I have found this record through ancestry.com and it that has several pieces of information that I cannot read.
I think this may be my ancestors, but need to verify a few things. If anyone can see this and help me read it, I'd greatly appreciate it!
This is for Vincenzo and Salvatore Bentivegna; line numbers 9 & 10 on this immigration record. This one has 2 pages to it.
On the first page where it show's who was left in the country that the immigrant left:
Where it says Wife "something" Angela. Can't tell what that "something" may be. I believe our Angela's last name may have been Zabbia. Can't tell if the 1st letter is a T, or what.
On the 2nd page:
1. Years in the US 1907(or 1909?)/1914
2. Where he was at that time? Maybe Galvaston??
3. The friend or relative...can't tell what the first two words are before Guisseppe. I'm hoping that if I can tell what the friends last name was, that may give me another avenue to search since I cannot find my ancestor before 1923 when his first child was born in Texas.
This is the link to the record's first page. If anyone has better eyes than me, I would appreciate you taking a look!

Relative left behind: wife T? Angela in Corleone

Re: Help reading an immigration record.
Thank you for doing that!
Yeah I wish I could figure out the friends name in Texas. I know our ancester ended up in Bessmay Texas, which is north of Houston, by 1923.
I thought if I could search for the friend, I may could find another clue.
