Anyone ever heard of this surname Chingola. One of my ancesters married a italian womend and this was her maiden name. They also lived
in queens county NY.

MAYBE ... the surname should be Cingola... which would sound like Chingola..

Maybe the census taker used a "soundex" form when filling in the surnames...

Only 2 Chingola show up when doing an Ancestry.com search...but more when I do a Cingola.

Here is an example of a Cingola... I don't know who he is though.

Philadelphia Passenger Lists, 1883-1945 Record

Hi Marzilla,

Had a look at the visual manifest and the surname is Cingolo and and not Cingola as transcribed...

Town is Torre del Greco... (this is what is shown on Andrea's manifest mentioned above..)

-------------------

Here are just a few Cingolo's found on the Ellis data base...

1 Cingolo,Aurello Toriedel Greco, Italy 1911 9 1902
2 Cingolo,Cristofaro Toriedel Greco, Italy 1911 11 1900

If your person of interest is not on this list, please give details... I am sure someone will look it up for you.
