Buono/Pietrafesa

[M.Buono]

Hello, I have reached a roadblock on my family tree. My Grandfather was Michele(Michael)Buono 1884- 1963, he was married to my Grandmother Giovanni (Jennie) Miglionico and arrived with my Aunt Mary in 1908 aboard the ship "Florida". He has listed as his Mother, (Maria Pietrafesa) on his passenger manifest. I cannot find any information on Maria Pietrafesa, Nor her husband (my Great Grandfather Buono). I assumed, because Maria was listed on the manifest, that she was here in the States to accept him when they arrived. they all came from Pignola/Potenza Basilicatta. Any help would be appreciated.

Usually on the ship manifest you name the person left in Italy. IE Maria, his mother. His father was probably deceased at the time which is why he is not named as next of kin.
