I think this is your Angelo, age 7, traveling with his mother, Lucia Colina, and a sibling named Agostino, age 2. Going to her husband Giovanni Bellomo in Northport (?), W. Va. Her father was Giuseppe was in Castrogiovanni. Castrogiovanni is given as the place of birth for all of them.

This is Lucia's husband. Her last name on this passenger list is spelled as Collana. His destination was to Olmstead W Va to an cousin named Paolo Mazzola. Her was traveling with an uncle who was on the line above him by the name of Concetto Messina. Concetta's wife was Maria Ardica. Both wives were in Castrogiovanni

It worked out well. You gave the commentary

[maestra36]

Hopefully we are on the right trail with all of this. I estimated years of birth for her ancestors based on her age.

[maestra36]

If I am reading things correctly, the town of Enna was called Castrogiovanni until 1926.

[maestra36]

Collana should be the correct spelling of Lucia's maiden name

[misbris]

Colina appears in Enna also.

[maestra36]

Not sure which is the correct spelling then since on one passenger list it is spelled Colina and on the other as Collana

[misbris]

I think the actual manifest record should have the correct spelling because that was prepared in Italy.

A bunch of Colinas from Castrogiovanni are on Ellis Island.
