Giovanni (John) Casale

[pink67]

Yes, and also Giovanni Battista's mother's maiden name is the same of his wife Antonietta....
Maybe they were distant relatives?

Laura

[maestra36]

definitely a possibility, Laura.

Here's your 1905 census image
I noticed another Casale at the same address, perhaps a cousin?
Recent immigration, perhaps he was joining John B ?

Hi Valarie
Thanks for uploading the census image. Also I was only looking at a close up of the top of the page and hadn't studied the names on the rest of the page. Maybe he was related to John B. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

seems the place of birth is in Salerno Province and not Abruzzi-town of Teggiano

Peg,
I was just typing this up
Good work !
Valarie

The family was at 158 Withers Street in Brooklyn. Gives his place of birth as Salerno, Italy...

...here is:

Laura

According to his naturalization papers:
born 17 Nov 1878 in Teggiano, province Salerno, region Campania
Great research Peg and Laura!

Thanks again for all your great assistance, Valarie.

[pink67]

Wow!! Grazie Valarie!!

So, also the arrival manifest is correct.... Nice research!
Congrats Peg!

Laura

What about this 13 june 1893 arrival manifest?
Same arrival date on the naturalization document!

G.B (sure for Giovanni Battista) Cassale, age 17 , travelling with his mother Maria Grazia Sabattino, age 52, going to Brooklyn?:

Hi Laura!

Birth Year: abt 1876 Age: 17
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/Race­/Nationality: Italian
Port of Departure: Naples, Italy
Port of Arrival: New York, New York

interesting note on John's 1910 Petition ---
His naturalization from 1899 was cancelled on 10 Dec 1908 because "I was not 21 at the time I secured my certificate"

[jbcleere]

I'm overwhelmed! You guys are awesome!

Withers street in Brooklyn is a good address, so I must have been wrong about where he was born in Italy. This gives me so much to work with!
Thanks so much for all your time. If you come across any info about his parents names please post, I will be watching.
