Hi Holly!

Do you know if Michelina too was already married?

I found an interesting 1902 arrival manifest for a Michelina Ariesti (maybe mispelled?), coming from Faeto, age 30 (so, approx, birth year 1872)...
She stated she was going to rochester NY, to join her husband Antonio Spinelli living on 699 Washington street, Bridgeport C. (maybe Bridgeport CT?)

HOLY TOLEDO!
You are amazing. The butcher job of the name is the worst I have ever seen!

[hollygianfrancesco]

I found the 1920 missing census.

Laura,
I am having trouble reading the manifest for my Grandmother. How far are you from Faeto?
Holly

[pink67]

How far are you from Faeto?

very far..... 500 miles more or less....

I suggest you to write a letter to every "potential" relative in Faeto....
I checked the whitepages site for Italy and found out there are only 11 Agriesti listed....

http://www.paginebianche.it/index.html

digit Agriesti in "cognome" and Faeto in "dove"

Form letter:
