Emidio would be joining his uncle Matteo Rinaldo (MAYBE Filomena's brother?)Born in 1888 in Fagnano-Castello, Cosenza of Francesco Sereno and Filomena Rinaldo. He claims he entered the US in 1908 but I cannot find any listing of him from any of the usual ports of entry.
Mother mentioned on this manifest is Filomena Rinaldo (a clue here... father Francesco wasn't mentioned as next of kin in Italy.... he could have died 1909 or sooner, or could have already been in the USA...)
