Help needed in locating relative arrival...

Over 25 million Italians have emigrated between 1861 and 1960 with a migration boom between 1871 and 1915 when over 13,5 million emigrants left the country for European and overseas destinations.

Thank you guys for all your help. My cousin and I are also searching if Gaetano Di'Micelli had any siblings that also came to the US, prehaps at the same time. What we have found out was that his wife's name was Antoinette Dantoni. and she arrived with her two sons in 1905.

Biff, I tried to open the Family Search Labs, but got a message that Application is unavailable.

Thank you vj and Biff. My little Cousin, was so excited with the information on her Great Grandfather......she joined the forum.

Hi!
Sometimes FamilySearch Labs is temporarily unavailable
http://search.labs.familysearch.org/rec ... 7819#start

When it first went online it required a one-time registration

Having trouble locating Gaetano's manifest
Will check for siblings

okay. so I have it confirmed all of Carlo Lee's siblings are as follows
Lucy Maria
Luke John
Mary Elizabeth
Angelina Cecilia
Sam/Simone (I do not know Sam's Middle name) but he was born 2 years before Carlo in Italy

I was also told that the only two that were married were Carlo Lee (my great grandfather), and Sam.... Interesting stuff!!!!!

As for when Gaetano came over.... I am still unsure, but I am working on finding out if one of my paw paw's siblings know. I talked to my Maw Maw today, but she was unsure and Paw Paw wasn't home :-( It's not like I can just got sit down with them and talk this stuff through because they live in Houston, TX, and I live in Los Angeles, CA so the distance makes it a bit of a challenge. So I appreciate everything you have already done, and all the help you have given me.... from the bottom of my heart, Thank you again!!!!

OHHHh and one more thing....

I believe Gaetano's Fathers name is Simone, and his mother was Lucy Pomilla..... at least that's what the death certificate says.... so hopefully that will help a little bit.

I talked to my paw paw today and found out some pretty interesting information that explains some things.

On the Manifest from 1905, You know how we were a bit confused about my Great grandpa's first name. Well as I was telling him all that was on there, he goes OH MY GOSH THAT"S RIGHT.... his given name was Calegro (only he said it the Italian way)... so my Great Grandpa's name WAS Calegro... which explains why it said that on the Manifest. My great grand father's older brother's name is Simone (Samuel). So we DID find the correct manifest!!! so thanks SO MUCH!. My paw paw is going to look to see if he can find the name of the ship from Gaetano's boat becuase he believes that he has it.

As for the one census we were confused about from 1910, with all my families names but the last name as Marcharie.... Aparently my Great Great grandfather came over to American from italy to work for a man by the name of Sam Marcharie. My Great Great grandpa's family lived on a duplex with the Marcharie's. So we believe that is the reason why their names are written that way is becuase they DID live with them.

My Paw Paw also said that his mother(Jennie) and father(Carlo) married in 1930, which explains why there are 2 separate census for the Dimiceli's.
Also one more thing.... the reason why there are discrepencies on the Birthdate of Carlo, is because they believe that he did not have his birthday right, that he iddn't actually know his birthday, and they believe he may have been a year and a day older than he said he was. They have had to try to figure all that out, but there was some sort of problem with knowing his ACTUAL birthdate.

SOOOOO... I guess that kinda solves most of the mysteries for now. He and I are going to try to figure some more of the information out. I sent him a link to this Forum so that he can see the actual pictures of everything you guys found. He is VERY excited. So again, thank you SO MUCH for all of your help... and if there is ANYTHING else you find, if you could post it on here, that would be absolutely amazing!

:-)

THank you!
