Difficult to know if this manifest belongs to Domenic's wife Margaret
Interesting grouping of folks with Margherita, lines 82 thru 89
Includes two shoemakers including a 'Morello'
All from Girgenti
Line 89 could be a younger sister

Renting to a possible nephew? (same 1st name as Domenico's son, born in IT)

Wow, this is definitely him. He lived in Brooklyn, and all those children are the exact names of his children. Thank you guys so much. I'm going to go as far back as I possibly can on this line. Thanks for helping me get started! I wasn't even expecting so much info!

Just in case there is any connection between Antonio Morello (1892) and Domenico Morello (1873) from the 1930 census

My great grandfather Antonino Morello was born Jan 2, 1903, died Feb 14 1999. So anything mentioning an Anthony Morello before 1903 can't be him.
