Hello, I am still sooo stuck. I believe the last name may have been Braia possibly. I found his naturalization record only online and no census , Marriage or death record or anything!. He is only listed on my grandmothers wedding listing. They are John F Barnes and Josephine Brier.( NY). at the bottom are the parents names, Antonio and Catherine Boskovich, but the family name is Voskovitch. Antonio has on his naturalization record the date and he came over. Upon research one boat came from Portugal the day before and I found an Antonio Braia listed! but it shows him as being 5 (and a Laborer !) but if this was listed as 15, it is him then. I am pretty sure this is him. At this point, I am not sure that he is just the father and maybe they were not married? This part of the family is sooo messed up ha! It shows my GGrandmother (Josephine) was born in Bayonne NJ on her marriage info, but cannot find anything of anyone being in NJ, leads me to think she was just born there (?? just guessing). I did find a family with a Kathryn Voskovich, married to a Charles and they had a daughter Josephine. Family lore is that Josephine came over with another family on a boat to escape Europe and she took the family name, but, with her parents listed on the marriage info and showing her born here in the US. that is debunked. Its just that I cannot find anyone under any name. Thanks Corinne
