Gaetano Turturro, Maria Tatulli Turturro from Bitonto, Italy

[rjturturro]

I have been looking for detailed information about the immigration of my great grand parents and grandfather. Info I have is that Gaetano Turturro (great grandfather, DOB approx 1863), Domenick Turturro (great uncle, DOB 1893) and Frank Turturro (great uncle, DOB 1896) immigrated to the US in 1907. 4 years later,in 1911, rest of family immigrated including, Maria Turturro (great grand mother, DOB approx 1874), Frances Turturro (great aunt, DOB 1890), Nicholas Turturro (grandfather, DOB 1903) and Antoinette Turturro (great Aunt, DOB 1907).

I have searched ancestry.com and the ellis island website with no luck. Can anyone recommend a source for further research? Thanks very much.

Based on this census, the manifest (arrival 5/23/911) for Domenica Tatulli is the correct one for Maria Turturro

If you need a copy of this record, I can link an image to it...Just let me know.

Hope this helps.

Hi again,

To trace the Turturro & related families in Bitonto, Bari, Italy, you can order the films of the LDS Church (Mormans). These are films of the vital records for this town, 1809-1900. Here is a link to the available films.

And a link to locate your nearest LDS-Family History Center.

Maria,

As always, great job!

Thank you! and you too jcsm... you are awesome with census records.. I don't have as much patience with those... (or at times luck...)

Such confusions with these names... Turturro, Tatulli.... Gartatno Turturro... Curturro... Catulli...

Not easy to research... you know... the records for our paesanos are there... the hard part is figuring out what name or town "modern" man transcribed them as... just makes it a research nightmare...

Hello,
I can not recommend a source but maybe help further. My grandmother was Antoinette Turturro. Possibly there is a connection?
