Looking for Page 2 of a manifest

Post by vanscan »

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me locate page 2 of a ship manifest from Ancestry.com. It appears the pages were scanned one on top of the other...only the 1st page of the manifest is visible.

The person I am looking for is Saverio Iaccino. Arrival date is 27 July 1925, New York. Born in Italy in 1893 and his residence is showing as West Virginia, The ships name was the Conte Verde.

Thanks.

Hi,
On ancestry there are 2 manifests for the person you are looking for.
Try the manifest for the arrival on April 13, 1928.
There is a page 2.

Good Luck,
Joann

Hi Joann and thanks for your reply.

I already have the details of his April 13, 1928 manifest which places Saverio in New York.

My interest in seeing page 2 of the July 27, 1925 manifest is because I want to see who he was going to visit in West Virginia, the address he had listed as his residence, and who he left behind in Italy.

Thanks.

Van, I have scrolled through that entire manifest and cannot locate the second page. How frustrating!

A couple of comments:

1) This issue has come up before and it was learned that even the National Archives had access only to the same microfilm. The original documents have either been destroyed or are in one of those great big warehouses never to be found again.

2) The underlying sheet is in fact the second half of the manifest. If you look carefully at the column just to the right of the top sheet's edge, you see the word "Yes". This column heading is "Whether ever before in the United States and, if so, when and where" The first of three columns is then "Yes or No", the seond and third are "If Yes, Year or Period of years" and "Where". The point being, it seems clear that Saverio arrived in the US on an earlier voyage and thus he wasn't going to visit someone in West Virginia; he already resided in West Virginia, just as he says on the first page. I would spend some time looking for an earlier manifest and/or a 1920 census...


3) The person left behind in Italy appears in column 12 of the first page - his wife Rosina, in Dipignano.

Don't know if you have seen this info:

As they present themeselves (or fail to present themselves) for possible military conscription, their entry in the list is updated. Besides info on possible military service, the liste provides us the subject's date of birth and parent's names.

It appears that Saverio had an older brother:

I shouldn't do this stuff at 3:00 AM. :)

I just noticed that the Saverio listed above was born 10 years earlier than your Saverio. But, I am suspicious... With a relatively small number of Iaccino's in Dipignano, this strikes me as odd and causes me to wonder if Saverio lied about his age when entering the US.

Do you have any other information as to Saverio's parent's names?

In 1928 manifest, Saverio says his final destination is 28 Pine Street, New Rochelle.

See #24 Pine Street here:

Could this "Natle" (Nathaniel on another document), aged 51 in 1930, be Arcangelo, born March 2, 1878? Borther? Cousin? Uncle?

Hi Carmine

Thanks for the info but I don't believe the Saverio you found (b-1883) is the guy I'm looking for, for the following reasons:

- I have located 4 manifests for Saverio and he never lied about his age...all 4 manifests give him a birth year of 1892/1893.

- The earliest manifest I have shows Saverio and his father Santo traveling together to New York...arrival date is June 6, 1910. Saverio was 18 years old at the time which would give him a birth year of 1892. He also states his mother's name was Rachele which I know to be correct.

- Saverios fathers name was Santo Giuseppe (not Carmine), although I do believe Carmine may have been Santo's brother. I haven't found the link that connects them but I am working on it.

I am very happy :) to say that you did uncover another lead for me with the 1930 Census showing the Pine Street address. There is definitely some kind of connection between the Iaccino's...Saverios April, 13, 1928 manifest shows him residing at 28 Pine Street and the Census you found shows Nathanial Iaccino living just a few doors away at 24 Pine Street....perhaps a cousin or uncle?

Yes, I am aware of the Cosenza Portal. I have spent many hours looking through those records. Its a great resource.

It's a shame about the 2nd page of the manifest...so much valuable information is lost forever :(

Thanks again for your help.
