Finding my husbands Great Grandfahters amily

[bougie1107]

I am starting to research my husbands family, I am hitting a dead end on Charles Sutera I believe he may have been from Scicca, Sicily born around 1865 coming to America in 1884 according to the 1910 US Census. He lived in Broklyn and the family then ended up in Hoboken, however I only find him on the 1910 Census and can locate no passenger records anyone have any suggestions. His wife appeared to be named Vincenza 6 chidren my husbands Grandfather being James. Thanks

Yes this is the family I had this one August was my father in law,.

[bougie1107]

My sister in law said she thinks Charles may have been married three times, I guess each wife died, which would explain the Luna in the 1930 census, however if you look at the census it said Luna is a M unless it is an error in the census which we know happens. I would love to find Birth records or Christening are those hard to come by?

Ordering records from the NY City Archives is very easy.
You're right if you could find a birth record, or daughter Vincenza's or son James' (Vincenzo?) marriage record they should have their mother's maiden name.

If you haven’t used these, they may help you locate New York City records (there may be transcription errors in names):

Hi Valarie
What great finds! Charles' first name was tricky.

Going with your suggestion to try an find Vincenza (daughter) marriage record...
Following marriage was recorded in Brooklyn

Triola Vincenzo Apr 21 1912 Kings 3679 (James Trilo?)
Satera Vincenza Apr 21 1912 3679 Kings
Karen,
You can send away for this marriage record for a small fee from NYC Vital records. You can do this online...

Thanks you are good at this I have been searching and nothing comes up like this on Ancestry.com..Once I get some of this caught up I need to switch to German I have been having a years worth of road blocks finding my Great, Great Grandfathers birth town and records! But I love doing this. Thanks again Karen

[Tessa78]

We're glad to be of help

Good luck in your search...

[bougie1107]

Ok you have all been a great help, however I would really like to try and find tha location of Charle ( Accuso's) birth and his parents name. I am also coming up with no death records for him. My father in law always said taht his family came from Sciacca Sicily.

[vj]

Hi Karen,
You may want to go ahead and order the marriage record for daughter Vincenza
She and her mother may have travelled to the US under her mother's maiden name (this was usual if not travelling with her husband)
Since their manifest is later (abt 1898) it may give their last location in Italy
Valarie

Here's an example:

15 Dec 1897 SS Trojan Prince
http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/7209/1897w.jpg
lines 23-24

Vincenza Magro 28, abt 1869
- last residence Sciacca
- destination Brooklyn NY
- joining husband Accursio at Nass (Nassau?) Av
(Note: this is unusual for the husband's last name not to be listed, but many of them are missing on this manifest)
daughter Vincenza 3, abt 1894

[bougie1107]

WOW you are good how and where do ou find this stuff???
