Help with a Rosa Feminnelli

[Grombone]

DOB around 1874 Death 1937 Here Dad Michele Feminnelli. From Sassano, Italy. Can't find when she came to US

Hello!
What records do you already have for Rose?
Who/where did she marry?
Thanks!

[Grombone]

I don't have any records. My cousin and I had a conversation about her. The info I posted is all she told me along with she can't find where she came into the country. We know she was here. My cousin is the person working on my grandmothers side of the family.

[vj]

Some clues?
Is this your grandmother's family in 1910:
Jennie Cannaro Rambone's (1911) parents & grandparents?

Jennie's mother, Rose Femminella/i Cannaro born abt 1875-1880
- married abt 1902 (prob in NY)
- 4 children
- immig 1889-1891 with parents? or brothers Nicola/o or Antonio?

1910 census

Home in 1910:
Jersey City Ward 5, Hudson, New Jersey

Michael Feinnminelle 62
May Feinnminelle 52
Nicholas Feinnminelle 27

Rose Carnano 30
Frank Carnano 30
Frank Carnano 4
Mary Carnano 9
Annie Carnano 7
Sophie Carnano 6

Anthony Feinninelle 24

Rose is my great grandmother on my grandmothers side Jennie is my grandmother. Jennie and her sides name is Carrano. Maybe a mispelling in the records?

[vj]

No doubt a misspelling, 'N' is often mistranscribed as 'R' and 'U'
---

It's possible that Rosa arrived alone or with her mother
If she travelled with her mother it may have been as 'daughter' under her mother's maiden name

Rosa's father Michele & both brothers headed to Jersey City (Brooklyn lined out)father Michele is a widower(*), not his first trip
* on the 1910 census Michele has only been married once for 35 yrs (abt 1875)

1897 manifest

Found it, it's pretty blurry

1901 manifest

13 May 1901, SS Georgia, Naples to NY
lines 15-16

?? Maria[/i] 44, abt 1856
- last residence Sassano
- may have been in US before
correction, the stray marks were JC NJ, they were not in the US before
- joining husband Femminelli/a in Jersey City

d (daughter) Rosa 24, abt 1876


from ancestry. com
same 1901 manifest

Name: Maria Buanamo (probably Buonomo)
Arrival Date: 13 May 1901
Estimated birth year: abt 1857 Age: 44
Gender: Female Port of Departure: Naples, Italy
Ethnicity/Race­/Nationality: Italian
Ship Name: Georgia
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Line: 15 Microfilm Serial: 15 Microfilm Roll: T715_194 Page Number: 70

[Grombone]

So if Micele came over as a widower and married Marie (Mary) Buonomo
Est. d/o/b 1858
Est. d/o/m 1875
And Rosa is their daughter and not his from a previous marriage she could have been born here? Am I thinking this thru correctly? These things are pretty new to me.

[vj]

That's possible,
or
also possible, the 1897 manifest was incorrect - he wasn't a widower

Rosa being on the 1901 manifest with her mother probably means she was born in Sassano

Probably the only way to be sure is to write for a few records from Sassano
Perhaps Rosa's birth and Michele & Maria's marriage?

So then he wasn't a widower when he came over. And Rosa and My great great grandmother came over later together in the 1901 manifest?

[vj]

That's my best guess
It will also be interesting to see what your cousin thinks
Thank you

My cousin says According to the 1910 census Rose and Frank Carrano immigrated to america 1891 and Michael and Mary Femminelli immigrated to America in 1889. So this could have been them coming back from a trip to Italy but it is not when they first came to America.
