My grandfather Atillio was born in Silvi Italy which is a part of Termo (I believe). He was born in March 1886. He came to the Rhode Island- USA in 1912. He was the son of Francesco Saverio Pomante and Annarella Collini or Collina. Rhode Island is not far from Canada. I do not know if he had any brothers. It is possible that we may be related as a lot of names were spelled differently when people came through customs. If you look at the Italian yellow pages there are thousands of Pomante's in Silvi and Termo. I havn't noticed any spelled with an "i" My grandfather pronounced our name with an "i" at the end
po mon ti. My grandfather came to the US on a ship called the Canada on June 25, 1912. I have his ship passenger papers. Does your father know if your grandfather had any brothers.

Thanks for your reply
My Dad has passed away but I will ask my Mom when Dad and Grandfather came over
she will most likely know, and when I find out I will post it.

My Mother also tells me that my grandfather
Umberto had a brother who lived in the U.S.
but died in Italy. She said his name was Saverio
But she does know if any of our relatives spelled
their name with an e on the end. Most of my Dad's relations
lived in Toronto.

My grandfather's Atillio was the son of Saverio Pomante who was married to Anna Collina. They lived in Silvi Italy. But I don't think he ever came to the U.S. because Atillio left his three sons after his first wife died with Saverio and Anna when he first came to the U.S. and then went back for them later.

I would quess our families are not directly related
but it is interesting look up and meet other people
with the same or close to same last name.We
know that people could not say the name they
just changed it to something easy, as in my
grandfather's his Scottish boss did not like
Umberto so he just changed it to Bob.Also the
spelling of our surname is Pomanti but we all
say it Pomante. Thank you
