Onorato's in Philadelphia, New Jersey

Post by tfs985 »

Hey folks I am looking for cousins named Onorato...I'm pretty sure they are from Philadelphia but they may be from Hammonton, NJ. Could you look for an Origlio-Onorato, Bucci-Onorato, Ruggerio-Onorato, or a Gugliotta-Onorato marriage in these areas. Thanks.

BirthPlace: Italy
Relation to Head of House: Head
Spouses's Name: Camelia
Household Members: Name Age
Anthony Onorato 46
Camelia Onorato 41
Lewis Onorato 74

Name: Neil Onorato
Home in 1930: Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Age: 34
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1896
BirthPlace: Italy
Relation to Head of House: Head
Spouses's Name: Kingetti
Household Members: Name Age

Enes Onorato 23
William Onorato 21
Jemina Onorato 19
Eleanor Onorato 17
Lillian Onorato 12
Rita Onorato 10

Any of these look familiar ... do we need to look at Census prior to these?

There are 111 Onorato listed (not all these are head of family) in NJ on this Census, but none specifically in the areas you are listing ... I can list them if you are interested, but it'll take some time since there are so many of them.

I'll post the actual images of these Census listed if you tell me you need them!

Thanks for the research...none of the names look familiar....they could be family but I only know of a cousin named Mike Onorato.....there is a Mike Onorato listed as being born in Philly and resided in Cherry Hill....so if you could tell me Onorato's from Cherry Hill, NJ I could correspond with my grandpop and see if he recognizes any names. Thanks again for the help.

You can find this information here ... I keep it up to date ...

http://bob.fornal.org/Genealogy/Genealogy_001.htm

... or, summarized ...

Request an SS-5

The SS-5, Application for Social Security Account Number, contains the following information: Social Security number, full name (including women's maiden names), address at time of application, employer and employer's address (pre-1947 applications only), age at last birthday, date and place of birth, parents' full names (including mother's maiden name), sex, color, and whether the applicant had previously applied for Social Security or Railroad Retirement. It also contains the application date and the applicant's actual signature. Wouldn't you like to have this information about the person you are researching?

Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), SSA will fulfill requests for applications of deceased persons for $7.00, if you provide the Social Security number. If you do not know the number, the search fee is $16.50. Be sure to include the person's Social Security number, full name (including maiden name and name at death), sex, date and place of birth, date of death, and parents' names. Provide proof of death, or state that the person is listed in the SSA Death Master File. Include the following statement: "Microprint required - Printout not sufficient." (Otherwise, you may receive a computer-generated printout instead of a copy of the original application.)

Mail your request and payment to:

Social Security Administration
Office of Central Records Operations
300 N. Green St.
P.O. Box 33022
Baltimore, MD 21290-3022
