Yep Yep Yep. The image I am using is from that same manifest, right off the site. You might be confused since the record is pointing to the next entry for the next person as the city of origin (look closely).
I didn't want to put the whole damn page in here, since it would be pretty hard to read the thread.
And, the reason i'm not 100% sure it's him is that Laudani is semi-common, and wrecklessly misspelled at Ellis.
It's LIKELY him, given:
- The window of time he arrived
- His age at arrival
- The fact that he's Sicilian
- That he was going to Boston
- His future wife may have been from Pedara
- Tons of Laudanis live in Pedara today.
I think I will investigate that city first.
However, if anyone else has an idea if any city like "Vedano" exists in the South (just in case) that would help (until I get records, otherwise).
