IMMIGRATION DETAILS
Felice Cipolla from Muro Lucano, Italy, arrived on board the Alesia from Naples on May 19, 1893. He was age 15. Who did Felix come with? It appears he came with his sister Rosemarie or "Rosa." The ship manifest lists Rosa Moglie (age 19) just before Felice on the manifest. Moglie is Italian for "wife" indicating that the person listed above Rosa, Vincenzo Crusco (age 21) in the list is Rosa's husband. Rosa was 19. Rosa and her husband later lived on the same street as Felix's brother Michael.
