Qo?l? Transcriber Notes: * is for error by the original recorder or to note other information on the copy added to the transcriber's notes. ? Transcriber unable to read due to the quality of the copy, letters are too small, written over or elaborate writing. This Manifest indicates the ship left Genova on 2 April, Naples on 3 April, and Palermo on 4 April. Page number, 43 is stamped on the top and bottom of the given name column. On the top left corner of this page is written, bold and large, 5 P. Recorders often used the word do or ditto for some columns. Most passengers on this page have dittos that look like a d, or a division symbol, in the column of last residence of the passenger, from previous passengers. This is noted in their transcriber data. On this page the recorder wrote gender as mas for masculine, or fem for feminine, and marital status as m for married, and sin or sing for single. This transcriber has written each column as it is seen on the manuscript. The handwriting of all passenger names are different than all other columns on this page, indicating two recorders filled this page. New line numbers were hand written on this page, before the printed line numbers, they begin with the number 121 and end with 150. Below the age to marital status column, is written what looks like, Except 6 of 7. Recorder does not know what this means. Passengers 799, 800, and 801 are lined out. This usually means that this passenger was not on this ship. They do not have a check before their surnames, between age and gender, or Final Destination as other passengers do. The nearest relative information is usually visible either below or above the line. Transcriber has written in only what can be made out through, above, or below a line. Recorder wrote the final tally of passengers at the bottom of this page, in the last address column as 27 then 2, then a line underneath and a 25, as 3 did not make the trip and 2 have USA in their residence column. Of the 30 passengers on this page, 27 made this passage, as noted by the recorder at the bottom of the page across the last residence columns of the last 3 passengers. This page was signed by inspector WIlliam ? ?o?oell. The Italian language has no letter j, k, or w, x, or y. The letter h is only used with ch or gh. The passenger listing above is only one page of this manifest. Both may be seen on the Ellis Island Web Site. Sources: Names, Italian English Dictionary, David McKay Co, Philadelphia, 1943. Cities: Encyclopedia Britannica Atlas, Chicago, 1947 and Rand McNally & Co. Atlas, 1978. 799 Giandina, before the printed line number is another hand written one, 121. Passenger is crossed out by a thick line. This usually means they did not board this ship. Most is hard to read, covered by the line, except for what is stated. Occupation, able to read and write, nearest relative, and final destination columns are blank. Last address looks to have a dotted i at the end, only similar one found is Cefalu, Sicily. 800 Gloriosa, before the printed line number is another hand written one, 122. Passenger is crossed out by a thick line. This usually means they did not board this ship. Most is hard to read, covered by the line, except for what is stated. Given name maybe Rosina, as the line covers it. Nearest relative, and final destination columns are blank. Last address looks to have a dotted i at the end, only one found is Cefalu, Sicily. 801 Giandina, before the printed line number is another hand written one, 123. Passenger is crossed out by a thick line. This usually means they did not board this ship. Most is hard to read, covered by the line, except for what is stated. Occupation, able to read and write, nearest relative, and final destination columns are blank. Last address looks to have a dotted i at the end, only one found is Cefalu, Sicily. 802 Rinaudo, before the printed line number is another hand written one, 124. Surname maybe Rinando, as that of father looks like, writing is small and thick. Numbers are written from occupation to race columns, 11 a dash, 783160 a dash, then like a date 11 a diagonal dash, 27 a diagonal dash, and what looks to be 37, which is written over the I of Italian, or race of this passenger. Just before the 37, there seems to be a curved line, like a half note on the G clef which intersects the letter I of Italian of this passenger. These numbers are a verification for naturalization purposes, usually done after 1926. The first number is a naturalization district number, the second set is either an application number or the Certificate of Arrival number. Last set of numbers maybe the date the person applied. Last address looks to have an i at the end, only one found is Cefalu, Sicily. Destination is maybe NJ or NY, both were written the same. City is written as Baltimora, nothing similar found in either state. 803 Tortorici, before the printed line number is another hand written one, 125. The letter T was written above first letter of surname, to clarify the script. Last address is abbreviated as S Agata M and that of wife is S Agata Mill. Surname of wife is not clear, letter maybe cc, as in D' Acctoni or an n as in D' Antoni. This most likely is her maiden name, as was the custom of Italian women to use in that era. 804 Barone, before the printed line number is another hand written one, 126. Passenger 804 and 805, page line numbers 6 and 7, were circled, and have a bracket connecting the circles, then it looks like they are crossed out. Nothing is written to indicate why. There are two other brackets connecting these two. One unusually curved bracket, is just after their given names, with a small o right after it, and another between last address and nearest relative. No explanation of their relationship is given, as is usual done. The columns of race and last address, South and Palermo, were written over to USA in large and bold print. Nearest relative is written as Nobody on line for 804, while 805 has two horizontal lines, possibly ditto marks. Destination maybe NY or NJ, both were written the same. City looks to be Conay Osland or Conay Asland. For 804, the first word is spelled Conay, for 805 it is Canay. This maybe a recorders error for Coney Island, NY. 805 Schiro, before the printed line number is another hand written one, 127.

There are brackets that connect 807 and 808, before line number, between age and gender and last residence and destination. There is what looks like a large x across both page lines, between age and gender columns. The word wife is written after the given name of 808. Relative is written as Nobody. Last address is written as d for ditto from 806. 808 Filippone, before the printed line number is another hand written one, 130. There are brackets that connect 807 and 808, before line number, between age and gender and last residence and destination.

Age is not clear, it looks like a 4, but there looks to be a small 7 written slightly above and to the left of the 4. It also looks like a line is drawn over the line of the column between the given name and age. The marital status to able to read and write columns have double lines on them, often done for a young child. Numbers are written from occupation to race columns, 7 a dash, 107118 a dash, then like a date 8 a diagonal dash, 4 a diagonal dash, 38.

Numbers are also written from occupation to race columns, 18 a dash, 56962 a dash.

Inspector, Qo?l?, surname is written at the end of nearest relative column, but is not clear, it is light and unable to read. It is covered by address of nearest relative of passenger 828. The first letter of what seems to be the last name, and looks like a 2, maybe an old way of writing a Q. The next letters maybe ock or oelr. The last letter looks the same as his last letter in Inspector. Surname, maybe Qock or Qoelr. Given name is clear. Middle initial, maybe either a T or I.
