Posted on: Amador County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Amador/10402 Surname: Giusto, Patrone, Bacigalupo, Oneto, Ghio ------------------------- I saw the following posting on a user list regarding NW Italy Geneaology and thought it would be useful for someone: Giusto and other 1842 Genoa departures Posted by Carol Nash on Mon, 02 Apr 2001 Surname: Giusto, Patrone I spent a couple of mornings last week in the Genoa federal archives (Archivio di Stato di Genova) looking at ships passenger lists from 1842. In the period from March 1842 to early 1843, there were only three ships direct to "gli Stati Uniti" (the US, no city specified). There were lots of ships to the expected nearby European destinations and a surprising number to Montevideo (they had found fold there, also) as well as a few to Buenos Aires and Rio. The ships to the US were the S. Cloud (or possibly the S. Clara -- it was really hard to read) leaving Genova on 23 Aug 1842, the Susanna on June 27 and the Logan on 1 December. A lot of the passenger's names show up early in Boston and later in Amador Co. California. My ancestor Gregorio GIUSTO left Genova on 1 December 1942 on the Logan with "a companion" (his wife, almost certainly --- but Genoan women did not change their names on marriage, and the entry looked like a copy from the US log) and three (unnamed) children. The entry identified him simply as being from Sardenia (which is what Genoa was part of then) and going to the US. The only other passenger on this ship was, as best I could decipher it, a Felice Prrigori from Austria. Passengers on the S. Cloud or S. Clara from Genoa to the US were: Molinelli, Angelo, 29 Oneto, Giobatta, 29 Massa, Giacomo, 34 Gandolfo, GioVatta, 67 Bacigalupo, Vincenzo, 39 Molinelli, Angelo, 18 all listed as from Sardenia Passengers on the Susanna from Genoa to the US were: Massa, Antonio, 29 Arata, Giuseppi, 26 Ginocchio, Angelo, 26 Longinotto, Giuseppe, 29 Devoto, Luigi, 35, with his (unidentified) wife Arrata, Antonio, 12 Arrata, Luigi, 42 Botto, Domenico, 22 Massa, Gio.Batta, 24 Arrata, Giovanni, 29 Botto, Agostino, 21 Zannone, GioBatta, 22 (not sure about the age) Botto, Agostino, 26 Ghio, Giuseppe, 17 Brichetto, Giovanni, 38 Botto, Giacomo, 26 Nossano, GioBatta, 30 Zannone, Andrea, 14 Boggiano, Giacomo, 22 Botto, Domenico, 22 Ghio, Angelo, 27 Zachella, Giacomo, 33, with son Boro, Gio.Francesco, 22 Boro, Antonio, 60 The St. Cloud also had these passengers for Marseille (France): Galleano, Giuseppe, 23 Galleano, Girolamo, 57 Galleano, Benedette, 66 Bachigalupo, Bernardo, 28 Bachigalupo, Domenico, 32 Boggiano, Gio Batta, 22 (I think) all listed as from Sardenia These two ships lists were in the volume titled "Sanita 1619"; the Logan was in Sanita 1620.
