This record states that she is from Camporeale and that her nearest relative in Italy is her mother, Rosalia, who is in Camporeale. While viewing this document, I learned that my father's cousin Rosalie was named after Vincenza's mother. Vincenza approached her mother and father and asked them to name her after her mother. This helped me confirm that the record belongs to my great grandmother. We also learn from the document that she is heading to Rockford, Ill. 3 of her children were born in Rockford, Illinois, so this is an obvious connection.
This is the back of the document: It states that she is had $40 in her possession, and that she was heading to Rockford, Illinois to meet her father, Fontana, at 665 Court St, Rockford, IL. Her place of birth is Camporeale, Italy and she is in good health with no physical or mental defects.
