I'm looking for any descendents of my great uncle, Augusto/Agostino/Giustino Di Marco, son of Giacomo (James), originally from Abruzzo in Italy. He left for the United States in approximately in 1906 when he was around 17-20 years old. He wrote back home once, and then he dissapeared into thin air, and my family never heard from him again. My grandfather never met him, but named my father in his memory. We would really like to know what happened to him.
Unfortunately, my searches so far have not been very fruitful. I cannot find anything on him for the Ellis Island records, even though my dad does seem to think that he would've gone to NY (but isn't sure). I have tried Di Narco, dimarco, dinarco, demarco, de marco amongst other combinations but still nothing.
There is a record for a Giustino Dimarco in the social security death index born around 1891, but i dont have much to go on to tell if that is in fact him.
And to my census question - I cant find anyone under his name in the 1910, 1920 census (though I don't have a subscription). Does this necessarily mean that he died before the census? Or changed his name?
If someone could help me or offer any advice I would be much appreciated! It seems I've hit a brick wall!

I think the 1930 census may not be him, as I'm pretty sure he migrated very near 1906, since my grandfather was born that year and has always told my dad that he never met his brother as he left in the year (approx) that he was born. Thank you for checking that for me though.
