I have some microfilm from Valledolmo that I will be going through in the next few weeks and I will definately keep my eyes peeled for any Carmelo Pulvinos!

I don't think we're talking about the same Carmelo Pulvino. My Carmelo was born around 1848 and he married a woman named Antonina Palermo b. around 1848. However, maybe your Carmelo is an older ancester of mine? Where's your Carmelo from?

Thanks to one of the posts on here I got a lead to finding out that my mother-in-law's Grandpa, Pasquale Pulvino, came across through ellis island under the name of Pasguale Pulveno.
