According to Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com), a subscription website, Giovanina Ricciardi arrived in New York aboard MARINE FALCON on February 23, 1947 (not December 1947). She was described as age 59, a "houseworker," born in Scoppitto, Italy, and had obtained a visa in Naples on November 18, 1946. Her closest family member in Italy was recorded as her nephew, Giovanni, of Aquila, Italy. Giovanina was traveling to meet her husband, also named Giovanni, 2471 Belmont Ave., Bronx, NY. Does any of this correlate with your recollection or family history?
