Different spellings for surnames
Is there a different way to spell Pinelli ? This is the way that we have always spelled it but I wonder if it could actually be different. Maybe Panelli, Punelli, Paneli ?
I want to find the immigration papers for my Great Grandparents and my Grandmother.

Re: Different spellings for surnames
Mike,
You can test various spellings using the Italian white pages telephone directory: http://www.paginebianche.it/execute.cgi ... i&dv=&l=en
Take a look here, as well: http://www.cognomiitaliani.org/cognomi/cognomi0014.htm
If you would care to share additional info (names, year of birth, place settled in the US, etc), we would be happy to see what we can turn up.

Re: Different spellings for surnames
I have no idea when they immigrated but I do know it was before 1924 because several of their 13 children were born in the US.
Great Grandfather is Mateo Pinelli
Great Grandmother is Rina Cardinale Pinelli
Mateos brother lived here as a fishmonger before the rest of the family came... They all lived in Buffalo New York but I'm not sure if this was their original city.
There were 2 of Rinas sisters...Sesunda and Secunda Cardinale...not sure of the spelling.
They opened a business in Buffalo...Is there a way to find that out too?

Re: Different spellings for surnames
Do you have an approx year of birth for Mateo?
Names of his children (at least some of the 13) would help to find a census record...
Names of his brothers, if you know them?

Another Buffalo Directory - 1956
Third column - Top - 3rd listing
Matthew Pinelli, wife Rena, painter, 409 Busti Av.
If Matteo (Matthew) was still living in 1956, there is a good chance you can learn the names of his parents and his place of birth from his Social Security Application...
You can usually find the SS# on his death cert., or you can request a search.
Order a copy of his application (SS-5) at this site online...
