Notes for ERNESTO LOUIS GRANDELIS:
Born Ernesto, changed his name to Ernest after arriving through Ellis Island New York in 1902. His name is still Ernesto on the Ellis Island records.
Born in Poprad, Czechoslovakia. As of 1998 Czechoslovakia has been split into two countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Poprad as of 1998 is now located in Slovakia.
Stone Mason. Died at age 40.
Before leaving Italy for the United States, Ernesto lived in Belluno Italy. Belluno is located in the Province of Belluno (BL) and the Region of Veneto (VE Italy).
Came to the US with Luigi Grandelis. Worked on the Library of Congress as a stone mason where he met Congressman Sibley. Congressman Sibley convinced Ernest to move to Franklin, PA to work on his farm.
According to the Ernest’s and Virginia’s marriage licence, Ernest Grandelis was born Dec. 8, 1881 in Hungary. Ernest as living in Galitzin, PA at the time of his marriage. Virginia was living at 43 Spring Alley, in Pittsburgh, PA. The marriage licence blanks were filled in by another person, not Ernest. Since Grandelis is spelled wrong on the marriage license, it is believed that Ernest’s birth date was also entered wrong. We believe this because the handout provided at Ernests death says he is 40 years old. Since he died on November 13, 1925, 40 years would make his birth date in 1884, not 1881. The marriage license states that Ernesto was born in Hungary. According to Lorraine Grandelis, during the 1884, hungary owned Czechoslovakia.
Immigrated to the United States with cousin Luigi Grandelis on April 1, 1902 through Ellis Island, NY.
The following is information from the SS Batavia ship’s manifest concerning Ernesto Grandelis and his arrival at Ellis Island, NY.
