If you click on above documents, look at passenger number 21. This is the record of Angela Maria Petruolo. She came to Ellis Island on March 9, 1909 aboard the ship "Anacona" sailing from Naples, Italy. As you read across, you will find out that she was traveling with her stepson, Antonio DiPietro (line 22) so we know her married name was Angela DiPietro. She was 19, was a housekeeper and could not speak English. As you read across you will see her home town was Agnone, Campobasso, Italy, that her mother's name in Italy was Grandizia DiLullo and that her destination was Denver, Colorado.
Now, click on the second document and, again, look at Line 21. You will see that she had never been to the US before, and that she was meeting her husband, Martino DiPietro in Denver. You will see under column 24 that she was pregnant, and she was 5 feet 0 inches tall and that she was born in Agnone, Italy.
Then, when you look at the document below, you will see she was detained at Ellis Island. |
