I'm trying to find a ship's manifest for a Roberto Bastianelli I'm sure he arrived in USA shortly after 1960. Are records for this period of time available or is there a 'cut off' year (like census information) where you dont have access to that information?
Emmy

Emmy,
I have a feeling that they are now 'open to view' until 1959 - but I'm sure there are others who will be certain of these details...

Thanks Carole
I'm not 100 percent sure when he went to USA but I do know it was either in the 50's or 60's - That just seems like yesterday to me
Maybe someone will know for definate. fingers crossed

BTW there were two other Roberto Bastianellis (father and son) who travelled in 1921 on the Giuseppe Verdi.

Roberto Bastianelli - 3 Feb 1921. abt 1909. Male Giuseppe Verdi
Son Roberto Bastianelli - 3 Feb 1921. abt 1909 Male
Genoa, Italy Italian (South) (Italian) Giuseppe Verdi

Carole did it say if he came from Atina he must have been in his late teens /early 20's then but sounds good Thanks
Emmy

No it gives very little information. Just that the ship sailed from Napoli 2nd April and arrived at New York on the 11th.....These modern manifests are nowhere near as informative as the older styles. Here is the url for that page - I don't know if you can open it or not....

Thanks Carole for trying but it wont let me open it seems I have to take out a subscription first.
Emmy

We will need to link with imageshack or you won't be able to view it (as you noticed) unless you have a subscription. Let me see what I can do.

Yes, and no..there is his Italian Passport number! Some people need that info in their research.

Emmy,
I found this too I think on 'your' Roberto Bastianelli:

Name: Roberto Bastianelli
Birth Date: Oct 1934
Street address: 31541 Carion Dr
City: Warren
County: Macomb
State: Michigan
Zip Code: 48092
Phone Number: 586
Record Number: 798666643
Household Members:
Name Est. Age Birth Year
Maria F Bastianelli 65 1942
Roberto Bastianelli 73 1934

Thanks Carole it is him and the manifest was his too. This is Bob's cousin. I didnt know they lived in Macomb in Michigan. (That's where my dad's cousin's son lived, do you remember I just phoned his widow just recently.) Now if Bob's cousin happens to know the 'Josephine' I 'phoned that WILL give me the 'heebie geebies'
I'm in contact with Bob's cousin's daughter so I think I'll email her and give her Josephine's address just to find out how far away they live from each other. I'd better take care - they say 'Curiosity killed the cat'!!!! and satisfaction brought it back BUT What happens to the cat if you dont get satisfaction???

Emmy

Emmy - here's where Carion Dr. Warren, Macomb is.... so if you Google the other address and then do a 'Directions from here to there' on Google you will see haow near they are. The arrow on this map is where the house is!

>Carion Dr. Warren, Macomb, Mich<

Thanks Carole
Only approx. 7 miles apart!!!!! only 16 minutes drive/25 minutes in traffic.
This is Spookey!!! And to think the trouble everyone has gone to to help me find Nicholas and Bob's own cousin living soooo close to them. It will be even more ????? is if they actually know each other, which although not likely, could be possible.

Emmy

Strange indeed - but maybe one of those nice coincidences that we are becoming used to on "Gente" eh?
