Thank you all for your responses.
To answer Tessa's questions:
1. The manifest uses the term "relation" to describe the connection/relationship
2. Here is a link to the part of the manifest with that information
http://postimage.org/image/zem9jc1p9/ - the comune is Roma and the street is Via Giulia 188 as listed
3. I don't believe that Maria Candoli is my GM's mother for a couple of reasons:
- I have been told that my grandmother was either an orphan or an illegitimate child.
- My GM was coming to the U.S. to stay with a step-brother with the surname of Pelorosi
- When she and he were alive - my family knew him as her step-brother but we were never clear on how they were related (i.e. father or mother?)
- I have found her step-brother's birth record in Supino, Italy. He is also illegitimate but his father has the surname of Pelorosi and no mother listed on the birth record. I also have his manifest record know that when he immigrates he is still listed as living in Supino.
- When my GM marries 4 months after arriving in the U.S. she lists both of her parents as "dead" on the marriage record.
So I think Maria Candoli must not be her mother but some other relation?
Livio - thanks for the address!
Can someone help me to translate exactly what Sabino's post means? I am reading it to say that if I want a "certified" record it is 15.14 euros but if I want it on plain paper it is .26 euros?
thanks.
