Hi,

The electronic version of the file is gone (hard disk error) but I have a printed copy to refer to. Below are some of the details.

My great grandfather was named Antonio Ieradi. He lived in Maida in the province of Calabria. I believe he passed away around 1868. He married a woman named Angela Geneviva. They had four children. My Grandfather, who was born Jan 16, 1895, was named Francesco. I remember his brother, Antonio, and a sister (who's name I can't remember). My grandfather arrived in Philadelphia in 1916. He lived in South Philadelphia with relatives. He was a shoemaker by trade. In 1919, he met my grandmother, Maria Rocca, and married in 1921. Maria, born in 1898, immigrated to the US in 1917 with her mother and five other siblings on the Dante Alighieri. Her mother is listed on the ship's manifest as Michelina Marincola. I understand that was her maiden name, which she reverted to, after her husband had passed away. Listed directly under my grandmother’s family on the ship’s manifest is a woman named Teresa Ieradi. This woman and a child (Immaculatta Senatore) were destined for Buffalo NY. Again, the last name different from the child’s name is indicative of a reversion back to a maiden name. I do not know what the relationship was to my family, but I do know they came from the same town of Maida. My grandmother and grandfather had seven children. A set of twins died shortly after birth. The other surviving children were named Angelina, Louis, Francis, Anthony, and Robert. They, along with most of my family, lived in Chester Pennsylvania. My grandfather passed away in March 11,1973. My grandmother passed away in Feb 15, 1988. My father, Anthony, and my uncle Frank passed away within the last year. My

Here are names of family members who were on the Dante Alighieri when my grandmother came over.
