I was able to locate my Maimone ancestors 1900 and 1910 US census records. They took some time due to misspellings of names, but I found them...yeah! By doing so I discovered that my great-great-grandparents came to the US in 1899 on the EMS. In the US they were known as Antonio and Maria/Mary Maimone, however on their ship manifest it has him listed as Donato Maimone and her listed as MA Rosa Le Vigue. Both from Roccanova, Italy. I am sure that this is their manifest because it notes that they were going to stay with their son Prospero in Birdsboro, PA. A very small town in PA where my great-grandfather Prospero Maimone resided. I am thinking that the "MA Rosa" may be short for Maria Rosa, but I am confused by her last name. Does this look French, not Italian? Are you aware of an Italian surname close to this Le Vigue name that could explain a misspelling? The link to the manifest is below. Thank you!
