Tessa78,

I think that is it! The birth date is in the range, the location and Name look good. Thank you.

Do you think it would be confirmation if there was a record for the brother that was on the same ship's manifest?
Salvatore Romeo - 1890-1892

Wow, that happened so fast. Thank you.

[Tessa78]

Here is Salvatore as birth act...
Perhaps a cousin, not a brother?
No other Salvatore Romeo in that date range.
