Great gets T.
Our poster kat should be very happy. There's another thread on her grandmother Maria Urgo's side. I've been trying to locate Tommaso and Maria's marriage record since they both were from one of the boroughs in New York, but no luck. Same goes for 1920 census information on her or Tommaso.

Re: Thomas Capurso
while searching ny marriage records I found Mary Urgo and Vincent Azzalo cert.#6643 fro 14 Feb 1915 also cert.# 2856 for 21 Jan 1915 both from Manhattan, NY. Don't know if this is my grandmother or not. I do know it could be another Mary Urgo.
Re: Thomas Capurso
In order to determine if that is your GM you will need to request it from NYC Vital Records for a fee... I think it is about $15
