Hi and welcome to the forum.

Catania is both a town and a province. Are you talking about the town of Catania or you're not sure?

Can you give more details:

First names of people you're searching
Years of birth
Years arriving in USA

Any additional information that you can give will help forum members in assisting you.

Regards,
Elizabeth

I am not exactly sure, but from what I have been told it is a small area or town.
Looking for Giovanni Tornatore Born 1886 Castiglione, Italy and Vincenza Camuglia born 1889 Italy..

I am not exactly sure when Giovanni came to America..but when his wife Vincenza came the manifest said that she was going to see her husband Giovanni Tornatore 119 Madison Ave. Albany, NY...Vincenza arrived Dec 21, 1910 with her daughter Antonina 1year old..last place of residence Castiglione, Catania...port of departure Naples...list of kin from Castiglione, Cantania it has her father Salvatore Camuglia...

Thanks

Looks like the name on line's 10 and 11 is either Sofia - Sefia or possibly Lofia - Lefia

Just a guess.

Melanie,
Do you have all of your family's census records in the US?
Sometimes you can find relatives living with your family or nearby.

Valarie,
I just have the immediate Family for Giovanni "John" Tornatore Sr. line...I know that John and his wife took in different people from time to time...on one census it has a Concetta and (child) Joseph Vecchio and on another it has Tony and Alfio DeMarco
