While working on my genealogy, I decided to vist the blog, The Genealogy of Torre le Nocelle Torre is the town in Italy where my father's family comes from. I stumbled onto the blogpost about the ship manifest, the Canopic, and saw my grandfather listed.
I went to my family tree on Ancestry.com to see if I could find the record. Instead, I found the same information, but the ship is listed as the Romanic.
What struck me the most was the date. I found the blog post and the Ancestry.com record on 1. June 2016. 110 years and one day since my grandfather came to his new country.
It's cool to actually see the manifests isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes, they have such wonderful information. And I think he came over with a cousin. Need to follow that thread to be sure
