Citta di Milano, sailing from Naples on 20 Mar 1903 and arriving in New York on 5 Jun 1903, contained Antonina Coniglio, 39, as well as Vito Schillaci, 8, Caterina Schillaci, 3, and Giovanni Schillaci, 1.

Antonina is going to join her sister, Maria Schillaci, currently living at 223 E. 103rd St. The children are all listed as joining their "sister," presumably also Maria.

Research

• 1910 city directory for NYC lists a "Cath Damore", widow of Vito, living at 314 E. 107th st. This is a block away on the same street from where Catherine D'Amore's daughter Antonina would be 15 years later. I would expect Catherine to be using her dead husband's last name (Coniglio), not her maiden name (D'Amore -> Damore), so this could just be a coincidence...
