Hi Randy:

I looked at my database and found one Carlo Pompeo, but his birthdate was circa 1780. He was married to a Maria Saveria Buccilli and had 3 female children that I've found thus far. There is always the possibility that he was the grandfather of your Carlo, but without information that goes back to 1865 I can't provide the information you need.

I did find Adelina Tollis, age 19, on the Ellis Island page when she arrived on 2 Nov 1900 aboard the Kaiser Wilhelm II from Naples. She was going to Trinidad to meet her husband, Carlo Pompeo! That's a definite match for you. In exploring further, I couldn't find Carlo's arrival at Ellis Island, so he possibly arrived at another port. I did find a Raffaele Pompeo (44) who accompanied Antonio Avolio (19) from Pacentro to Ellis Island on 1 June 1906. Raffaele was listed as the brother of Pasquale Pompeo of Trinidad and Antonio was the nephew of Carlo Pompeo of Trinidad.

Hope this helps you. If you find any information prior to 1875, I can review my records for you...Ciao, Mary Ann
