I found the arrival record for someone named Francesco DiJusto, who came to America from the town of MACCHIA VALFATORE!!!!!!
This is significant, because we know for sure that my great grandmother also came from Macchia Valfatore, Italy.
It was a common practice for immigrants to America to marry people from their hometowns.
The only question is: who is Francesco????
As it turns out, he is my great-grand uncle. In his ship manifest record, he claims that he has at least one relative in the US -- his brother Nichola, who lives on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx.
That's the man I'm looking for!
