T,

The following passenger list info goes with the census record you found. The wife's name on the passenger list is Giuseppa Di Mercurio (sp???). The son Santo is on the passenger list too.

I don't think this is the family the poster is searching for, T. Phyllis is not a nickname for Giuseppa.

These made be the passenger list info Francesco Orlando. His wife's name was Giovanna Coaramotaro (sp?) on the manifest in Terrasini. He was going to a son Antonio Orlando in Detroit.


First Name: Francesco
Last Name: Orlando

meant to spell the wife's name as Ciaranitaro, which is what it looks like on the passenger list. (Boy, are my typing skills rusty!)

This is the wife of Francesco Orlando traveling with two sons Mercurio and Domenico

Below them on the passenger list is Giuseppa Orlando traveling with son Antonio Militello, 1 year old. Says destination is to her father in law Antonio Militello

[maestra36]

So is it possible that Giuseppa was called Phyllis in the U.S.??? also, could the manifest have a mistake when it says she was going to her father in law?

[maestra36]

actually the father in law was in Terrasini, but his name was also Antonio Militello.

[maestra36]

Giuseppa Orland's husband. Antonio Militello, was at 249 Monroe Ave in Detroit, same destination as Giovanna and her two sons to husband Francesco Orlando. This must all be the same family.

I think some of the info, is correct here. But I think her name was Flippee or something like but meant Phyllis. I wish I could find some of children. Any Ideas?

Thank You
