Fiocca Notes

The Italian record that I find for the marriage of Carmine (John) and Filomena indicates that they were married
in 1894. I believe that they were married in the US in 1891, then remarried in Italy in 1894. Carmine was first
married in 1889 to Isabella. I believe that she died in childbirth with Anthony. Anthony's birth date is reported
differently on various documents.
Note also that I find a ship manifest (that may or may not be correct) that shows an "Anthony" Giovanni Fiocca?
arriving with his wife Filomena, and children Anthony (3yr old) and Sebastian (11mo old) in May of 1894.
I have located the ship manifest for Carmine's first arrival in the U.S. in September of 1882.
