Immigration - New York Passenger List - Ship Name:  CANADA - 29 March 1912

Lo Nigro, Nicolomale    22yrs   shoemaker  Destination: New Orleans, LA  Hometown: Piana dei Greci  Father: Vincent Lo Nigro

*this record is important, quite possibly our Nick Lo Nigro's   immigration record. I just got off the phone about 8:30 today  January 5th, 2009 with Aunt Margaret Lo Nigro, whom still  resides in Natchez MS. She mentioned that the Clesceri and Lo  Nigro families were friends, thus the arranged marriage between  Nick and Margaret Clesceri. She also mentioned that the family  may have been from a small town "Piano" . This record lists Nick  Lo Nigro of a town Piana, very close to what Margaret suspected.  This town iscalled Piana degli Albanesi today, which is just SW of  Palermo. The inhabitants have their origin in the Albanian town of  Himarë and the Greek town of Hirone. Record  lists a father of  Nicolo as Vincent Lo Nigro and lists him as a shoemaker, which  was Vincent's ( his son's) profession.

"now, the other one, was my father standing in front of his shoe  repair shop in August, 1942....(holding his cigarette, hmmmm) lol.  He passed away four months after that, on Dec. 18, 1942...

Back then they said he had an "Ulcerated stomach"....over the  years, after cancer became more known about, Mama always  said she felt like it was stomach cancer....don't know that for  sure...of course."  - Aunt Margaret Lo Nigro Jan 09 2009

Those numbers are a gold mine, the date 3/6/41 is the date your  Nicolo got his citizenship and the numbers should be the file  number of his papers, looks like 13-7134 but your'e right it could   be 18-7134. There should be a second page to the manifest, you  have the first page that tells who he left behind in Piana (His  father vincenzo LoNigro) the second page would tell you who he  was going to join when he got to his destination, his final  destination was new Orleans. How did you find Nicolo I couldn't  find him at all. - Joni Saunders (regarding immigration record)

Immigrated with $10 dollars, had never been to the US before,  had  a dark complexion, and chesnut colored eyes and hair.

Dominca Clesceri is the daughter of Vito Clesceri and Giovanna  "Jennie " Carnesi. She was born 1901 in Sicily. She died 1965 in  Natchez, Adams, MS.

labeling her as Giovanna Clesceri but have always heard  Dominica. She was born, according to Aunt Margaret, in Sicily in  1901 and brought to the U.S. in 1902.
