Granelli from California

[aiescavol]

Good morning!
I'm looking for Jack Granelli, born 28 march 1911.
I know that was born in Italy but I don't know where.
His father Giovanni was born in New York in 1885. How I can see where was born in Italy?

Jack Granelli death in Sonoma, CA, dec. 1980

Thanks!

If his death certificate does not name his place of birth, you can use this info to order a copy of his application for a Social Security card. That should have the info you are looking for.

The manifest at Ancestry is difficult to read, but the place of birth given looks to me like Parma Car.... Maybe someone here can decipher it for you.

[DebiHarbuck]

Let me see if I remember how to do this: should be both pages of the manifest; your family is lines 20 - 23.
