Maria Maruca family

[dgreen]

I am looking for information about a Maria Maruca who arrived in the USA around 7 years old in 1904. I don't have any other information.

Thank you to all who posted replies. The only information I had was verbal.
Maria Maruca married Angelo Amato in Buffalo, NY, though there is also story that Angelo's real name was Rudolph, (or Rodolfo), Capraro, born in 1895 and came to NY around 1913, "sponsored" by the Amato family.

How can I verify this?

No other details.....parents name? Brothers or sisters? In which state did she live? Was she married and to whom? Did she have any children?
When did she die and where?
No detail to small......

Using search criteria of last name only, all states, and birthdate of +/- 2 years, 1897, female.....found this census of interest, note immigration year of Antoinette....but this is only a remote possibility.......

Located same manifest, even with magnifying glass I cannot make out the writing........was unable to locate Maria in census using general search criteria.......not digging without further info from poster....could you make out anything, destination??????

Wish Ellis Island had the option HeritageQuest does........puts the background in black and the writing in white!!!!!!!

Well I had the same problem so now we wait for feedback to the info we posted and hopefully dgreen can answer some of the questions you asked...parents names, siblings, destination..

We tried!

it was a mislinked manifest:
vj
(right year, wrong age)
arriving 23 Jul 1904, SS Citta Di Torino, Napoli to NY
1904 manifest
line 13
M Angela Maruca, 50 (abt 1854), widow?,
last residence Falerno (Falerna, Catanzaro, Calabria?)
destination is a bit hard to read, joining son is crossed out & written over, could be b-i-l Natale Maruca in Anita (Jefferson County, PA)?
line 14
daughter Maria, 17 (abt 1887), single

[wldspirit]

Vj.....the majority of Maruca families were located in PA.........Maria could be on census under mispelled name....guess we wait for feedback....

[vj]

wldspirit, you're right, lot's of Maruca's to look at in PA!

[nuccia]

Great find vj...

thought it may have been mislinked because I swear I saw England as last place of residence but then again I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me..

Now..we can look!

If you are sure of the marriage location, I would send for this info.
You should be able to verify spouse's name, birthdates, birthplace and parents names.

This link should help in locating an address to send for documentation.
