looking for information on Concettina Alvino

[nanjm]

Researching the name Alvino and looking specifically for Concettina, my grandmother.
I have checked Ellis island and Ancestry.com and am unable to locate any information on what ship she came on. I believe she is from Naples Italy
also looking for names of her parents

She married a Charles B. Mortali. She is listed as Tina Mortali in the 1930 census.
Born 12/3/1891
marriage date 11/25/1912
Died 3/1965 in Revere MA
Brother is listed as Carmen Alvino n 1930 census.
Immigration listed as 1910 in 1930 census

Note that she does not give her maiden name but states she was born in Avlino Italy. She is travelling to bring her mother back to the states.

Unable to find a town called Avlino.

Thanks so much for the passport information which will be helpful
I was unaware that she brought her mother to the US

You're welcome. I've been trying to locate a ship manifest with her and her mother on it to verify that she did bring her mother back to the US as well as the manifest for Concettina's first trip, but thus far no luck.

Birthdate on Passport App differs from the one you posted.

Thanks again.
I do not believe that is her as the birth date would be different than listed on her passport. I don't believe her father came to the USA as listed as who she was going to meet??
Are there any other sites that list ship manifests other than Ellis Island?

[misbris]

It says she is meeting her brother in law, Donato ( I can't make out the last name) POR ? in Connecticut. Did she have a sister?

I am not sure of any sisters living in the USA, but know her brother Carmen or Carmine lived with them in the (1930 census) in Boston MA.
I would like help in locating her brother Carmine/ or Carmen Alvino

Thank you for the information from the manifest.and the draft cards .
It looks like prinzess irene is probably the ship he came on. Can anyone read the name and address of the relative that Carmine was going to visit AND the name and address of nearest relative in the country whence alien came.
Also still wondering if anyone would know what ship Concettina Alvino came on or where I could look for that information?

[pink67]

Hi Nanjm,
it's difficult for me too (I'm italian) read the name of the nearest relative in Italy, surely is his mother and it seems last name Braine (but in Italy doesn't exit, perhaps it was Braile) and first name Grazione (doesn't exist, maybe Graziosa?) ...hope someone else can help!
Carmine was going to Crotti?? Alfonso living in New York 2159 - 4th Street.

I've searched so much to find also concetta/Concettina/Tina arrival manifest but with no luck

The word before Alfonso looks like broth:, an abbreviation for brother.
