That's great!

That was very helpful. Thanks, Wldspirit. I found some German relatives on the site.

Debbie,

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. I think I had to copy the location of the avatar (after you click "select avatar" AND in addition to selecting the one you want) and paste it, THEN save the changes. THis should work.

just testing avatar

Suanj,

Thank you so much! The info from Ellis Island on Carmela Siani looks like she is the one! Concetta did have a brother called "Frank" (Francesco seems right.)

The other women Maria Briscione , on the other hand, doesn't appear to be the one I'm looking for. She married a Cantore , not a ...

Debbie,

Antonio and Mary (Concetta) were married on January 18, 1914 at the Transfiguration Catholic Church, 29 Mott St., Manhattan, NY.

Mary's parents were Luigi DeLaurentis/DeLorentis (I've found these 2 spellings) and Carmela (this gets tricky deciphering this....).....what looks like it could ...

Sorry, guess I didn't clarify. Yes, I'm looking for the same person Antonio/Anthony Cantore (whose son is Anthony Cantore AND whose father is Antonio Cantore - 3 generations of Anthonys)

I just got his marriage certificate in the mail. I gambled and sent away for the marriage certificate of ...

I'm searching for info on Antonio Cantore born circa 1889 in Salerno, Italy. His parents were Antonio Cantore and Maria Brissione (sp?). I think he emigrated with his parents in 1897.

Thank you! l

The address I have for them in 1897 (at the time of Salvatore's birth) was 310 E. 107th St. in Manhattan. I can't believe they're not listed on the census. Bummer.

I'm looking for the Casara or Cassara family in Manhattan, NY in the 1910 Federal Census. (Could also be Casaro)

Carmelo/Carmine Casara (head of household)
Antonina Casara (his wife)
Salvatore Casara (son) - born 1897 in Manhattan, NY.
Anthony Casara (son)

There are other children whose names I'm ...

Rats, I thought I had found them. Thanks for clearing that up.

Someone was recently saying on one of the forums that Italian women often travelled under their maiden name. Is that right? It just got me thinking because....:

On the Ellis Island Passenger arrivals, I found, who I believe to be, my great-grandfather, Antonio Cantore. He arrived in New York in ...

Thanks, guys. It's always good to know I'm not crazy. Of course, I'm definately going to do some more research. Just thought that was pretty strange.

Got the birth and marriage certificate for great-grandpa. Last name for his mother on each document are so incredibly different (incidentally, she still has the same first name :wink: )

Antonina Groi
Antonina Dipari

The writing is distinct and unmistakable. Anyone have an explanation? Are these ...

I've tried to save an avatar from those given on the site, but everytime I log off it isn't saved. I've saved it numerous time to no avail - what am I doing wrong?
