I believe my great great grandfather emmigrated to the United States around 1872. He was born about 1848, and settled in West Orange New Jersey. I'm not sure what town/village he came from in ITaly. If you can help me find any info on his italian citizenship and naturalization it would help me ...

I have information that says John and Elizabeth bossi of west orange Nj had two children in the 1900 census, but that only 1 is living. How can I find out about this other child?
thanks Mariabeth
