Hello,
I beleive that my great grandfather arrived at Ellis Island and told them he was going to
this twon in Nevada.
I have no idea as what county is is in or even if I am spelling it correctly.
PALLINODE
PALlISSODE
I believe it is the top one.
I also think that it might have been a water stop for the railroad engines of the time.
All I know is that four young single men 18-23 years old, all from the same town in Italy,
all went to the same place in Nevada in 1901.
My ggrandfather's name was Michele Franceschi. knowing how young men are, they might
have played with their names to play with the US Gov. and exchanged last names.
