[Amansolillo]

Are Lucia and Saveria present in any records following their immigration?

Cemetery record for Saveria Pepe Mansolillo and many Mansolillos buried in the same cemetery:

I tried searching for Lucia and Saveria in censuses from 1925-1940, but I've had no luck. I even tried searching Saveria with the last names Mansolillo and Pepe. Could you guys help me out?

[Amansolillo]

Lucia and Saveria may have lived in Boston at some point. Also, Saveria also used the name Maria.

This is the 1940 manifest for 73 Gesler street (the address Maria Saveria Pepe gave on the naturalization's declaration of intention on august 1940):

But I don't see her name

I think I found Lucia...

I noticed that on the 1921 arrival manifest for Lucia and Maria Saveria there are two naturalization marks for them both:

Mansolillo Lucia: 1 - 392193 - 5/2/42
Mansolillo Maria Saveria: 1 - 286012 - 2/21/40

So I checked the Rhode Island indexes to naturalization and found this:

Rhode Island, Indexes to Naturalization Records, 1890-1992

Name: Mary Russo
Birth Date: 13 Nov 1901
Birth Place: Panni, Italy
Naturalization Date: 22 May 1944
Record Type: Index to Naturalization Petitions, 1906-1991

Address: 73 Gesler Street
Date and port of arrival: New York on 18 february 1921

I think she was Lucy

I have to correct the records I found...

I found this book online :

Alphabetical Index of the Births, Marriages and Deaths Recorded in Providence
Vol. 22-2 Marriages 1921-1930 Part II Kelly - Z

http://onerhodeislandfamily.files.wordp ... 1-1930.pdf

and tried to find Lucia and Maria Saveria Mansolillo's marriages records...

Apparently there's no record for a marriage who took place before 1930 in Providence for Maria Saveria BUT found also that Donato Russo married a Maria Sullo on 17 november 1923.
So, Maria (wife of Donato Russo) cannot be Lucia Mansolillo....
I found that a Maria Sullo from Panni travelled on the same ship "Guglielmo Pierce" arriving in the port of NY the same day of Lucia and Maria saveria Mansolillo. What a coincidence!

Then found a possible marriage record for Lucia:

Mansolillo Lucia and Michele Schiavone on May 19, 1928

So possibly her married name became Schiavone...

I apologize about the mistake... too many coincidences made me think wrong.
