Palma father and son in need of biographies. Can you help build these profiles?

Question

Raffaele Palma (1901) from sunny Italy moved to Rhode Island, then on to Florida.  His wife needs a profile, while he, his son and daughter need biographies written 

Appreciate any help you can give to improve these profiles, categories stickers and biographies.

Answer 1

Janet,

This would be Rafaele & his sister Lucrezia's Nov 1913 immigration. From Manfredonia (no one left there). To their father Giacomo who was in Woonsocket.

This is Lucrezia's 1914 marriage.

Father= Giacomo + mother = Costanza

Here is the Palma family living with Lucrezia & her husband in 1920 Giacomo is listed as widowed + 3 other of Raffaele's siblings listed.

Hi Nick

This is great information, thanks, can you add it to the profiles. Kelly Nolan has added some bits already, but appreciate it if you could also add to the profiles.
