Looking for information on Alessandro porzio?

[anthony71688]

Hi I'm looking for information on my great grandfather Alessandro Porzio born August 1st 1894. I'm trying to find boarding information on him such as where in italy he came over from. It may have been sicily but I'm not sure. He came over to the US in or around 1910. I would also like to find out who his parents were. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anthony, I responded to you on the Casalvecchio post. Since then I did a little digging. Look at your GGM's profile at the SOURCES. I added links to Alessandro's birth/death/Immigration and to Baldassare's birth in 1857 in PIETRAMONTECORVINO.

and your GGGM Maria Raffaela Iadarola's birth in 1858 also in PIETRAMONTECORVINO

That would be him--birth date is off and his town of birth is garbled terribly

This is on ancestry and was actually free---surprise---and a new source for me---Thanks Marty!

BTW---many of the hometowns for the folks I've done a quick look at are waaaaay off their correct spelling!
