the birthyear is wrong, but I am positive that is the same Agostino Pulicicchio of above records....

Yes, I believe this is the same man as the one who died in 1978. However, haven't found the right birth certificate in Lago. His daughter said he died in Pennsylvania. Also, he might not have come from Lago.

My grandmother said she was born in Brazil. However, the 1920 census says Italy. Searched through microfiche at the LDS library yesterday and couldn't find her birth in Lago. Did find her older brother's. So still need to find hers.

Couldn't find Agostino Polichichio's either. Though there were plenty of Polichichios. My Aunt said he may have been born up north and moved down to Lago.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will certainly check into them. Would be awful if the man were still alive and no one knew it all those years.

I was told someone had posted a family tree on ancestry for an Agostino Pulicichio. Going to try and contact them to see if we have the same relations.

I think once I find his birth certificate this will be a big help. I know for sure that the 1920 census with the name spelled incorrectly is the right man because it shows who he was with at the time.

You're right, this is a mystery. Will keep you posted if I find anything more.

Again, THANKS!

the ship's manifest normally, it is very accurate.. also the WWI draft registration card; so the birthplace seeming Lago; but it is possible that he was born in Brazil and when the family back in Lago, it was a registration of Agostino birth in Lago also; in this case, the birth registration can be between 1890 and 1911 when Agostino emigrated; but no doubts abt Lago, just to try also in other birth years, and if is a tardive birth registration by foreign birth certificate you can try in the last part of the Lago birth registries ( really: second part), where was registered the births in other italian communes or birth in foreign countries..
however I think that the above records are abt your ancestors and maybe by death certificate you can find more details.... he had SSN, so he was no inmate, just had a bad period of life...

Thanks for all your help, I'll be continuing to search this out. I don't mind if he had a period of difficulty, no matter how long. What would be sad to me is that he lost his family in the process.

I know that the other members of his family used the name Pulice. I'm going to try to tie one of them to him or to whoever he turns out to be.

Thanks a big bunch!

[suanj]

yes.. it is sad...
