Sarseiao
Has anybody heard of a town/place called Sarseiao? My great grandfather listed this as the town of his birth, but so far I can't find anything even remotely close to that name.
Please HELP!!!

Re: Sarseiao
I looked here, nothing jumped out at me. Perhaps you can look through the S's and see if you have better luck.

Re: Sarseiao
I have found a place named Sarsenio on Ellis Island, but I can't find it anywhere else.

Can anyone shed more light on this?

Great find
How about 'S Arsenio'
Sant'Arsenio, Salerno
The WWII Card could be SARSENIO

Re: Sarseiao
Thanks, no luck. The only thing I can think of is that the town sounds like the way I spelled it but is written differently. Whoever wrote the town name on his records must have done it phonetically.
Re: Sarseiao
Gosh, you're good!!!!!!!!
D'Amato is one of the top 5 names in that comune.

Re: Sarseiao
VJ,
Yes, that's my great grandfather. Someone else mentioned S Arsenio too. I saw that previously, but no Pietro D'Amatos are listed from that area on Ancestry.com or FamilySearch.org

Re: Sarseiao
How would that be pronouned in Italian? Would it be something like Sar-sayn-yo?
Re: Sarseiao
One way that may resolve his place of birth would be to order his SS Application ($27)
Valarie
Social Security Application SS-5
His SS# is available here if you don’t already have it:

Re: Sarseiao
VJ posted the WW2 draft card that lists the town of his birth. If anyone thinks that may, in fact, be S Arsenio, let me know.
Re: Sarseiao
The manifest might give his last town of residence, or port town rather than town of birth. Take a look at these manifest to see if any may be a possibility.

Re: Sarseiao
VJ,
I submitted a request to the SS Administration via the link you provided. I certainly hope that his parents names appear on the documents. That has been a dead end for a long time.

So far I've been very lucky with the requests that I've made.
Although I don't believe proof of any of the information was required, folks seemed to have done their best to fill out their application carefully.
