Hi there...Hoping you can help me. My husband's ggf was Andrew Mantell from Italy. Well, he states that his parents were from Italy, but that he was from France. Not sure what that's about (on census records). Can't find anything else with his name and I'm assuming it's because it was a different Italian name that was changed or shortened. Wondering if you can offer any info. He was born around 1865 and lived in Brooklyn w/his wife Mary (Walsh) Mantell and I believe 4 children. One of his sons was my husband's grandfather. Anything familiar here?
Thanks!
