Assistance with Transcription

Post by M Taccia »

I am trying to read the name of the person who the passenger will be going to in America on a ship manifest.

The passenger is Guiseppe Marino, line 8. I can read the address, 54 Superior St., Chicago. Guiseppe traveled with two relatives, possibly brothers, Salvatore line 6 and Giavanni line 7. Their last names are miss spelled on the document.

Here is a direct link to the ship's manifest on Ellis Island -

I know the image is not easy to read, but I would greatly appreciate any assistance in deciphering the information.

Thank you so much.

Mariann

First Name : Guiseppe
Last Name : Marino

Welcome to the forum! :D I'm sorry, some how this post has got missed. I'm basically just bumping this for you so that someone can take a look at it for you.

On this page of the manifest I am seeing that four people are going to the same address: 54 Superior Street, Chicago. Three are going to visit their uncle Gaetano Rizzotta, and your Giuseppe Marino is going to see his sister at the same address and I think the name there is possibly just Marino. Another set of eyes would be great. (I can't save it to my computer to get a better pic.)

(For the third person, scroll down to No 12 Giovanna.)

BTW: I think that the surnames at No 7 and No 12 are Morabito, not mispellings of Marino)?
