Transcribers Notes : 
* This Manifest was typed, but is a poor copy.
* There are 36 columns, some have sub columns, like column 11, place of 
  birth, which has sub columns for Country and City or town.  
* All ?'s in the list of columns have a word or words that are blurred 
  or too small to read (as in column 3: "Able to-" read, the ? middle 
  column, write.)

Passenger information: 
* Relatives names that a passenger was to visit, are on the line above 
  passenger's name.  
* Line numbering: line 1 is the passenger, the space above is relative 
  visiting, is "name and complete address of nearest relative or friend 
  in country whence alien came".
* The use of an * indicates an ommission or error made by the origional 
  recorder.
* The use of a ? indicates a word or letters could not be read, due to 
  the poor quality of my copy, though it was typed.
* Dates of sailing from and Arriving at, are recorded as typed
  1 Surname may be Lo Jacomo or Lo Jacono. Given name looks to be Carmelo, 
    Carmklo, or Carmkio.  Place of birth is not clear in column 11, place of 
    birth, but is clearer in column 17, name and address of nearest Relative.
  2 Given name is either Elisa or Elesa, Place of birth not clear in
    column 11 but clear in column 17.
  3 Column 3, able to read, write have a Y (yes) written over no
    that is typed for both.
  4 M in column 6, maried or single is incorrect, passenger was single. 
    Indecipherable: letter after pasport, a line was drawn through the 
    questionable number. Column 23 whether going to visit a relative or 
    friend... has the word home on the line above line 4, and the address on 
    line 4.
  5 Name (of nearest relative of country of origin) above line, may be Sofia. 
    The letter C in Concetta (sister) typed above the other letters. Written 
    slightly below rest of line: N.Y.C. 282 E. 15o str.
  6 Wife's surname looks like Fuscara or Fuseara. First column Muscara has an 
    accent next to last A in name, other notations of the name accents above 
    the last a seem to be added by hand. Letter L in column 7, calling or 
    occupation, is slightly above rest of letters. Column 11, city or town of 
    birth, Acieacastello, is clearer than column 17.
  7 Passenger's given name may be Sebaselano or Sebastiano. Column 11, city 
    or town of birth, Acieacastello, is clearer than column 17. Column 22, 
    928 N.Y. through to the end of the line is typed lower than the rest of 
    this line.

  Teresa Ficano Lo Pinto is my bisnonna, or great grandmother.  We recently 
  found out she was born 14 Nov 1848, and died 31 Dec 1941, in Begheria 
  Sicily, Italy.  Her parents were Giovanni (1808) and Antonina Maggiore 
  (1816) Ficano.  Her husband, Francesco Lo Pinto was in the Bersagleria 
  of the Italian Military.  Each of her three sons were born in different 
  comunes (towns), which makes me wonder if she followed her husband on 
  his tours of duty(?).  All of her sons came to the US, Giovanni, my 
  nonno (grandfather) in 1899, with his wife Anna, my nonna.  Federico 
  came in July 1900; we don't know if he came alone or with his wife.  Her 
  youngest, Guiseppe came at age 15, in September 1900, possibly with his 
  father and mother.  Giovanni was a doctor, trained in Naples, Federico 
  was a Pharmacist, also trained in Italy while  Giuseppe became a 
  Pharmasist in the US.  We know little of Giuseppe, other than that he 
  married Elisa Somma between 1908-1913. 
  In the 1910 NYC census, Teresa is listed at her son's residence on 
  Mulberry St, as a language teacher.  She was 62 and a widow.  There is 
  no notation as to how long she had been in the country.  Giovanni and 
  Anna were listed as living here 10 years.  Stories indicate that Teresa 
  was a very strong willed woman.  For those times, she was a true 
  matriarch and felt free to assert herself with her husband and sons!  
  (This could be because her family were well to do, owners of large olive 
  groves.)  My father's sisters recalled their visits to Italy, and staying 
  in what they called "the Mansion", with its many beautifully furnished 
  rooms.  We know she often took one of her 5 grand children to Italy for 
  the summer, and returned with them.
  On this particular trip (SS Vulcania), she was returning from Italy with 
  her granddaughter Rose, age 9, my father's younger sister.  Thus far we 
  know of 4 trips, 1900 (the EMS, lists her as Giovanna), in 1913 
  (SS Cincinnati, lists her visiting her husband Giovanni), and 1929 
  (this ship).  Her last voyage was made in 1939, at age 91! (don't have 
  this ship - yet!)   We are still searching for those other trips.  We 
  assume she left Italy out of Naples, rather than Palermo, because she 
  had family and / or friends there.  Teresa noted a brother, Rosario, 
  living in Naples on a previous ships manifest, and in Palermo on this one.
