I'm an Italian boy

Ok, so we keep looking...we'll see if something matches up.

What about the Artuso manifest I sent this morning? Does anything sound or look familiar? And the newspaper article...what did you think of that?

We need to find the right family before we can find the relatives still living. Do you remember any first names other than Giovanni and Francesco for bothe the Meduri's and the Artuso surnames?

Francesco,

I wouldn't rule the 1910 census of Frank Meduri out just yet. The Malavenda's are from Gallina too and this person, Elenora went to Lyons Mountoun Clinton New York (where she was born originally) to be with her uncle Antonio Malavenda. Frank is living in Clinton with an Antonio...

Both Giovanni's went to see Francesco in Lyons Mountain..it somehow connects. We just have to figure it out.

Here's the manifest for Elenora.



First Name: Eleonora
Last Name: Malavenda
Ethnicity: USA Born
Last Place of Residence: Gallina, Italy
Date of Arrival: Jun 19, 1914
Age at Arrival: 25y Gender: F Marital Status: M
Ship of Travel: France
Port of Departure: Le Havre
Manifest Line Number: 0005

She is travelling with Giuseppe Malavenda from Gallina going to see his brother Antonio.

Let me see if I can find Elenora or Giuseepe on a census and see if anything pops up.

Orion,

Have you had time to go through the information we posted yesterday? What did you think?

Do you have any new names, cities, or information that would help us find your relatives in the US? Sometimes even the smallest bit of information can make a difference!

Let us know!

Sorry, sorry. There is the time zone. I'm reading now your messages. My grandfhater told me some names. COSTANTINO, CILIONE, ARTUSO. He don't know they exsactly, but my grandfhater told me that these ARTUSO OR COSTANTINO OR CILIONE were already stayng there. (Quando il mio bisnonno arrivò, i suoi parenti(ARTUSO O COSTANTINO O CILIONE) vivevano già lì da tanto tempo. Perciò, secondo me, bisognerebbe guardare questi nomi tra il 1882 e il 1900.

Hi Orion,

Here's a link to the white pages in New York. If you insert a surname(and first name if you know one) and then the state, you can find people with the surnames you mentioned living there. Maybe you'll get lucky and something will register.

Thank you, Nuccia. You are a beautiful person. Non so esprimermi bene in Inglese. Però ti ringrazio veramente tanto per il tuo interessamento. Sei stata una persona molto gentile. Non devi preoccuparti per me. Adesso vedo se riesco a trovare qualcosa. Hai fatto pure troppo per me. Se un giorno dovessi venire a Reggio Calabria, ti farei da guida. Call me Ciccio.

[nuccia]

Your welcome, Cicco!

If I make it to Italy I will look you up and we will go have Gelato!
