English translation by Roberta Mosca:
The American Grandfather From 1890 to 1915 about 22 million people disembarked on the coasts of the United States of America as emigrants. Of these, around 5 million were Italian. Giulianova didn't escape to this constant trickle and many of our fellow citizens tried to find in America that good luck that they didn't find in Italy: the necessity of a source of maintenance for themselves and for their families, the desire for a more livable life, the dream to fulfil themselves, were at times all together remarkable incentives to move away from the beloved country of origin.The choices were often forced, but the results were not always bright: someone returned as a “winner”, somebody else after winning his challenges forgot the way back, somebody else accepted the defeat and humbly returned home. Others unfortunately were overcome by difficulties and continued in the U.S.A. the poor life they had had in their own country, forever forgotten.We want to remember all of them indifferently, our grandparents and great-grandparents, to have made their choices in the implicit desire to improve, as well as their present, their future, that is today's life, ours. In the list you can find the names of the inhabitants of Giulianova (Teramo) who emigrated to the United States of America from 1902 to 1930, deduced by the Lists of the Passengers of the innumerable ships that transported dreams and hopes through the Atlantic Ocean.Many data are available for each of them as the age, the job, where and who they went to, when they left, from where and by which ship, when they arrived in New York, etc. You might not be lucky, as for some names there are few available data... but better than nothing, isn’t it? The freely available data come from the huge archives concerning the millions of emigrants landed in those yearsat Ellis Island, New York. If you are interested in some names in the list let us know, stating your personal particulars and your mail address: in a short time we will freely send you all the information in our possession. If you don't find in the list the name you are interested in, let us know and we will effect some searches for your account. If there are some traces we will find them.... (info@paesiteramani.it)
