Barresi Andrea - information about immigrants in US

Post by barresima »

I just found out that my great grandfather Barresi Andrea emigrated in New York. All I know is related to the list of passengers: he arrived in april 25, 1905 sailing fron Naples on the Marco Minghetti ship and went to live in 444 East 13th street. Other relatives came too in 1906.
My question: is it possible to find other information about his life in US? What did he do there? Did he obtain Citizenship? When did he came back (he died in 1956 in Italy)? Photos?

P.S.: Sorry if my english is not so good

Here is the information about Andrea's arrival. It lists his last place of residence as "Castrocale" - would this be Castroreale, Messina?

It appears Andrea Barresi traveled several times from Italy to New York and back.

Thank you so much for this information, I didn't know he traveled several times.
He married Antonina La Spada in Italy in January 17th 1907.

Is it possibile to find other information about his stay in New York?
