-------, Tonny, age 7, bornLA
-------, Chas(???Charles???), age 5, born LA

Living nearby, ED 45, page 8A......

-------, Veronica (?), age 39, born Italy, arrived 1895
-------, Frank, age 10, born LA

No doubt these are brothers. Also indicates that more then one trip make back and forth to Italy. Father apparently died in LA and you might be able to find those records.

Dear Moby O2 I am very happy that yyou decided to shed your feigned ignorance of genealogy with words that implied limited education with more cogent information and words that were intelligible to people on this forum. I guess it is the weather in Oz that does it. Peter

Here is more:


1900 census of Thibodaux, ED 26, page 1B

Musso, Frank, born Jan 1843, age 57, married 27 years, arrived 1894, shoemaker
-----, Maria, born Dec 1853, age 46, married 27 years, had 8 children, 7 living, arrived 1899
-----, Tony, born Jan 1876, age 24, arrived 1899, shoemaker
-----, Joseph, born Sept 1877, age 22, arrived 1899, shoemaker
-----, Carlo, born May 1880, age 20, arrived 1899, shoemaker
-----, Nicholas, born Feb 1882, age 18, arrived 1899, shoemaker
-----, Mary, born Sept 1887, age 12, arrived 1899
-----, Peter, born Apr 1992, age 8, arrived 1899, also listed as shoemaker

The first child might have been a daughter so I cannot find her yet. However, by 1910, Frank Sr. is a widow. By 1930, Frank Sr. is apparently dead.

Giuseppe and Frances had one more son between 1920-1930 and that is Giuseppe P. Jr., born 1923 it looks like.

Charles lives next door in 1930 and Nick not far away....

Apparently these arrival dates in this census are probably more accurate since they are closer to the time they occurred. Need to check Ellis Island out for these dates............

First of all it is Filippo and Giuseppina and there are more than 200
usso surnamed persons in theprovince of Palermo and since you say Palermo without disti nguishing between the city of palermo and the province of palermo pause is dictated until the actual town or village of origin is known if the city of Palermo is not the place origin. Most records are in the city town or village of origin save for several records at the provincial level. Peter

thanks,
so what's the difference between the 2 places?

dont worry i just found that out, anyway, i dont know if it was Palermo, because my mum said 'Paloma'(i dont know if thats a actual place)so i checked it out and came up with 'Palomandro, which led me to Lago(cosenza) i dont know what the cosenza means.

What makes this hard for me is that i cant read or speak italian, so any help would be good


thanks.

Lago is a town/village in the province of Cosenza and the civil records for that place is on micorfilm at the nearest family history library of the mromon church to your home. The records are from 1809 to 1910. The cost is nom,inal and bring along a magnifying glass and you may wish to consider buying the book Discovering Your Italian Ancestors by Lynn nelson. Peter

So I found Maria Di Giorgio's Birthday is December 18, 1853, and Francesco's Birthday is June 29, 1843. I found these on Italian Birth Records. Maria's parents were Giuseppe Di Giorgio from 1817 to June 20, 1859. Maria Di Giorgio had a brother Michele Di Giorgio M January 23, 1859, to June 20, 1859, and Marianna Puccio. 1820 Francesco's parents were Antonino Musso Pantaleo 1806 to 1866, and his mother was Antonina Giaccone 1813> For Giuseppe Di Giorgio> When Maria Di Giorgio was born in 1853, and it said Giuseppe was 36 and Marianna was 34 years old. When Michele Di Giorgio died, it said Giuseppe Di Giorgio was 32 years old
