Seeking family story DiTomaso from Casacalenda

Post by Jditomaso621 »

Buongiorno, my grandfather's name was John Antonio DiTomaso born in Casacalenda, Campobasso, Italy on April 27th 1895. He emmigrated to USA via Naples on the SS Cretic arriving Sept 11, 1912.

I am traveling to Italy and will be in the Casacalenda area from July 4th to 10th.
From there we will leave travel around various location Italy for another 5 days.
While in the Casacalenda area I hope to find and make connections with my grandfathers family. I am a musician and also hope to learn the local music.

If there are places you can give to help find my family and history while in Italy I would be eternally grateful!

Grazie mille! It seems I was right in front of the address when I was there last month. I will return again next year. It is indescribably beautiful in Molise, and I was very sad to leave.

Thank you for your help. Un'altra domanda, per favore: could you decifer the handwriting following Maria Concetta DiPaolo's name?
