Searching Pignataro family

Post by Kdevening »

My late father was an orphan in Chicago. Before he passed he found his adoption papers listing his parents as Oreste Luciano Pignataro (b.12/10/1908-d.1/07/1984) and Abby Youmans.
Oreste arrived at Port of New York on December 12, 1920 at the age of 12.
His siblings were Eduerdo, Nilena and Ernesto. I cant seem to get any further then that. Especially the lineage to Italy. Can anybody direct me correctly or help?

Not sure that the owner of the family tree on FamilySearch is the same as this poster.

Maybe not Tessa. You could be right.
Even better then. All the details are there at hand. :D
And there is a Randall Philipp Devening who probably was the late father of our poster.
