Boston Arrival 1907 Ship Romanic or Canopic

Post by DeliatheCrone »

I've seen a file card listing Saverio Andrea/Andrew CATANZANO's arrival on 9 January 1907, and a census record from 1920 that says he immigrated in 1906. Although all other males listed on the file card arrived (on various dates) on the ship Romanic, the card specifically says that Saverio arrived on the Canopic. FamilySearch.org also lists his arrival ship as the Romanic, although the Canopic is clearly visible on the card.

The census record also says Saverio's wife and two eldest children arrived in 1906, but they are not listed on the file card. His wife is Francesca Luisa/Louise Patella, and the children are Salvatore (2) and Maria Filomena (0). (Those are their ages at arrival) There are several more children on the census.

I cannot find a passenger list for either Saverio, Francesca, or the children. Not at Boston, anyway. Can anyone here assist me in my search for these records?

Thank you so much! I hadn't even considered that the surname might be misspelled.

My apologies... my typo
The name is spelled Catanzano, with an "n", on the manifests.

No problem. Although I HAVE seen the name Catanzaro - in the New England area, in obituaries where the given names and spouses correspond correctly. So perhaps it is sometimes misspelled.
