Thank you for posting it on there. I wasnt sure how. I tried to put the link but it was a mile long and you couldnt open it.
See there it says its a male, but ellis island says female. I guess it doesnt matter either way because Im sure they would have changed there name once they were here and I have no way of finding out what it is. One of my relatives from Genoa, Italy said that name is so uncommon in Italy and hes suprised to even hear it. So Im sure they used a different name here.
You know Im not sure of that relation or if its Luigi or Louis the father or a son. I have seen the name Sigmund tied to Giovanni and Michele when they becamse natutralized. Sigmund was the witness. So I know there is a relation but not sure how. Where did you find that Luigi and Sigmund lived together?
Home in 1920:
Bronx Assembly District 8, Bronx, New York Sigmund Bavelotta 41

You guys and gals are awesome! Thanks you! There is no son named Sigmund who came over with Luigi. I wonder if one of his kids changed there name to Sigmund when they got here. I know its not Michele or Giovanni. They went with John and Michael. But he had a son Francesco who probably went with Frank. Unless Epifanio is a boy not a girl. I wonder.

This may be Sigismondo Basilotta b abt 1878-81, arriving after the rest of his family.
It may be possible to confirm this record with his naturalization documents. 1897 manifest

You may want to look for census records for these folks - it may be your Epifania Basilotta b abt 1879-81

Messinia Mariano Dec 25 1900 21791 (1900) Manhattan Basilotti Ebifania Dec 25 1900 21791 (1900) Manhattan
As far as sigmund...is it common for one child to come over by themselves AFTER the rest of the family came? And what kind of manifest is that? It doesnt have much info as far as dates on and ship name.
The marriage link for Epifania would make sense. How many Epifania Basilotta could there be. She was born in 1880 so the date of birth would be right. I dont see anything in the cenus for her, before or after marriage. The only trace of her Ive found is the ship manifest

It was not unusual for family members to travel separately.
Depending upon his birth date, he may stayed behind to fulfill his military service in Italy.
Early manifests didn't have much information on them.

In its most general sense, the term genealogy refers to the study of family history, while encompassing such related fields as ethnology, onomatology and --in rather few cases-- heraldry. It is important to bear in mind that genealogy forms part of the framework of general history. The best genealog...
