GIUFFRE

Post by DJay75 »

Looking for info on my grandfather Leonardo Giuffre from Termini Imerese, Sicly. Born in April 13, 1907. Came to Canada in 1921 by himself on the Cretic that sailed from Napoli.
Thanks,
Dave

Wow it worked...okay to be more specific, I'm trying to find his birth certificate to find out what his parents names were and if he had any siblings.
He has on his manifest that his grandmother Giuffre/LaCavera was his nearest relative.
He came to and settled in Toronto.
Here's the manifest...

Hi Nuccia,

Thanks! You are amazing...that's it. I didn't realize he came to Boston. Very cool. I wonder if his "friend" Giuseppe is also his father...check this out.

. Matrimonio 21-Feb-1906 2014483 40 Giuffre, Giuseppe Giuffre, Leonardo LaCavera, Carmela Vazzana, Rosaria Vazzana, Pietro Calderone, Provvidenza .

Sorry about the format that came out. But i think this may be his father...

Thanks again! Let me know if you find anything else out. Like Siblings etc...

So he came to Ontario...Toronto right? Did he also die in Toronto? I live here and may be able to find something out for you.

I'm going to check the manifests for Giuseppe and see where he went to try and connect something.

I forgot to mention that his name was changed to Jeffrey when he came to Canada. Leonard Jeffrey would be on his death cert.

The funny thing is, none of my Aunts and Uncles knew exactly how his last name was spelled. They thought it was Guiffre, but if you look in the Italian White Pages in Sicily you won't find one on the site. You will find many Giuffres though.

I found all of this out form years of research...

I linked it..meaning I posted a copy of the manifest using an image hosting service...see the blue that says Leonardo Manifest? Click on it and you can view the manifest. I viewed it through ancestry.com which is a paid for site. In order for others to view it I had to link it unless they have a subscription to ancestry.

Here it is again..
