Casazza Antonio Manifest

[DebraRose]

Thank you I don't think that is him , His wife came to America after him on this ship Mendoza on April 19 1912 under her maiden name Carmine Barletta she is traveling with her son Vincenzo Casazza and daughter Maddalena C azzaza and her husband Pasquale Carpentieri, I was able to get my great grandmother death certificate she dies in 1932 and she was in America for 20 years, Antonio (great grandfather) was still alive. He is not buried with my great grandmother, so he might of went back to Italy, I cant find his manifest coming to America, I know that in 1930 they lived in Mt Vernon Ny, But I belived when they first came to Amercia they lived in Bronx, New York,. his name again is Antonio Casazza married to Carmine Barletta they are from San Nazzaro. thanks again.

- family address 1920 & 1930 census: 20 N Bond St, Mt Vernon, Westchester, NY?

Just wondering if you looked at the manifest vj posted earlier on...

Did they have a son named Giuseppe??

Antonio Casazza
a guess? vj

Would you happen to recognize the father's address on this manifest??

56 S. High Street, Mt. Vernon

Not uncommon for people to live with their middlenames...

Maria,
It appears your manifest find may answer some questions!
It seemed unlikely that there were only two children if Antonio
and Carmina were married abt 1885 (edit)
Great find.
and Mary's 1888 manifest find may have more clues - if the family
made multiple trips..

I was more impressed that we both posted at the same time and did not duplicate the info...

I am with you here.... the name Domenicantonio is certainly a possibility...

To say the name Domenicantonio is quite the mouthful...

"Anto" is much easier... seen this in my own family...

We really do need a list of the whole family...

I do hope the address of 56 S. High Street was the same address Domenicantonio lived at in 1910...

Nuccia's census record ... (nice find ) ! Gazzara??
Casazza... Gazazza ... Casarra... not an easy surname to work with...

mjones ( Mary ) Welcome aboard! Nice to see you helping out

I have to confess...vj found it....I just posted it!

I have to give credit where credit is due and vj definitely deserves it!

Mary, Maria, Nuccia,
What a team!
Hope we have the correct family - if not, there are a lot
of Casazza's in both Mt Vernon and NY.
Noticed a poster earlier (on rootsweb?) looking for info on
Maddalena Casazza Carpentieri.
Tomorrow back at the 1910 census - unless it's found before
then!

Thank you for all your help, this is the information I have on my great grandfather his name is Domenantonio Casazza born arount 1861 in San Nazzaro, married to Carmine Barletta their children are Joseph, Louis born around 1889, Maddalena 1892, James 1902. I have thier 1930 census they lived on N Bond St in Mt Vernon You mention Hight Street in Mt Vernon, NY the funny thing about that is my mother grew up on that street, and years later she would marry Antonio Casazza grandaughter Maddalena Casaza son John Carpentieri (mu Father) So how do I figure which manifest is his. thanks again Debbie

[DebraRose]

I believe the 1920 is my great grandfathers because it the same address as the 1930 census, and the ages are the around the same, also my great grandmother came over in 1912 can anyone tell me what his occupation was it looks like some kind of carrier. Also how would I find out where he died he is not buried with his wife. any ideas? thanks so much for your help everyone.

[nuccia]

DebraRose,

I posted on www.findagrave.com to find out where my greadgrandfather was buried. They were able to help me track that information down quickly...you might want to try it unless anyone has any other ideas???

Any ideas, I would love to know what happen to him None of my Aunts remember and my father has passed away. thanks for your help .
