I have the passenger manifest of my great grandfather Pasquale Tersigni I am having trouble reading 2 sections.
The first section is who sent him which states his parents but I cannot read the name of the parent written down, also I am having trouble reading the name of the person in the relative or friend he was to join.
The link below takes you to the manifest, he is line 5 the page before shows the friend/family he was to meet.

I had a look and I could only read the word 'friend' - nothing more. Sorry!

I do not have another Manifest, this one is a bit confusing. It appears at times that the lines dont match up. Boston could be a possibility, but he lived in Canton St Lawerence NY until he passed away in 1927 in that area. Ill check into the Boston area. thank you
