Giuseppina Croce, age 26, single, from Pellagliata?? going to NYC to join his father Gaspare and mother Giuseppina... already in the U.S. from 1904 to 1913
[quote="pink67]I don't believe this arrival manifest is correct for "your" Celestina because looks like she was listed as "daughter" and travelling with her mother Croce Giuseppina ...joining Giuseppina's cousin Ferdinando Croce :
I agree that it's very interesting that Francesco Muzio was on the manifest, and that the 1920 census records note that "Irman" first immigated in 1903 -- perhaps Armando was listed as Francesco? Were those kind of mistakes common?
Armando may have started the naturalization process but never completed it. If this is his paperwork, it may contain his place of birth and/or arrival details.

This database is an index to Declarations of Intentions for Naturalization for the county of New York from 1907 to 1924. Declarations of intention are also known as First Papers.

This index to New York County's declarations of intent includes all given and surnames, and the Declaration volume and page number where the actual record of declaration may be found. Sometimes the Petition volume and page number is listed as well. Petitions are also known as Second or Final Papers. These records were submitted by individuals who had already completed their First Papers and had met the residency requirements to become a citizen. ]Like the declarations of intent, the information found on these forms varies between time and place, but still contain a significant amount of genealogical information."]
