Polito/Angilletta&Fuda surnames

[nuccia]

Ellis Island site seems to be down tonight. Can't view images or do any searches. I did however find to interesting names in the Philadelphia and Boston sites but I can't view them without a subscription. Same with the 1930 census.

Domenico Fuda arrived 1912 through Penns. 2 pass. listings
Domenick Fuda born 1893 in 1930 Census King, PA
Domenico Fuda arrived 1910 through Boston,
Francesco Fuda arrived 1921 throu Boston.

My dad said his mothers brother Domenico went to Penn. so this may be him. Can anyone help?
As always, thanks.

Will be posting them shortly....

Yes... Ellis site was also down Friday night....

Well Maria, after all that searching, it appears that this was most likely my grandfather afterall. My sister had a copy of his death certificate and it seems he was born in Ardore, RC and my dad suddenly remembers his grandfathers name was Rocco! I just can't read the name of who he was going to dee in Brooklyn. Can you or anyone read it. It was ? Vincenzo, his brother...maybe he was the one married to my grandmother and not Enrico.

Also, went to go see my great aunt on my mothers side who's 90 today. She filled me in on the Politos and Macchiones (her mothers side). It was a difficult but fun morning. She only remembers bits and pieces but it gave me a great start since I was able to piece alot of it together. I'll keep you posted.

Hope your holidays are going well!

I'm trying to view the manifest for Carmine Polito, John's brother but Ellis Island site shows me a different person then this. What do I do next? Is there a different site that I can check this out on?

Dr. Morse has given us a wonderful tool for this situation:

http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/EIDB ... index.html

First click on the ship's list page and enter the information you have from the index. (I find I sometimes need to add a day or two to either side of the date)

This will get you to the proper microfilm roll.

Then +1 frame will advance you page by page and -1 frame will take you back. Start at the beginning of the ship manifest and go through it by page until you find the entry. The one you want should still be on line number 28 of a page.

Not sure if this 16 year old is the same Francesco Bruno Angilletta you wrote about, the year of birth is very close... Any Rocco’s in your family?? Father in Italy would be Rocco.

As always, thank you Maria. I did try to look up Carmines manifest on Steve Morse site as Debbie suggestted but it was taking sooo long...I guess once one knows what to do its easier! I am sure this is the right Carmine but who is he leaving behind in Italy???His father(?) Domenico or his mother? My eyesight is poor and I have trouble reading Italian anyway.. I know Carmine did marry and John, never seeing his wife and children again, left his nieces and nephews everything he had when he passed away. I can't follow them after 1930 census but mom thinks John died around Sept 1954 on the day of her sisters engagement and believe it or not Vincenza died in 1959, when my mother announced her engagement!

On another note, made contact with Vincenza Macchione's family in Arizona! We haven't determined if their grandfather was Vincenza's bother or cousin yet but they are also researching the family so I have lots of names now!

Hope your Christmas went well and Santa was good to you!!!

Hi Erminia,

I think it does say "father" Domenico... Carmine would be ending up in Tacoma, Colorado.

On another note, made contact with Vincenza Macchione's family in Arizona! We haven't determined if their grandfather was Vincenza's bother or cousin yet but they are also researching the family so I have lots of names now!

Hope your Christmas went well and Santa was good to you!!!

Erminia

That's wonderful! You're doing quite well with the research... nice that you've made contact with paesanos in Arizona.

How are you keeping track of everything?

I have tons of little papers stuffed in a box ... from Kleenex, bus transfers, a hydro bill, church bulletins, you name it... with names and dates collected from just about anywhere.... genea software... a must have.

Santa was pretty good.... too bad he doesn't do dishes........

maria

[nuccia]

Oh Oh..I forgot about the dishes...I guess I should do those at some point today!

I think Carmine died in Sunnyside, Carbon Utah but I can't find Jon at all or any census for Carmen.YET!

I did however come in contact with someone from Hollywood California who funny enough, while researching his family has found relatives of mine(Angilletta and Fuda) What's even funnier is that HIS family lives here in Toronto and one of his uncles was my dads best friend! Small world, huh? He sent his family info. The power of the internet!

Is the Family History Centre in Toronto closed for holidays this week? I can't get an answer and was wondering if I needed an appointment to go or do I just show up?

[nuccia]

I have another ellis island dilemma..i can't view the manifests for

First Name: Domenico

Also, on the same trip is Francesco Caputo

Maria, if you remember from the census you linked, John Polito lived with Frank Caputo. Can you look this up for me on Steve Morse....I have trouble using his site (although I will attempt it.)

Thanks

[mfjp]

Hi.. just read your post... and the other reply...

Ok... will look for this manifest.. now that I am using Firefox as my internet browser... viewing these manifests is a breeze!

What's even funnier is that HIS family lives here in Toronto and one of his uncles was my dads best friend! Small world, huh? He sent his family info. The power of the internet!

Small world!! Nice that you can connect to people like this... but with our winters here... you wonder "why Toronto??"

Back soon...
Maria

p.s. am looking at the ship records of the Cretic... somewhat damaged...

[mfjp]

Looks like one of my boys closed up my internet windows while doing a search... can't leave the computer for one minute...

Created a link for the manifest...

Luckily the 3 (Luigi, Francesco and Domenico) were on the same page...

http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/8352 ... man2ud.jpg

Brothers Luigi and Francesco Caputo on this record would be joing his B-i-L Pasquale Macchione in Lackawana (sp?) New York...

According to the manifest, Luigi was in the USA from 1902 -1906

Domenico Macchione would be joining his brother Pasquale in Lackawana as well...

I don't know how long you've been in Toronto, but do you recall a Polito's Grocery store on Eglinton? As a kid, Mom would hand me her paycheque and I would do the groceries at Polito's by myself... quite fun when your a kid... luckily they delivered the groceries for us...

I also went to school with a few Caputo's on Vaughan Road...

So glad that you are following up on these guys... I kinda lost track of everything these last few days.. what we need is a review or a recap for this family.

Well... the weekend battle for the computer continues.. will check this post off and on today...

Can you help me answer these questions please?
Where is the library near Yordale and is it the North York library? Do I need to go in person to order films or will they do it over the phone?

I called the family history centres but they won't check over the phone if they have the films and you need to go in person to order, which is fine but its a long busride from my place so I am trying to find some easier way and the library would be perfect....(and I can shop with all that X-mas money)!
