| Notes |
- He immigrated on Feb. 25, 1901 on the ship "Columbia," which had embarked from Naples, Italy. His last given census in Italy was Ferrazzano. This is right next to Campobosso, in the center of Italy. He was aged 20 at the time. He gives his destination as Buffalo, New York. He says he is coming to visit his brother Giovanni, who must be the one whom family history records as “John.”
He does not seem to be traveling with family, but he is traveling with 13 other people from Ferrazzano and Campobasso. The person in the line above his is also traveling to Buffalo: Filippo Baranello, aged 21.
His WWI draft registation card confirms that he was born that same year, and gives a more precise birthdate. I take his name as spelled from his gravestone and his immigration record.
The 1920 census gives his citizenship as 1900—in Pennsylvania.
He got a job on the Lehigh valley railroad. He would always ask for a pass for the family to go shopping in NY.
There is no “Angelo” (as his child) with this family on the 1920 census, though family history places him there. Could Thomas also have been called Angelo?
He does not appear with his wife in the 1930 census: could he have died that early? [13]
