Can not find records
Can not find records
This is my first post. I'm not able to find my father on any manifest or any other records. His name was Nickola De Caro, born in Palermo in 1889. Can someone help?
Re: Can not find records
Two possibilities:

Ship Name: Moltke
Port of Arrival: New York, New York

Assuming here that he immigrated to the USA? If you can provide more detail we may be able to find records confirming the manifest above or another...
Names of either parent? State in which he lived? Spouse's name? Children? Any known birth dates, even a year can be useful.

Re: Can not find records
I'll have to ask my sister on that one. She's older, and may remember more details. I know he was married before he met my mother, and he had other children.
Thank you, Vince

Re: Can not find records
It's interesting that my father may have been from Corleone and not Palermo. I know Palermo is where the ship left from. I think the language difference may have contributed to misunderstanding and mistakes may on some of the documents my father singed when he arrived here in the US.
As to where he was in the 30's, I don't know, but he and my mom lived in San Francisco in 1942. My father met my mother in New York, and drove to California. My fathers alien ID says he was born in or near Palermo.
I'm going to try and see if I can find anything about him or his family in Corleone.
