The Families of Acri, Italy

Bombina Giuseppa Laudone and children sailed from Napoli, Napoli, Campania, Italy on 08 Sep 1909 aboard the S.S. Perugia, arriving at New York, New York, United States on 24 Sep 1909. Bombina's final destination was Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island to be with her husband.¹²⁰⁶

The 1879 Acri birth record for Bombina Giuseppa Laudone appears to have a clerical error. The surname is listed as Lauro. The parents are Vincenzo and Maria Ferraro as expected. Bombina's Sept 1900 marriage record lists her age as twenty-one placing her birth in Acri around 1879. There are no other Bombina Giuseppa Laudone births in that time period.

In addition, a search for other Lauro births with parents Vincenzo and Maria turned up nothing adding to the likelyhood that the surname was written incorrectly on that birth record.

Furthermore, Bombina's birth fits into a gap between the 1875 and 1882 Acri births of known children of Vincenzo Laudone and Maria Ferraro.¹²¹⁰
