  • Story: Alessandro Cola

    <p>This will be an ongoing summary of Alessandro.</p><p>He immigrated in 1913 from Italy on the Italia. He landed in NY on 10/10/1913 and stated his intention to move to Hosmer, Canada.</p><p>&nbsp;On the immigration record he is stated that he was a mule driver from Southern Italy. There is a town listed on his NY Immigration papers but I can&#39;t find any town with that name in Italy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>According to the list, he came here with $25. His cousin paid for his passage and that is who he was planning on going to live with. He is also list as 5&#39;2&quot; with brown complexion. I assume this to be what we would call an olive complexion today.</p><p>His WWI enlistment shows he was medium height and medium build. He had dark hair and light brown eyes. </p>
