about John, on the ship's manifest of 1906 the first name is ARRIGO FORMICHI age 14 the birthplace is Cascina town in Pisa province/Tuscany region.. for all civil records you can write here maparducci @ comune.cascina.pi.it (no spaces please) .. but on this ship's manifest of 1920 is a John Formichi born in 1891... regards, suanjFormichi wrote:My grandfather "John Formichi" emigrated in 1906 only to arrive on the west coast USA (Alameda, CA) shortly before the April 1906 earthquake. His family relocated to San Francisco sometime thereafter. My father tells me my grandfather had six brothers and one sister. I am not sure who was on the ship and who was born here. He was around 14 when he emigrated so I found the ship's manifest that matches these parameters, but then his name would have been Origgo (my father remembers Ovideo). He is included with a group of people from Cascia. How can I verify that this is my grandfather and who amongst the group were his family. I looked up the social security death records here and I recognize one brother Joseph Formichi. It looks like they changed their first names when they came here. Is this common? I am wondering where the other brothers went? Maybe they never received social security numbers? Thank you in advance for any detective assistance or advice you can provide.
Hi I think that this record is right, because Cascina birthplace of Arrigo/John Formichi is in Pisa province, regards, suanjjcsm400 wrote:This one is interesting.
