Thanks again, Vincenzo. Your help is greatly appreciated. I don't know what we would do without people like you.

Your Friend,
Karen

Thanks, Vincenzo.
Do you think the bottom of the record is important? Should I try to get a better copy of it?

Take care,
Karen

(I hope I am doing this correctly so you can read the record.)

Can someone help me read the names of the parents for Antonina Poma?
Is Giuseppo a name or is it Giuseppe (as usual)? and Vita Narto, I think?

Also, is the handwritten part on the bottom of the record important?

Thank You!
Karen ...

Nazca, you are pulling my heart strings! It is my dream to someday visit the home where my grandfather grew up. Even the aerial views of the cities are beautiful! Palermo looks wonderful, too, but I love the smaller towns, and the history and the people and, oh my... thank you so much for your ...

Thank you nazca. I couldn't find one either. I suppose the two you found are possibilites, but I still think the passenger's list was wrong and it should have been Mt. San Giuliano instead.
I liked the web site you referred me to. It is interesting to note the 5 most common names in some of the ...

Thanks, Peter, I appreciate your clarification. Your definition of a frazione helps. Could M S Giuseppe be found on an older map maybe?
Grazie.
Karen
PS: I'm going to be spending a lot of time on angelfire.com. Great site! Thanks again

Hi, Vincenzo.

I think you are saying M S Giuliano is now called Erice,
and M S Giuseppe, Castelluzzo, and San Vito Lo Capo are communes around San Vito - something like townships around cities in the US. Do you know were M S Giuseppe was located before the war?
I'm just trying to figure out why ...

My grandfather was born in Castelluzzo, Trapani, Sicilia. According to the 1907 passenger list when he left from Palermo for the US, his last permanent address was M S Giuseppe and that he was born in Mt S Giuliano. At first I thought maybe records were kept in Mt. S Giuliano, but no, they were kept ...

Perfetto! Grazie, Livio.

Ciao!
I’m trying to read at least 2 lines on a 1907 Ship passenger list and would appreciate some help, please. (I hope it is large enough to read!)

I would hope someone would be onboard to chaperon. I would think it possible for a child to be traveling with friends or cousins of the family that we might not even know about.
Thanks for all the feedback.

Gosh, You are right! The number appeared on his certificate of arrival when he applied for citizenship in 1931! Thank you, Master, so much for taking the time to explain it to me!

Peter,
My grandfather had a number written above his occupation as a laborer (8-47458) on the ship's passenger's list when he came to US in 1907. Could that have possible been his Italian passport number for some reason? Or do you know what else the number could be used for? Ther are 3 other men ...

Hi, Peter,
Would Italian minors have been consided an adult at 18 or 21? Was it the same for both males and females?
Thanks, once more.
Karen
