Ghiloni

[Suni]

My great grandfather was Sabitino Ghiloni, he married an Annie Magri.

Sabitino, known as Samuel came from Lucca, Italy?

My grandmother's obit listed her as having sisters: Mrs. Mary Bounchristiani, Mrs. Jennie Cecchini and Mrs. Teresa Mazzoni; also a brother Giuseppe.

I believe Teresa's husband's name was Cesare?

I am hoping someone can help me connect the dots.

Thank you! I do have the 1930 Census copy for Samuel. His son Harry was my grandfather. Eugene F, was my uncle Fred. He never went by Eugene.

I am greatful for the passport info. Teresa's picture looks familiar, I'm hoping I can match with an old photo I have with no name or description.

My goal is to find accurate Birth dates and their parents names. This is a great start.

[PeterTimber]

Your goal of birth dates and parents names can be located at the town of origin. Go to http://www.angelfire.com/ok3/pearlsofwi ... tters.html

My grandmother's obit listed her as having sisters: Mrs. Mary Bounchristiani, Mrs. Jennie Cecchini and Mrs. Teresa Mazzoni; also a brother Giuseppe

Correct spell of the lastname was Buoncristiani...
From http://www.ellisisland.org/ here is a 1911 arrival from a trip to Italy for Mary and her son Thomas :

she stated she was leaving in Italy (Lucca) her mother Filomena Margherita

Possible Mary Buoncristiani's husband was Pietro/Peter Buoncristiani, he was born in Orentano, today an hamlet of the town Castelfranco di Sotto (Pisa Province - Tuscany region)

Edit to add details:

I believe the Magri's were born in Barga (Lucca Province)
Do you believe this 1909 arrival manifest could have been for a return from a trip to Italy for Giuseppe Magri and his wife teresa?? He stated he was born in Barga - Lucca and was joining his sisters Gioconda and Teresa in Pawtucket RI.

If the arrival manifest is correct he stated his father (Antonio?) was living in Filecchio, an Hamlet of the town of Barga

Thank you! You have most helpful and I am smiling from all the new found info.


"she stated she was leaving in Italy (Lucca) her mother Filomena Margherita Exclamation"

According to my info Annie's parents were 'possibly' Anthony and Philomena Magri. This info was listed by the informant Joseph Damiani. How does this all fit together with
Can I assume Filomena and Antonio were the correct spellings of the parents names? In the USA they changed spelling to match the phonetics.

[Suni]

Sorry... What I was trying to post was "Who is Joseph Damiani? The Pawtucket, Rhode Island, USA archives has Joesph listed as 'possible Annie fathers? I believe that Anthony and Filomena are! PLease correct me if I am wrong.


Thanks
Suni

she stated she was leaving in Italy (Lucca) her mother Filomena Margherita

If the arrival manifest is correct he stated his father (Antonio?) was living in Filecchio, an Hamlet of the town of Barga

Well... no doubt these persons are your ancestors...

Of course their names had been "americanized" but Anthony is for Antonio and Philomena is for Filomena (possible Margherita was her middle name)...
just to do a little resume, the Magri's we found for sure were:

Teresa (married Mazzoni) born around 1860
Gioconda (married Cecchini) born around 1869
Mary (married Buoncristiani) born around 1871
Giuseppe born around 1870

Anna (married Ghiloni) born around 1882 Don't you think it's a little big the difference between her birth and the others Magri??

Suni, I noticed that in the 1920 census Samuel had his brother Fedele Ghiloni living with him...
I searched something about him and found out that his wife was Annunziata Magri:

This is the 1901 arrival manifest for Annunziata Ghiloni (age 26) and her child Giovanni (age 5) and Leonello (age 4).. they were coming from Barga and going to Pawtucket to reach their husband/father Fidele Ghiloni:

http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0018

please note that they were travelling also with Marianna Magri (a few lines above) , single age 21, from Barga. She stated she was in the U.S before, from 1898 to 1900
I believe this girl should have been "your" Anne Ghiloni (Samuel's wife)

This is because I found a later arrival manifest (1920) for Annunziata Ghiloni (Fedele'wife), she was widow, was travelling with her daughter Nella (possible the Leonello on the 1901 arrival manifest was a female). She was coming from Barga were she was leaving her sister Gioconda Cecchini and was joining her son Giovanni in Chicago and stated she was in the U.S. before (to 1903) in Pawtucket RI:

page 1:
http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0005

page 2:
http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0005

So, possible Annunziata was another Magris and the real name for Samuel's wife was Marianna Magri(shortened in Anne?)

Suni

I'm right!!!
From http://www.ellisisland.org/ this is a 1907 arrival manifest for Marianna Magri (age 27), travelling with her daughter Jole (age 5), from Barga (leaving there her father Antonio ) and joining her husband Gheloni Sabatini (mispelled) in Pawtucket RI (she stated she was in the U.S before, from 1900 to 1904?)... Note their names arre crossed out, so they didn't travel on that ship, there must be another subsequent arrival manifest:
