Thank you so much. I have his Italian birth record which says Giuseppe.

I’m going to try to get the ship manifest he immigrated on to see which name he used, but unfortunately it’s not online, but microfilm in a closed library :/

I just wanted to reply and say thank you so much. Turned out this is NOT my GGF, but rather his first cousin, as Filippo Piraro is my GGGF’s brother (Salvatore? who lived next door at #6!

It’s taken me a while to build out the family tree, but this was a big help.

Thanks again!

My GGF was born March 24, 1877 in Cefalu and his birth record states his name is Giuseppe Piraro, named after his maternal grandmother, but he always went by Nicolo (his paternal grandfather’s name).

When he came to America, he uses Nick/Nicolas on his documents and gradually changes from Nick ...

I’m looking for assistance translating record #54 on the right hand side.

Thank you for all of you help! I’m terrible at reading this beautiful handwriting.
