I showed the census reports to my mother and she agrees that this is my great-grandfather. We are uncertain about the ship manifesto regarding the brother and sister though. We're going to have to ask my grandmother and see what she thinks.

Thanks everyone for all of this great info! I'm finally getting somewhere!

Have a great & safe holiday weekend.

Alicia, my name is Craig. You and I share the same great grandfather. He is Francesco (Frank) Paolo (Paul) Puntorno born 09-20-1880 in Montelepre Sicily, died 08-03-1973. He was married to Marie (Mary) Pisciotta born
03-10-1893 died 08-03-1973 in NY on Houston Street. Your grandfather (my grandfather, Orlando's brother) is Joseph Charles Puntorno born 10-06 or 16 (not sure) 1916 and died 02-19-1996. He was first married to Irene (do not know her last name) then to Betty Loft and then was with a woman for a while named Dolores. I knew your grandfather pretty good, he was a good painter and made jewelry, I have a couple of stones he actually cur himself. He lived in Hollywood Florida with Dolores for a while. My mother and one of your parents are first cousins which would make you and I second cousins. Who is your parent?? Joseph Jr. or Mary or Karen??? I am pretty sure it is Karen if you are in VA. I have her number, boy I should call her! It has been a while! I have tons and tons of family tree info for you. Cindy is a relative of ours also and the info she gave is correct. The info given to you about Francesco's siblings is correct and the census information is correct except for name spellings. PLEASE contact me at nutjob2@aol.com. I have the whole thing in an excel spreadsheet and can send it to you.
