John and Teresa (Bailoni) Ferrary
and Children
John and Rina

 (Although this voyage was not for the purposes of immigration, it has been included because of my personal interest. The infant on this trip was my mother, Rina Ferrary. I have not been able to determine exactly when my grandparents went to Europe to visit their families, but it is assumed that it was in the early months of  1913.)

In 1913 JOHN and TERESA FERRARI, took a trip to their homeland to visit family. At that time they had two young children; John, Jr. age 3, and Rina an infant just few months old. According to family oral history, it was never John and Teresa's intention to remain in Europe; the purpose of the trip was only to visit family.

Upon marrying John, Teresa obtained derivitive United States citizenship; John had been naturalized in 1900. The children, Rina and John were born in the United States. The family is listed on page 42 of the Rochambeau's manifest on a page titled "List of United States Citizens."
