I don't yet have a birth record found for Mary, but across a dozen records i've seen her birth year reported anywhere from 1902-1904.

I have a handful of DNA results that also point to this family, so I am fairly certain I'm on the right track, Just not sure how to request records from the Comune.

Yes the name is Innocenza on this list. She is listed on the 1915 NJ Census as Noncenzia after she married her second husband Tony Scelza. You can See her daughter Mary (Corsino) was born in Ohio. https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/2755042:61558?ssrc=pt&tid=174248213&pid=25227...

Of course. The family in question appears on lines 20-24 on this passenger list:

Hello, I am looking for information on my gg grandmother Vinenzia Calidonia born about 1882 in Sambiase Italy. Her husband Andreae Corsino was also born in Sambiase and I believe he came over to the US prior to 1902 and settled in Columbus Ohio. I found a passenger list that has Vincenzia and her tw...

Laura I received the birth record today. Unfortunately it is not the correct one. The parents names are Giuseppe and Marianna and the sex of the child is Male, named: Liberte Mirra.

I am still planning to look into Angelina's birth record as well.

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks Laura! I just sent away for a copy of that certificate, hopefully I will know soon. I found a death certificate for one of Raffaele and Gelsomina's children that died in Philadelphia in 1902. Perhaps during the time of the census they were in the process of moving from NYC to Philadelphia, no...

Hello, My great great grandparents came over to the united states in the 1890s. I have my gg grandfather's (Raffaele Mirra) ship manifest that says he came to the US in 1892 by himself. My gg grandmother's (Gelsomina Amato) ship manifest has her coming over in 1897 with her 3 children. (Letizia, Col...

thank you very much

I just received my gg grandfather's death certificate (NJ, USA) and am having a hard time making out the maiden name of his mother. This is not a translation, just wanted to see if anyone knew of a similar Italian surname.

TIA

I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but what is the benefit of having dual citizenship?

lilbees, Thank you for your help. I am going to say this Raffaele is the one that matches the ship manifest that I have, but I am starting to think that it is not my gg grandfather. I searched the family search website images and cannot find the birth records for any of his children, and no marriage...

lilbees that would be great. thank you very much

thank you - Jim

The earliest information that I have on my paternal great great grandfather Rafael Mirra is that he was born in Castellammare di Stabia, Campania, Italy on 29 Sep 1860. He Emigrated from Italy to the USA on 13 Dec 1887 via the ship 'Chandernagor' that left from the part of Naples. His passenger list...

Thanks again
