Does anyone know if Louis Orovello and Louis Crovello were the same person? I have had no luck so far locating info on Louis Orovello.

 

[Franck Gavard-Perret]

According to Encyclopedia Titanica, the name of the Assistant waiter you were looking for was Louis Corvella.
You know that, in 1912, it was the early years of the Marconi system and some mistakes were done. That's why I do believe Orovello and Crovello was the same person.

Please, for instance, see the following article taken from ET archives. It's written "L. Crovetto, 17 [years old]".

From his own signature on the crew list, I make the name Crovello. He's put his surname first for some reason.
