Dr. Paolucci,

Thank you very much! This is indeed outstanding information. I just shared this with my father and uncle and they are both stunned (they never knew their father had three sisters).

Two last questions since you seem to have the quick answers and then I won't bother you again.

Thank You Wldspirit.....It's pretty interesting stuff. Who knows, maybe after coming to the US he left to go back to Italy and then went to Canada......The interesting part in the manifest you gave is that he is married at the time (if this is indeed my grandfather).

Laura,

Thanks again!

Thank you!

Brian

My grandfather came to the US and then bounced back and forth between here and Canada until 1927 (according to his Alien Registration Form which I just got with his Naturalization Paperwork from the Dept of Homeland Security) when ...
