Hi Marty
Thank you so much for your response. On the ships manifesto papers it states that his last known address was Puazza but I cannot find such a place and therefore believe it to be Piazza as things were obviously misspelled. Would that be the right assumption?

Hi Marty,
Many thanks again! So he was born in Piazza as we thought... Will check the records from the National Archives as you suggested. Very exciting... Any chance you can help with my grandparents Andrea Acquaviva born around 1883 somewhere in Sicily and Vincenza Montaperto born in 1893 coming from Miovia (according to ship manifest)?

My family is from this town. I will have my cousin look at the records from 1900 at the Family History Center.

Hi Marty,
Andrea Acquaviva died in 1931, so cannot be him.
Thanks...
