My name is Arnaldo Borsa and I am Italian.
I was searching the Internet to know if someone of my ancestor's relative
was emigrated to USA, because I found some Borsa living in USA in these
days and I wanted to know if there is a possibility we have the same ancestors.
I found the site with your transcription for The Immigrant Ships
Transcribers Guild about Italian Bark Guglulmo Carlo Stanford.
I think I can be useful for some particulars; first of all, the correct
name of the ship is "Guglielmo Carlo Stanford".
Port of departure is correct as written: Castellammare ("Castle-by-the-sea"
it means in English).
Passenger Francisco Massa should be Francesco Massa.
Also the master of the ship has a wrong name: Meichele. In Italian the
correct spelling is Michele.
I hope to have been of some help for you and for the people who search
their ancestors on those records. Best wishes, Arnaldo Borsa.
