Hello,

I am researching my bio grandfather born 1897 - 1898 in Cosenza Italy or nearby village. He was brought to America in 1900 at the age of two by my family. He was adopted by my family at some point. I am trying to find out who his parents are. I have the ship manifest thats about it.

Can you post his birth name (if known)..?

Post the ship manifest.

I do not know his birth surname. My DNA shows several 2nd - 3rd cousins ranging from 123cm to 243cm these all have a common ancestor Biegliano or Buliano in their trees. My grandfather was either adopted or just taken in by Antonio Lupo and Teresa Lupo All the ship manifest shows is Alfredo traveling with Teresa Soda, Antonio was already in America

Family Search transcribes last place of residence for Teresa and Alfredo as "Figline" on the ship manifest. What does it show for Antonio on his ship manifest?
