Actually in the birth acts from my grandfather's town, I have seen the name Dorotea and Dorina. I know Dorotea is also Dorothy in Spanish.

Livio,
Yes, it really is Addorata, but I did not know this until I saw the manifest. When I told my mother that the city directories listed my grandmother as Dolly, and some other names, she said oh well your grandmother's name in Italian was Dororata. but as she clips off her endings and also some beginnings of Italian words, she probably was saying 'Addorata. Her gravestone says Dolores but my sister's says Delores, though she was named after granma.

Oops, sorry Gina, I diverted your post...

Thanks Emmy. I hope to get many onto the website and here. I love to see everyone else's too.

Ok Nuccia

Dave
