Looks like his Father Leonardo went to see his Brother in Law Francesco Pepe (who was Leonards sister Carmela's husband) in New York, 1913 alone:

Here is Francesco Pepe and a Angeloa Fazio (nephew) possibly Giuseppe's brother?

Well done Suanj, You got it!
I clicked on the 1910 record to view from jewishgen.org, but it showed the wrong document!

Re: Help with finding grandfathers records

what you have posted will help me make sense of the story I know. Leonardo Fazio came alone to the USA in early 1900's ....he went back to Italy around 1905/1906 to bring his son Francesco Fazio to the USA. Than my Grandfather was in the USA and I never knew when he got here. I knew Leonardo remarried and yes Rose Andriola is his new wife... so those immigration records and census are correct. No one ever knew Josephs mothers name because we suspected she died when he was young.... we did a process of elimination with the naming first son after paternal GF etc. and decided Anna would be a good guess. I so want to believe that the 1910 Immigration record is my Grandfather, but we have never heard of him having sisters??? could they possibly be cousins... and they just marked them as sisters. My dad,aunts and uncles would know about him having sisters,unless they both died right after coming to the USA. The two girls Maria and Angela are not on the 1920 Census record. Thank you so much.. let me know what you think about Maria and Angela..?

the first wife died in 1912, see my post above; Maria and Angela surely was daughters of Leonardo and Anna; I know not the destiny of the 2 daughters.....

also I found this 2 trips
First Name: Leonardo
Last Name: Fazio
Ethnicity: Italy, Italian
Last Place of Residence: Grumo
Date of Arrival: Nov 01, 1902
Age at Arrival: 35y Gender: M Marital Status: M
Ship of Travel: Citta di Milano
Port of Departure: Naples
Manifest Line Number: 0025


http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0025
coming from Grumo Appula ( matching also as Leonardo birthplace on the 1925 trip) and joining at brother Tommaso..

and in 1906 with oldest son Francesco ( Frank):

First Name: Leonardo
Last Name: Fazio
Ethnicity: Italy, Italian South
Last Place of Residence: Gruma Appalo
Date of Arrival: Nov 10, 1906
Age at Arrival: 39y Gender: M Marital Status: M
Ship of Travel: Nord America
Port of Departure: Napoli
Manifest Line Number: 0013

http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0013
Leonardo joining at Francesco brother in NY

so Anna and other children travelled after Nov 10, 1906..
Leonardo had also a sister Anna Fazio ( Fazio maiden name) that travelled with her uncle Pietro Fazio and joining at Leonardo Fazio in NY
First Name: Anna
Last Name: Fazio
Ethnicity: Italy, Italian South
Last Place of Residence: Gruma Pula
Date of Arrival: Sep 06, 1906
Age at Arrival: 18y Gender: F Marital Status: S
Ship of Travel: Roma
Port of Departure: Naples
Manifest Line Number: 0005


http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0005
Leonardo surely was born in Grumo Appula, but most probably moved in Bitetto .. when I know not...
I believe that, the options are 2 abt Giuseppe arrival:
or he arrived the first time in 1910 with parents and siblings and on the ship's manifest only Leonardo was already in USA before of 1910; or he travelled also before of 1910 but travelled under mother maiden name, that is possible...
regards,

Thank you :)

I have searched the grumo appula microfilms for birth records and I did not find Leonardo Fazio anytime between 1860-1870 , at this point I'm going to try to locate Joseph's birth record and Leonardo's marriage record to Anna ... She was from Bitetto the marriage would have been there. I appreciate all the info you have given me .
