Please help me find info on my relatives

[TBarbetta]

I was able to trace back the paternal side of family, but I can't find any records in Italy or info coming to Italy for my maternal side. I was told the following information but I am not able to verify in order to track back further into Italy. THis is the info I know... Thanks in advance for any help.

My great grandmother Giuseppina Risciguolo (they called her Josephine in America) was born in Italy to Domenica and Francesco Risciguolo. We believe they were from Calabria. Francesco was married prior to Antonia Iannuzzi who died in 1893. Guiseppina was born to Domenica in 1893. Francesco and his first wife had 2 children, Christina and Francesco who remained in Italy but no info on also.

I was told Giuseppina came to America in 1909 from Calabria at age 16. I suspect she came with her mother Domenica since Domenica lived and died in America. Giuseppina married my great grandfather Nicola Barbetta in 1910 in America at St. Anns.

Thanks for any help in finding info on that side of the family. I hit a brick wall

Here is a copy of husband Nicola's naturalization record in which he gives his wife Giuseppina's birthplace as "Cosenza Donato Nasca"? I haven't been able to determine the town based on this information.

Closest place I could find thus far for Giuseppina's town of birth is San Donato di Ninea in the province of Cosenza.

I think it might be the town of San Donato di Ninea province of Cosenza and the surname might of been changed from Rossiguolo

Giuseppina's 1957 Pennsylvania death act:

Birthdate: 15 Jun 1893

From the death certificate, her father's surname was Iannuzzi and her mother's surname was Risciguolo/Rosignuolo. Father's surname could be Innocenzo; mother's Domenica.

[Biff83]

Here is the birth act from San Donato for a Giuseppina Iannuzzi, #66. Based on her death certificate, I believe this is your Giuseppina.

Born on 25 June 1892 at 5:20 pm in a house at Via Chioso?
Parents: Innocenzo Iannuzzi, 48, a farmer and Domenica Rosignuolo, a farmer.

I was able to find the ship manifest for Giuseppina and Domenica list here: C:\Users\tbarbetta\Desktop\Domencia-Giuseppina Ship Manifest

The manifest says Domenica went to her sister "Rosa" in Bristol Pa. We have no history of a Rosa. I searched and didn't see a Rose. Can anyone help? Thank you

Sorry here is the ship manifest

[Biff83]

I haven't been able to locate the manifest on Ancestry but this is a two page manifest. Wherever you found it, you can view the second page by advancing to the next image. This will give you the name of the person that Domenica and Giuseppina were going to in Bristol, PA. This could be another relative.

YI, the notations on Giuseppina's manifest line indicates she naturalized in 1942 in the Philadelphia office of the INS.

I'll check to see if I can find anything on Domenica's sister Rosa.
