The information I have off the papers isn't much help. His declaration of intention and the petition itself have differing info as far as where he was from. The children he stated he had and his address is correct so I know it is definitely him.
The info on his declaration of intent; he was from Santancelo Cancello, Avellino [no such village as far as I know]. It says he was born, Oct 12, 1875 and that his last foreign residence was Santancelo Cancello, Avellino Italy and emigrated to the US from [Ferzo, France!!] with his lawful entry at New York City on June 1900 on the vessel G.
[He also says his wife was born in 1881[this is the date on her gravestone], she actually arrived in April of 1903 at the Port of Boston]
The petition [has the same correct information as the dec of intent] says he was from Montenvilletto [it's Montemiletto]and born Oct. 8, 1876.
Here it says his wife was born in 1885 and entered from NY. [again she arrived at Boston] It also says she was born in 1885[actually 1881] and arrived at New York in April of 1899.
He states he arrived from Montenvilletto, from Naples, to New York on July 26, 1899
Everything else on both these documents are the same, the children, his address, the name of his wife and the dates match the Naturalization Card I have.
I am not surprised that I again have conflicting information, but Ferzo, France is mind-boggling
My question is where do I go from here? I am trying to get his manifest but can't find a trace of him at Ellis or Castle Garden. I don't know how to ask for his manifest info from NARA because I have so little information to give them! I need some new ideas.
I wonder if he was tired of answering so many questions?
As far as the Mormon records, I ran a search they gave me nothing and there is no LDS library [or Mormons] where I live which is far from any major city. I live in the most rural of places.
THANK YOU
