Orlando

[fffresco]

Looking for any info on the name Orlando. My great-grandmother was born in Castropignano, Campobasso on March 16, 1883. Her first name was Felicia (Felicella). I also believe her husband, Luigi Orlando (same last name) came from the same town. I know they didn't marry until the came to the USA. Her mother's maiden name was either
Molinari or Molinaro and her first name was Carmella. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that Felicella's family (parents and siblings) were living next door to her and her husband, if you look at the 1900 census manifest:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/ima ... 0420_00602

you'll see this family living on the number 60 of Monroe street (Luigi and Felicia were living on 63):

I believe this may have been the 1893 arrival manifest for Carmela Molinaro (travelling under her maiden name, considering that here in Italy women keep their maiden name for all their lifes even if married) and her children Felice age 10 male (possibly Felicia, female) and Sabato Antonio, age 9 male (Sam on the 1900 census):
