It was my understanding that almost all of the records were lost in a fire. I hope that I am incorrect. Is the Hughes book a fairly complete record? I'm looking for my ODENHS and MELLMAN (Abraham & Jenny). Marcia Hoffman Pikesville, MD In a message dated 3/18/2008 3:05:28 A.M.

A member of this mailing list provided me with the following information from this book about a year ago: Vincenzo Palmisano age 38 origin: Italy departed Palermo arrived New York 26 Mar 1891 DEC date 19 Oct 1893 This information does not agree with what Vincenzo gave when he applied for a passport in Cincinnati in 1907 (Ancestry.com has an image of the passport application, where the date is 13 Oct 1896. Apparently he had some sort of certificate of naturalization he showed when he applied for the passport. Does anyone know the reason for the discrepancy? Do I understand correctly that the Blegen Library will not supply copied of the naturalization documents because they are fragile?
