Also... here's an Albona surname list
Cergnul Cergnuli ÄŒERLJENKO ÄŒERNJUL
and that mysterious... Mikulian/Miculian... should be...Micuglian???
Link to Albona - Labin Region Surnames
As for Blatto.. could be Blato ... a town in the interior of the island of Korcula... would certainly explain all those seamen...
Did anyone translate Matteo's letter?

Found the manifest I was talking about.... but I don't think it's him as the birth year is off by 6 years.. plus he was married...

If anyone can help Silvana, please seeSVadigno wrote:Hello Kristina - my name is Silvana and I have sent you an email (I got some names mixed up in that) to try and contact you after seeing this forum.
My mother was Maria Cergnul born in San Martino Albona
Her mother was Giovanna Cergnul and her father was Matteo Cergnul who worked in the Navy and went to America all through the early 20's and 30's.
My mother had 1 sister name Emilia and 9 brothers including Goeseppe, Fanko, Matteo, Giovanni. I am also trying to find my ancestors from that region.
I think after this ... I'm taking a break honey.... No.. didn't find Dominick Miculian... if that's who you are talking about.. but the passenger on line 2 has an interesting surname....cerg wrote:Hello Maria,
I just checked my post and you have been busy!!! This Giovanni in Florida sounds promising! Did you happen to find Dominic?
The only thing that puzzles you??The only thing that puzzles me is that the Naluralization papers state the Carpathia.... and I have the record of arrival stating the same information? It is possible that there was a mix up , all the information sounds like him. The other thing that I noticed is the date, he was married to my grandmother Dolly in 1918.
I think that's cool... but where in Canada... or what area?I also found out from Joe ( guy in canada) that Giovanni's birth place is now days called Beloti.
no ... definately not... the Maria mentioned was listed as the mother ...then crossed off... then "sister" written next to it...When I looked at the manifest in the spot where it says "AlbanaAustria sister Maria" does it look like it could be for the person on the manifest above Giovanni? you read these manifests much better than I do but I thought that I would ask.
Yup... MariaThanks,
Kristina
Ask someone from your family about the tatoo... I can't answer that one... sorry...cerg wrote:Just a quick questions:
Would a tattoo be listed as a visible distinctive mark ? On his NA Certificate it asks that question, all that is in the part is that he had a mashed finger tip on the right hand.
Of course he could have for some reason not mentioned his tattoo...
Just a thought
Kristina
Thank you for looking into a few things today... I appreciate it!cerg wrote:Hey Maria,
As for the tattoo on his arm, I have tried to call my Uncle Tony. He is my dads oldest brother. I am hoping that when I get in touch with him that he may remember. I am also going to try and call Giovanni's sister Liela. Hopefully I wil get an answer to that question...
