I suppose he could be a cousin. Andrew F. & John F were father and Son, Rose was John's wife. Andrew and his wife Gemma had 5 children Dora, John, Mary, Joseph and Emma. Andrew came to the US in 1901 through Ellis Island Gemma came in 1912 through Ellis Island. You might try checking the Ellis Island records to see if there was a Bart, however, many people from other countries changed their names to sound more American. Go to www.ellisisland.orgpassenger.com and give that a try. I have an 88 year old Aunt I will ask her tomorrow if that name rings a bell. Also were are you located at, I know there are a lot of Ferini's in the San Jose and Bay area. Did your grandfather have any brothers or sisters. Hope this will help....Hedi
