vj, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Every little info coming in just warms my heart. I`v been on the phone with mom every time something new comes in. By the time I get to Florida I won`t have any news to tell her. LOL. I can`t believe she dosen`t remember her grand-mother`s name on the Bevilacqua side. I don`t know why some things have Bevilacqua with an e others with an a. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart. You indeed have been very kind to help in such a big way.

vj's work absolutely awesome!!

I'm not sure how this manifest will help... but am hoping that the surnames Ciancio and Fraietta may ring a bell...

This manifest shows a Domenico Cianco on his way to PA to join his cousin Agazio Martini, leaving his wife Maria Fraietta in Guardavalle.

Domenico Ciancio manifest page 1

Domenico Ciancio manifest page 2

First Name: Domenico
Last Name: Ciancio
Ethnicity: Italian
Last Place of Residence: Guardavalle, Italy
Date of Arrival: Feb 27, 1911
Age at Arrival: 22y Gender: M Marital Status: M
Ship of Travel: Sant Anna
Port of Departure: Naples
Manifest Line Number: 0023

Speranza,
Looks like a great lead.

Perhaps the wife, Maria Fraietta has the missing g-grandmother's
surname (Amalia Bevilacqua's mother)?

Or, if Agaito Martinis & Amalia Bevilacqua didn't marry
until after 1911 (date of this manifest), then
Domenico Cianco & Maria Fraietta may be related to the
Martinis side somehow?

Thanks for pitching in, we've been stuck trying to find more
records (online)

[naillady4jm]

Speranza, they have to be related. I can`t wait to see where this lead will take us all. VJ, somehow I know your wheels are turning.
My husband I were just saying about how wonderful people on this forum have been to me. It`s overwhelming.

Helen, fiddling around w/google
Have you ever seen this article on your mother's uncle?
Eugene Bevilacqua Camden NJ
Pretty neat to see a quote from him!

From a terrific site about Camden.

[naillady4jm]

vj,you are always surprising me with things. Yor are now bringing life to my childhood memories that I do have and experienced.I grew up in Cramer Hill and many times had to get dad out of the bars up and down the road.lol.My schools are listed and cresent bottling where we bought the best creme soda around.I remember him being a barber. I think mom said we have someone that is or was big in the church in Philadelphia who also was a Beviacqua.

Camden growing up was great but now it`s getto and murder capitol.How very sad. I still have my memories and thank you for refreshing them.

Helen, that looks like it was a great town to grow up in.
I really enjoyed the pictures on the website. Looks like
it's still a very active site!
If your mom is referring to Cardinal Bevilacqua, you
will find an awful lot about him on google
Valarie

He has quite a story...
"Anthony Joseph Cardinal Bevilacqua
Function:
Archbishop Emeritus of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Title:
Cardinal Priest of SS Redentore e S Alfonso in via Merulana
Birthdate:
Jun 17, 1923 Country:
USA
Elevated:
Jun 28, 1991"

" Bevilacqua grew up poor, the ninth of 11 children born
to Italian immigrants, in Queens, N.Y.
(His father was a mason, but couldn't find work in his trade,
so he worked in a patchwork of jobs.)
Inspired by a priest who was a German immigrant,
Bevilacqua went on to care deeply about immigrant
needs and rights "

probably a distant relation?
" His father, Luigi Bevilacqua, was born 12 April 1884
at Spinazzola, in Puglia near Bari;
his mother, Maria Giuseppina Codella, at Calitri,
in the province of Avellino "

[naillady4jm]

Valerie, thanks for the link on how to do google seach.I never knew how.I`m learning alot on this forum. Had a lot on him to read. I`m not sure I want to be related to him. I`m sure every family has people they don`t want to claim.lol. Wait till I tell mom.

[nuccia]

No problem Helen.

I'm trying to find another way to send you that info I tried to send earlier. My son needs the computer for homework now but I will send it either through imageshack or upload. Not sure if the site expires tonight or tomorrow though..

I'm so sorry...

[naillady4jm]

Nuccia, please don`t feel sorry. I`m new to the computer world and maybe I`m not looking in the right spot. I wrote down the instrutions to follow and still had problems. I don`t want you feeling bad if I can`t excess the site. You have been more than generous with all your help.I will forever be grateful.
