Just starting can anyone help?

[travele799]

Hello I have just recently found out that Italian citizenship is a possibilty to me. As I am now living in Japan it is very hard to get any information and truth be told I do not know where to even start looking...
What I really need to find out is the naturalization information on my great grandfather (as well as where and when he died!).

This is all the information I have any help would be greatly appreciated or any way for me to access the 1910 census or where I can get any additional would also be greatly appreciated ...

His name is Guiseppe Campochiaro he was born on dec 11, 1885. He came over on the Duilio leaveing from napoli and arriving at ellis island on Sept 18, 1924... this is the only shiip crossing I have been able to find though I know he came over much earlier!

I think he was bron in Riesi, Sicily....

Please help me out!!

Thank you,
Mark

I don't know of any way to see the naturalization online. I'm sure there are people at this site who can give you suggestions. I found the record of his death at the lds family search site.

Is this him by any chance?

It says he previously travelled to the US from about 1912.

Here is a 1910 census of a Giuseppe...not Guiseppe living in Boston in 1910, with his son who is almost 8 and his wife. Might not be the same person although you never know if it will help.

I just found my grandfathers boat, He came on the Patria from Palermo on Dec 2, 1924... he was 14 years old...

his mothers name was Crocifissa Campochiaro (Radosta is maiden name)... how are you able to view the manifest?

Sorry eyetalgal,

Looks like we were posting at the same time.

Nuccia,
The first one you posted on the Duilio is him for sure... his first son was born on sept 10, 1909... so the second one is most likely not him.
How could I find out about the journey he made in 1912?

Thanks for the help
