Thinking about it, the pronounce of BUONO (napoletano speaking) is not far from BUUUNA...if you add almost 20yrs in the US, maybe you get it.
When I was searching for my relatives I bumped into some very mean declinations too.
On the other way, they tried to cheat or something...who knows
Have no new infos on Joseph or Domenica except for this: they've been told that one of their american cousins unfortunately died during the WWII.
He was serving on a cargo shipping medications to Europe.
I did some research on WWII casualties list and guess what:
BUONO JOSEPH - Pharmacist's Mate 1c, USNR. Wife, Mrs. Dorothy Buono, 2414 E. 22d St., Brooklyn.
Hey, don't know if it's a coincidence...but if we could get the date of birth for this Jospeh it'll be another step ahead.
What do you thin about it? Is there any archive for the WWII enrollements?
This is the right manifest, Allocca is the right surname of his mum...you're eyes are perfect!pink67 wrote: If this is the arrival manifest of Angela Sica (sept. 16, 1910) age 27, single, from Somma Vesuviana, mother's last name Allocca, and if I am right (my eyes are very tired...) she was going in New Haven Connecticut to meet her brother in law.....
Two things:
1) If this is the right record of Angela and she was single, the fact she had a brother in law seems that she had another married sister....
2) I think it's the right record because the first son Joseph was born in Connecticut...
They had indeed another married sister...but as far as my friend told me she also planned to leave Italy but never did it.
She was my friend s grandma.
