Family of Giovanni Mercuri from Montefalcone Apennino

[Topper]

VJ let me first thank you for your time and effort.
VJ his residence was 811 Second Street, Ellwood City, Pa. He may have purchased the house some time between then and the date of his first born son, Romie 10/29/1923. I think he resided with a relative by the name of Folino in Ellwood City until he married Italia. So this may account for the difference in the address.

Looking at the ships manifest on page 2 column 18, could that first word be Sister Mercuri Domenica followed by Bro Giuseppe Mercuri?

In Giovanni Mercuri ship's manifest, line 1, well it is a Giuseppe FRATINI coming from Montefalcone Appennino, cousin of Giovanni Mercuri , that joining at Giuseppe Mercuri cousin also, same address... also Giulio SISTI is a cousin of Giuseppe Mercuri ( line 2).. maybe could be helpful

Thanks Biff, you are absolutely right about his birth place of Montefalcone Appennino. After careful scrutiny of the ships manifest and the WWI dratft registration card, I have concluded that his family had apparently moved to Amandola which is a larger Commune, perhaps for work. Looking at the ships manifest he lists Amandola as his last place of residence. I looked up the logistics of Amandola to Montefalcone Appennino: Amandola is 10 miles west of Moletfalcone Appennino.
You are also correct Suanj about Giuseppe Fratini and Giovanni Mercuri heading for the same place. I also noticed that they originally had written Dunbar, Pa then crossed it out and wrote in Greensburg....Thanks

I was in the Marche region a few weeks ago visiting my family, including my name, Mercuri. My great-grandfather is from Force, in the Marche region. Montefalcone is visible from Force, since they are both atop hills.

If you wish you can contact me for more info.

Yes, I am interested in what ever info you have. My father-in-law was a very quiet man and never spoke of any family members to his children. I don't quite understand why. My wife or her brother know nothing of his family.
