Lucia

Post by aiescavol »

Hi!
I'm looking for Francesco Lucia, born in 1885 about. He married Maria Zungone and emigrated in 1908. I don't know where he was born, I know that her wife was from Maida, Catanzaro.

Thanks!

Where and when did Francesco marry Maria?

Where did they reside in the US? Children's names and years of birth would be helpful as well.

Frank Lucia was born in 1885, and her wife in 1885 in Maida.
I know that had a daughter, Carolina, born in 1907.

I don't know where was born Francesco Frank Lucia, I think he married in MAida (city of wife) in 1906 or 1907.

If accurate, Frank and Maria were both born 1885 and all three (with Carolina) immigrated in 1908.

Well, I am having a hard time finding Francesco's manifest, but we can make certain assumptions:

Carolina was born in Italy and was 6 months old ("6/12") when she arrived with her mother on the last day of February, 1908. Backing up, Maria must have given birth September'ish, 1907 and gotten pregnant in January'ish, 1907.

Since Francesco was already in the US when Maria and Carolina arrived, he must therefore have come here between January, 1907 and February, 1908.
