Wow, amazing and interesting. Now I know why my Aunt was named Bernadetta (Americanized version). How were you able to trace this information? I would like to seek their siblings as well.
Thank you so much for your time in this matter. I did attempt your website and will try it another time with a translator
Thanks again.
Sincerely yours,

I have found this information in Ancestry.it. If you want to visit my web site, it has also an English version.

Off the boat story: I was told as a child and then some that we have relatives in Argentina, the story is told as they got off the boat and could not afford to get back on. Has anyone heard of this? or is it a tall tale?

Arlene the story sounds distorted and contrived to satisfy something or somebody. When Immigrants go to an incoming receiving immigrant nation like Argentina there is work, menial or otherwise and in early turn of the century years fares were not exorbitant. I woujld consider this a tgale suffering the ravages of misinformation. =Peter=
