Biography

Giovanna Ferrara is born 6 December 1856 and baptized Joannam the next day. She is the daughter of Francisco Ferrara and Salvatrice Cinquemani. Her godparents are Leoluca Patti and Luigia Streva, a married couple.[1]

Giovanna marries Vincenzo Trombatore[2], son of Leoluca Trumbatore and Maria Ruffino, on 23 September 1877 in Corleone.[3]

Vincenzo and Giovanna have six known children: Leoluca (1878), Francesco (1881), Maria/Mary (1884), Salvatrice/Theresa (1887), Giovanna/Jennie (1890), and Cosima Damiana/Mary (1899).[4]

These passengers appear in series on the manifest of the Bolivia, arriving 9 November 1896 in the port of New Orleans:

Giovanna Ferrara, 40 (b. 1856)

F. Paolo Trumbaturi, 15 (b. 1881)

Maria Trumbaturi, 10 (b. 1886---she is a couple years older than reported)

Salvatrice Trumbaturi, 8 (b. 1888)

Giovanni Trumbaturi, 6 (b. 1890) (a match by age for Giovanna)

They embarked at Palermo, travel in steerage, and are going to New Orleans for a protracted sojourn.[5]

Death of Giovanna

Giovanna dies on 6 February 1930 in Houston, Texas.[4]

Vincenzo dies on 10 March 1931 in Houston. He is buried the next day in Holy Cross Cemetery in Houston.[6]
