Hello and welcome to this forum-

you can order Vincent's application for his social security card which will have his parents' names on it-

VINCENT PALMISANO 16 Jan 1914 Aug 1977 (not specified) 95472 (Sebastopol, Sonoma, CA) SS# 439-18-9614

There is the online application at the following website:

https://secure.ssa.gov/apps9/eFOIA-FEWe ... t/main.jsp


or you can go to www.rootsweb.com and type in his name and generate a letter to be mailed for the same info

I see that Vincent was on a 1920 census in Louisiana living in Jefferson and that his father's name was listed as Augustine. I see that info on the website:

www.familysearchlabs.org

but the census image is not there.

Augustine was 33, the daughter was 8, and Vincent was 6. He was a laborer in some kind of yard, but I can't make out what the census says

I don't have a subscription to ancestry.com, but I do see that there is an August Palmisano on a passenger list to the Port of New Orleans. Possibly someone can upload a copy of that manifest for you, in case this August is your ancestor.

Actually, even though the census record isn't clear, it looks like Augustine was born in Louisiana.

I'm happy you didn't have the info that I found. I also wanted to give you the following website which has vital record info for Louisiana. There are a lot of people in the birth, marriage and death indices (indexes) with the Palmisano surname. I even see a 1958 marriage for Anthony August Palmisano.

http://www.sos.louisiana.gov/tabid/640/Default.aspx

There is also a passenger manifest option you can search, in case you need that as well

You can search the Palmisano surname on the above website. There are a lot of entries for New Orleans, which may or may not be connected to your ancestry. I don't believe the August Palmisano born in 1879 with the parents Angelo and Grace are yours. I saw them on a 1910 census record as well and they did have a son named Vincent, but he was older than yours.

I believe I see the family on a 1900 census with your Augustine. Go to www.familysearchlabs.org

Go to the third August Palmisano and click on his name. You can then click on the census image at the upper right of the screen. You will see your Augustine with his entire family

I found Augustine and Amelia Palmisano on a 1910 census. They were married but had no children at the time. They were enumerated with her parents.

Head of household was a Fredonio Kniepp, age 40, born in La.
Wife, Emma, age 36
having trouble reading the two daughter's first names
Then there is Amelia Palmisano, age 17, daughter of Fredonio Kniepp
and son-in-law Augustine, age 24

There are all zeros for the number of years married for Amelia and Augustine and number of children, so the marriage must have taken place in 1910.

ED 26 Sheet 14 B 1910 census Jefferson Louisiana. Hopefully someone on this forum will be able to upload the census images for you.
