When my grmother emigrated from Sicily in 1904, the ship's manifest said that she was traveling to meet her husband, Guiseppe Tamburo (or possible variation)and the final destination was Walnut Street, Helena AR. Others in her group were going to 301 Walnut Street.
Can anyone tell me what was at 301 Walnut Street in 1904? Is there a Helena City Directory for 1904?
Also, can you tell me what newspapers were in existence in Helena in 1904? According to the family verbal history, Guiseppe broke up a fight between 2 other men and was killed by one of them. My grandmother was left a pregnant widow and, I believe, moved to Lake Charles LA soon after her husband's death to be with other family members and friends who were living there. My aunt was born in March 1906...which is why I guess that Guiseppe died in 1905.
I know there was a large Sicilian immigrant population in Helena and wonder if anyone has any ideas about where to write for info. Does anyone know if the Catholic Church in Helena possesses burial records from 1905?
If you need help with research in Harris County TX please let me know.
