Josephine Assini - Immigration to the US




 

From 2 posts ago we learned that Josephine Tremonte Assini's husband Nicola (Nick) Assini immigrated from Italy to the US in 1925.  And that he was living with him brother Joseph in 1930.

From these passenger lists we learn about Josephine Assini's voyage from Italy to the US as well as her children who came along with her. 

Josephine and her 3 children, Barbara, Maria, and Vincenzo all boarded the S.S. Saturina in Naples on October 21, 1933.  Their individual information is on lines 19, 20, 21, and 22.

Information gained from individual lines on the passenger list:

Line 19:  Giuseppa (aka Josephine) Tremonte Assini is 36, married, a housewife, and illiterate.  She is from San Marco dei Cavoti and received her Visa on Oct 5, 1933.  From Page 2 we learn that her father Teodoro was in San Marco at the time of her travel to the US.  She was planning to join her husband Nicola Assini at 714 19th Street, Waterliet, NY.  This is the same location of Joseph Assini and his family.  Her health was good and she was 5'5".
