Re: Immigrants to south america
Sorry that you had to wait for assistance. There are 3 PETTONI listed in the Argentina telephone directory at www.paginasblancas.com.ar
There is a listing for the arrival of 1 PETTONI (no more information) arriving in Argentina. The year is unknown.

Hi Kevynne,
I know a lot of the immigrants went to Mendoza, but that wasn't the sole location for Italian immigrants to settle in.
Do you know what occupation they were in? My husbands grandparents were farmers and had experience with grapes and wine in Italy, which is what they ended up doing for a living in Mendoza.
Aside from their huge wine industry, Mendoza also underwent a huge irrigation & agricultural project in planting and rearing vegetation.
Good luck. Sorry I couldn't be of any major assistance.

There is an 1869 and 1895 National Argentina census available online at www.familysearchlabs.org
When you get on that website, go to records search. Then go to browse our collections and click on the map for South America. You will see what Argentina records are currently online there.
