I am beginning a search for two families who arrived in NYC in the early 1900's and don't know where to even begin. Very little available from the family. I have no information on where in Italy they came from. Their first child was born here in the US in approximately 1917 and they came separately and married here. Vincent James Diorio or James Vincent Diorio and Mildred Terranova. No names of parents. Would anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Dawna, Maybe I can help you. Do you know approximately how old were they when they died? That would help me know when were they born, so I can guess their birth year and look for them on the ship lists for ellis island. I've found a reference to a Mildred Diorio living in Philadelphia in 1930. Could it be her? 1930 United States Federal Census Record Census View Image Name: Mildred Diorio Birth: abt 1897 Residence: 1930 - city, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Dawna Clark ha scritto: > I am beginning a search for two families who arrived in NYC in the > early 1900's and don't know where to even begin.
