Help needed in locating relative arrival...

[Mardi]

Looking for information on Carlo Lee Dimicelli. The only information that I have is that he was born July 03, 1898 in Corleone, Sicily. He could have arrived in 1900 or 1901, do not know which port. Have not been able to locate him on a Census.

Also do sure if spelling of his name got changed, once he arrived in the US

He married a Jennie, in Houston, Texas February 02, 1930.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Mardi

[vj]

Probably Carlo's ship manifest
Traveling with his mother to Morgan City (St Mary) LA
Joining his father Gaetano
1918 WWI Card nearest relative is probably 'Gaetano'
Son Thomas born in 1932 is probably named after Gaetano

possible 1905 manifest

May 1905 SS Vincenzo Florio, Palermo to New Orleans
Lines 19-21

Antonina D'Antoni 32 (abt 1872)
- last residence Corleone

vj.........you are just great. So the family was traveling with their mother and she was using her maiden name......

Thank you so much and have a great day........because you have made my day.
Mardi

Mardi,
I'm so glad we could find it .
Women in Italy keep their father's surname.
It wouldn't have been until after she arrived in the US that Antonina would have started using her husband's surname.

Hi Biff !
Simone, what a great idea - I bet you're right.
Great finds for Jennie.
I thought I had 1920 in Houston for the DiMiceli's by looking for son Luke b 1910 +/- 1 yr, the census pages are mislinked on ancestry 8O

Valarie,

Based on some searching, I believe that Jennie's maiden name might be
Trumbaturi which is found in Corleone.

[Mardi]

Mardi,

In another thread from last year, Valarie suggested you try this free site. If you haven't done so, search Texas Deaths for surname "Trombatore" and "Dimicelli". There are a number of records pertaining to these families that will help fill in the blanks in your family tree.
FamilySearch Labs

For example, here's a death certificate for Carlo's father.

I am actually Mardi's cousin, and was the one looking for the infomation. I guess what I am looking for now is help with finding when Gaetano Di'Micelli came over. he obviously came before Carlo and the rest of his family since that's what the previous manifest says. So if anyone could help with that i'd be soooooooooooooooooo happy. I am trying to put together a family tree for the Di'Micelli side of my family since we already have the Trombatore side. Any help you coudl give me would be AWESOME!!!

Thanks!
