Sorry, I missed the last part of your post. Yes I do have that manife
st. Giuseppa was my grandmother his wife. She was from Pietrelcina Campania. I think there was a connection between my great grandfather Carmine and my grandfather before they came to the US, I just can't connect it yet.

Thank you vj! I do have this information and have tried to find him in the 1910 census. Since he arrived in about 1908 I thought this might give me a hint as to what port he entered. I have not been able to find him on that census. Thanks for your help.
