Thanks cicero.... And thank's for catching the typo. My cousin informed me yesterday that her Father has a picture of her which My Grandmother had not only written here given name on it but also has her family surname. I had not been able to verify Provvidenza on any web site as being a given name. When I was growing up My Grandparents would not let us kids learn Italian. When my Father and his older brother first started grade school the teachers sent them home because they could not speak English. Because of that my Grandparents forbade us from learning the language. We have a rather large family 4th of July picnic (over 100 family members) and some of the St. Louis branch of the Family come every year. It will be a good time to "pick" some brains then :-) PS: Terrisini is the town in which they came from. cicero wrote: > Frank S. wrote: > > Cicero thanks. > > > > I have uploaded the Ellis Island Manifest here: > > > > http://home.insightbb.com/~fselvaggio/franks/guiseppe.gif > > > > My Great Grandfather is show on line 16, Guiseppe Selvaggio > > > > I confirm you.
