The link you sent me is a bad gateway, so not sure if that is the correct Alessandro.
He was born Nov 5 1863bin Pagani, Salerno, campainia. Father was Luigi mother was Philomena Gracia Marie Benendetto

Thank you Pippo for all your past help. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. The first of the Family was Alessandro Cinque. Not sure of the exact year he emigrated I believe it would have been in the 1880’s
