A hidden system of exploitation. And a family with no answers — until now. This is the true story of an Italian ancestor who vanished after coming to America — and how the forgotten padrone system may hold the key to what happened. In this video, I explore the darker side of Italian American immigration history — a part that's rarely talked about. From Ellis Island to labor trafficking networks, this is a case of identity, loss, and a system that failed thousands. Ivan lives in Italy, and his grandparents told him that part of the family went to America and was never heard from again. What could have happened to Giovanni Boscaro? Join me for an mystery episode as we discuss what MIGHT have happened to so many missing Italian immigrants. ► Melungeon + Redbones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyLd8rizXCQ&list=PLvzaW1c7S5hS0duqgK5mkBh_9aqIpbooI ► 👕 NYTN Merch: https://www.nytonashville.com ▶Download the first section FREE of my "Be a Good ancestor" course here: https://nytonashville.com/shoplola/be-a-good-ancestor-course-digital-download-videos-bjks6 FOLLOW ME 📸 ► YouTube: / @NYTN ► Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/findinglolafilm/ ► Website: https://www.nytonashville.com/ ► X: / https://twitter.com/ImFindingLola/ OTHER VIDEO PLAYLISTS ► Melungeon + Redbones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyLd8rizXCQ&list=PLvzaW1c7S5hS0duqgK5mkBh_9aqIpbooI ► "Who Counts as..."

My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana. Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born. Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we? *Amazon links are affiliate links.
