Mattero/Mattera, RI & MA

Joseph is the English name for Giuseppe. It was very common to anglicize the name once our immigrants got to America.

I'm not so sure the spelling "Collela" exists in Italy but I may be wrong. I think the surname is either Colella or Coletta. The name Colella certainly still exists today in the town. It obviously hasn't been indexed correctly and/or there are mistakes on the actual manifest.

The spelling Collella and Colletta also exist.
