of their children born between 1985 and 1905.

Lorenzo came to the US in 1905 with his oldest son Nunzio. My (corrected: grandfather), Guiseppe, arrived in Dec. of 1905. Guiseppa arrived in 1907.

I have census records from 1920 for Lorenzo, Guiseppa, and two of their children. I have census records for my father, his wife and one of their children.
I have the manifest entires for everyone except a few of the children.

If this 1906 arrival manifest is correct for Giuseppa Sorrentino Milazzo, then her place of birth (and place of birth for her child Carmela and Gaspare) is Trapani.... Palermo was their last residence in Italy...

Yes, this is her. She traveld under her maiden name. Are you sure about the name change from my Sorrentino to your Porrentino?
Thank you so much for your help.

My goal is to find my grandfather's place and date of birth. It is the last item I need for dual citizenship.

Italian birth records for four of her children show her name as Sorrentino.

Lorenzo and Guiseppa - great grandparents
Guiseppe (Joseph) their son, my grand father.

Hello!
I'm pretty sure that Laura meant that Sorrentino is the correct surname
(it was transcribed incorrectly)

Adams street sounds familiar. I'll have to check my records.
This is great.
I thought I was at a dead end. Thanks so much.

Now to see if I can locate birth certificate in Italy for Joseph.
Don' hesitate to help again!!

[bmilazzo]

Joseph's father Lorenzo lived at 325 Adams in Hoboken.

Bmilazzo,
I'm sure the arrival manifest is correct for Giuseppa have you seen this?:

Laura

Thanks so much. I had not seen the 1910 census info despite trying multiple spellings. I had not tried yours.
The Palermo births I had found but did not know where I should inquire further other than the Comune (see below). Thanks.
The Draft card I believe is my grandfathers. He returned to Italy between 1905 and 1909 and returned in 1909.
Finding anything about him has proven difficult because he didn't want to be found (IMHO) due to his association with less than reputable people in NYC his entire life.
I visited a Family SEarch (Mormon) office yesterday but was unable to turn up anything. Now I'm trying to locate my grandmother's naturalization application. Have her petition card but not the application.
PM me for more details.
several weeks ago I did contact the Comune in your link but I have not had a response from them. I wrote to them in Italian (translation as I don't speak Italian)

[lilbees]

Hi, not sure if this would be of any help but when my grandfather came to visit in Chicago in 1910 he was accompanied by a friend, Francesco Milazzo, coming from Gabes, Tunisia. Francesco had family friends he was visiting in Chicago.
