Filippo Lucarelli

[tedluke]

I am searching for any info on my Grandfather, Filippo Lucarelli. Sometime in the 1920's he changed his name to Philip Lukralle.
I've seen info on Ellis Islands site that indicates he came through Eliis in 1908, and also in 1911. I think he was from a small town outside Bari, called Toritto.

Hello tedluke

Is this the 1908 manifest for your grandfather, Filippo Lucarelli, age 1, traveling with mother Rosa Cavaluzzi, 26, from Toritto?

I have also found a 1906 manifest for Filippo Lucarelli, age 11, from Toritto, going to NY to join his father Giuseppe.

Hello, my father is Filippo Lucarelli from Toritto Bari.
He died in 1990 - not sure of his age - will have to check birth certificate.
He didn't ever change his name.

It's possible either of these could have been my father.
