Ferdinando was listed as 14 years of age on the passenger list. He went back and forth to his native country several times before he married Anna Brunetti on September 20, 1900 in Bojano. The couple came to America as man and wife on February 21, 1901. There were 6 Ricci children who survived to adulthood: Diomira, Linda (Tinda), Ferdinand (Fred), Anna (Tana), Armando (Arman) & Theresa (Terry). Three children died young; they were Gaetano, Linda and Teresa. Theresa Maria Carmela Ricci was the youngest of these children. All of her siblings passed on before her.
