Dr. Ilia Galleani 1897-1979

[JamesM]

Ilia moved with her family to America around 1901.
I have found her census records and death.
I believe she was born in Pantelleria but so far I haven't found her birth. There are other frazioni besides the comune of Pantelleria on the island but those records are not available for her birth year.
I tried to open her naturalization record online but the image is not loading properly when I do.

Could anyone either find the naturalization record or her birth?
Also her arrival in America around 1901? I don't know which port of arrival. I presume she would have arrived with her parents, Luigi and Maria Rallo and a half brother, Salvatore. Maybe another sibling too.

[JamesM]

Maybe I found the birth record.

Her father is not Luigi Galleani but her mother matches.

This is the other post I made for her mother's marriage

I can't find a death record for Dante, Ilia's father.
I wonder if he used the pseudonym, Luigi Galleani in America.

The father in the birth act of Ilia Lucia Antonietta Tessiere that you posted is the same man in the marriage act I translated for you in your other post.

The birth was about a year after the marriage.

What is your source for Ilia's surname being Galleani?

Can you post the link to the census records?

Here is the 1910 census in Barre, Vermont

Ilia is in the 1920 census in Massachusetts with her mother and siblings.

Here is a link to Luigi Galleani's wikipedia page

Thank you for the information and links.

Here is the image of the naturalization Declaration of Intent for Ilia Galleani (in Massachusetts)
Ilia gives a date of birth as 28 April 1897 in Pantelleria.
I checked the 1897 births... there is no Galleani birth.
This could be an error of year. I believe that the birth act you posted above for Ilia Tessiere (birth on 28 April 1896) is the same person.

Thanks for the naturalization.
It must be the same person as Ilia Tessiere.
Place of birth is the same and date of birth is within two weeks.

Yes, I agree. I just posted that above
The birth date of Ilia Tessiere is 28 April 1896 - the document date/presentation date is 2 May 1896.

Here is an interesting ship manifest from October 1901 - on the Oceanic arriving NY
Passenger #187: Luigi Galleani - occupation listed as Traveller - age 29 (which is listed in column for single, male, foreigner)

And here is a declaration of intent to naturalize by the above Luigi Galleani

Birth record of a daughter born in Vermont in 1909.
Mother's name is listed as Maria Ralla Errea -
NOTE: I located the Publication of Marriage Banns for the marriage of Maria Rallo and Dante Giovanni Terriere - and noted at the bottom is that one of the documents presented for the marriage was the death act of the first husband of Maria Rallo - his name was Giuseppe Errera.
It is curious that Maria lists this surname on this birth act. MAYBE she travelled to USA under that name. I will search.

Here is the birth of Ebe Mentana Myrian Galleani in Barre, VT

It is mentioned in the information you linked about Luigi Galleani, that when he married with Maria Rallo she had a son Salvatore from a previous marriage.
This looks like a naturalization for that son - Salvatore Errera - born in Pantelleria on 18 August 1887 (before
marriage with Dante Giovanni Tessiere)

Giuseppe Errera and Maria had one son Salvatore born 10 August 1887
Salvatore passed in 1976 in Massachusetts

Maria and Luigi had 4 possibly 5 children.

Ilia - Italy
Cosserya - Italy. unsure of this name
Olimpio Luigi but I have seen it as Olimpia Luigi - New Jersey
Ebe Mentana- Vermont
Rosalina Balilia Bruno - male child - Vermont

[JamesM]

Maria Rallo supposedly passed in 1935. I figure in Massachusetts but I can't find anything of her death

[JamesM]

In the 1920 census, Wrentham, Mass, lists Maria, Salvatore Errera, Ilia, Cossyra, Alymfio, Balilla and Mentana.
Salvatore b. 1887 - d. 10 Feb 1976 in Mass
Ilia b 1896 - d. 1 Feb 1978 in Florida
Alymfio matches with Olimpio Louis b.1902 in NJ - d. 9 Sept. 1982 in Florida
Mentana matches to Ebe Mentana b 1909 - d. 25 May 1990 in London, UK

I can't find a trace of Cossyra b. 1901 in Italy or Balilla b. 1 Oct 1903 in Barre Vermont

I read something interesting.
https://libcom.org/article/galleaini-lu ... t-his-life

Luigi Galleani was a publisher of a newspaper called Cronaca Sovversiva in Barre, VT
He was arrested in Barre in 30 Dec 1906 for an incident in 1902 in Paterson, NJ.

It is said he was using an alias from 1903 after returning from Canada. Yet one child born in 1903 is using the surname Galleani. This seems to reflect the name Galleani may be the alias.

His son born in Paterson, NJ, Olimpio Luigi, doesn't come up on any searches for 1902.
I wonder if he was born with a different surname or my search criteria is not correct.

[Tessa78]

The ship manifest I posted from October 1901 for Luigi Galleani appears to match the following statement in the article you referenced:

When he landed on these shores, in the fall of 1901, shortly after Czologosz' execution of president McKinley, Luigi Galleani was in the prime of his life. Ten of his forty years of age he had continuously spent either in jail, in relegation or in exile.

To me it makes no sense that he began using the alias Luigi Galleani in 1903 when he travelled with that name in 1901.
Further in the article it does reference his escape to Canada, and the following year came to Barre, VT under an assumed name. My thoughts...NOT Luigi Galleani, since the police in Patterson NJ were looking for him.
Just my opinion.

You have this index of the birth of Olympio?
Olimpsio E. Galleani
in the New Jersey, U.S., Birth Index, 1901-1903
Name: Olimpsio E. Galleani
Birth Year: 1902
Birth Place: New Jersey, USA
Father:
Luigi Galleani
Mother:
Maria Galleani

After re-reading it I agree with you

[JamesM]

I didn't find that index for Louis.
On his death record it lists Louis Eliko Galleani.

I also found whom I believe is Cossyra.
There are immigration records from 1932 and 1934 for a Cossyra Galleani Rivarola
