Yes, there is a connection!! I have Guiseppina (Josie) Palumbo as being born in September of 1893 but it could be 1892 - I have only the census record and those always have approximations or errors.

I have a total of 12 siblings but some died, so 10 could easily have been correct at some point. I ...

I've recently found a whole ton of Gentile Palumbos in Chicago and Ohio, 2 of which I've been able to link as siblings to Antonino. I'm wondering if many from the same family went over and did the Gentile to Palumbo thing or if maybe their name actually was Gentile Palumbo in Italy and that not all ...

Yep, I have got that one. Yeah, there is later a birth record that says one more child is living than has been born, so that makes sense. How does Ignazio change to Mattie?

Thanks again! Yeah, I have seen that date on the war record.

I have read about the Mormon centres but I haven't been to one yet. So the microfilms could be there and then it is free to use them, yes? But if they are not, one must pay to have a copy sent?

I have been told that much more could exist ...

Wow!!! This is all VERY interesting!! I do, indeed, have Giuseppe's (Joseph) birth certificate - he is my great grandfather. ;)

I had searched Ellis Island before but I guess I am not experienced enough. The age for Antonino is wrong by a few years but I've seen that one change on different ...

Hi,

I have been working to track down my Italian lineage but the trail goes cold with only a few names in Italy but I have been unable to find more.

My second great grandfather came to New York in approximately 1891 (according to census records). His name was Antonio Palumbo, according to census ...
