Pamela, you asked
"I have still not been able to find your reference to a sister for Luisa. is it under a different last name?"
(Reply for Nuccia)
on the first page of your post, Nuccia has links for the ship manifest
try this page (1 of 2) lines 23-25, then column 11 for sister in Italy.

Re: COMMITO family from Raiano, L'Aquila
Pamela, you said
"i now need to trace them back to Raiano for Lousietta and i have no clue where Grandfather Angelo came from."
It's a good chance your grandfather Angelo Commito (b 1881) was also from Raiano.
Although several of us have been looking for his manifest & 1910 census, it's likely that this is his cousin from Raiano joining him in Chicago in 1910.

Re: COMMITO family from Raiano, L'Aquila
I've filled the extract form out..mind you its 2 am so I hope I didn't make too many mistakes..should be getting ready for work...Should have used spreadsheet but hopefully it helps anyway.
Keep in mind, on the original manifest there are some markings which I can't read..the passenger travelling above Louisa..person of interest perhaps..a cousin?

Re: COMMITO family from Raiano, L'Aquila
Nuccia, thank you for the full documentaiton. i have printed outthose forms and will start filling them in. If you want to email the sheet here is my address pjdoitnow@yahoo.com
VJ, I now see where Elisa is listed, I kept missing that there was a second page. Thank you! I think I have the manifest for Angelo from 1909 and he might have missed the census of 1910, and then died in 1918 so he missed the next one in 1920.
on the 1930 census my grandmother shows two boarders...so now I understand who Uncle Pep was (Peppino).
This should make the Italy trip even more fascinating!

Re: COMMITO family from Raiano, L'Aquila
Ciao Nuccia!
I have had much success in the last two years finding family thanks to you and your help in research. I am still doing the genealogy but am stuck. I have ordered my Grandfather's death certificate from Chicago (Cook County) as I had always been told that he died in the Spanish Influenza of 1918. They have no record of his death!
I am wondering if you had ever come across the 1910 census records? I now know he was born in Vittorito, L'Aquila, Abruzzo and I have been to the Comune in Raiano and verified his Marriage record... but still no death.
suggestions?
thank you in advance,
Pamela Commito

Re: COMMITO family from Raiano, L'Aquila
Ciao Nuccia,
I spoke directly with the genealogy people in Chicago and sent them the # of the record that I had found, and then they found it and have put it in the mail.
The next BIG problem I have I am praying you have some advice. I have my Father's death certificate, Marriage Certificate and my birth certificate: and for his whole life he signed everything Mario Fiore Commito.
this week I received his Birth certificate and his name is listed as: Mario Angelo Giovanni Commito!
Would it have been a common practice to use your Grandfather's name as your middle name, despite your birth record? How do I resolve this with the Comune when I submit my documents for citizenship?
the Angelo you list in your email is my uncle... Nonno died in 1918, Angelo in 1944. The record lists the name as Comito, so it is misspelled. Do you think I can get that corrected, or do I even need to?
as always, any help is appreciated. Pamela

Nuccia,
I have not heard back from you. I hope your visitors had a wonderful time!
I was reading the thread again and I see you have not found the Ellis Island record for GF Angelo Commito. I am working on dual-citizenship and am having trouble finding the date he came from Italy to USA. It should have been prior to his wife, who is listed in 1911.
I am leaving for Raiano, Abruzzi on Friday (4 days from now) and wondered if you had ever foudn the manifest? I have the copy of his cousin, Cesidio, but am puzzled about the 1910 Census and the boat records.
Appreciate any help
Pamela

Hi Pam..
It's been a busy summer and yes, my company has gone home ... sadly! I haven't done much researching though.
Congrats on the success of at least half your search and on being lucky enough to travel to Italy for a few days. Wish I were in your shoes right now!
About changing the name - you're looking at most probably quite of bit of time and expense to change the name back to the original spelling. Because the person is already deceased I know it's much harder and has quite a bit of legal issues involved, but I don't know the specifics. I have heard for some, it has taken years. How much truth to this - I'm not sure.
