Re: Numbers on Manifest

I actually have the original naturalization document. What info could I use from it to continue my search? I know it has an address on it. How could I use that to find more info?

Who traveled with my three y/o grandpa?

I found my grandfather (Barbarino Scavuzza) and his brother (Anthony Scavuzza) at ellisisland.org but who traveled with them? There is a female listed with them on the manifest but I am having trouble reading the name. Can anyone help? Any info from the manifest would help.
