Looking for Tirabasso surname in Campobasso

[newgenie]

Hi!

I know my great grandfather Nicola Tirabasso was born in 1892 I believe in Campobasso. He married Concetta Sabetta (don't know when) who was born in 1895.

He came to the US in 1904 and she arrived in 1907.

I'd love to know where exactly they came from, birthdays, parents, etc.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

Welcome to ItalianGenealogy!
Where in the US did they reside? Name of spouse and children? What US documentation have you obtained?

By providing this information researchers will be better equipped to locate an exact town of origin,.....records are kept on a local level as opposed to a state level......once found, you can send for documentation!!

Let's see,

They lived in Cleveland, OH.

Children's names were Maria Theresa, Josephine, Nick Jr., and Angela.

I only have Josephine's birth certificate and baptismal certificate.

I also have a copy of the 1910 census.

[newgenie]

You've got it right Val.
That's the information I have.

I put the wrong birth years in my first post. He was born 1882 and she in 1885.

Thanks for the ship manifest suanj. The years don't match up, but they could be ancestors!

Good morning, Valarie!!

On the 1909 manifest I posted above, Pompillo is also listed as the person a number of other Ripalimosani emigrees are joining in Cleveland.

Any luck with draft cards for Nicola?

Best,
Biff

Hi Biff!
Can't imagine why, but he's tough to find.
Name or birth date must be really off?
