Looking For Naturalization Record

[jamiecapaldi]

Can someone please help me find the naturalization for my GUncle:

Vincent Capaldi
Born, 1902 Britain
Arrived in New York, USA 1948 and stayed in New Castle, PA.
Wife was Teresa.

All help is much appreciated?

Jamie, is this your guy? Ancestry family tree

Vincenzo Capaldi, born Dublin Ireland, Sept 19, 1902. Mother Marianna Giuseppa Tedesco, father Giuseppe. Married Teresa in Eversham, England Aug 25, 1925; died Nov 1971 in New Castle, PA.

My concern is that if Vincenzo immigrated in 1948, he would not have naturalized until well into the 1950's at the earliest. I believe that by that time a significant percentage of naturalizaations were performed in the federal court system. That being the case, have you considered trying a National Archives search?

I have a strong suspicion that both Christopher (born 1935) and Angela (born 1938), listed on the 1948 manifest, are still living. Perhaps if you can track one of them down?

Whitepages.com lists a Christopher and a Chris in the right age group... http://www.whitepages.com/dir/a-z/capaldi/christopher

With a little further research, it looks like maybe Vincenzo's son Christopher's middle initial was "J" (looking at the FreeBMD birth record). If so, then perhaps the Christopher J. Capaldi, aged 65+, in Loveland, Colorado is someone you should try to contact.


Question: was Vincenzo's wife Teresa also a Capaldi? It sort of seems that way...

Hello Carmine, Yes that is Vincenzo in my Family Tree.
You are right about Cristopher Julian Capaldi. I might try see if its the right one. (bit far from New Castle though?)
I would look at national archives, but i dont know where to start?

Teresa was the sister of Jim Capaldi's dad (the singer! http://www.jimcapaldi.com ) Nicola.
I have been trying to find the name of Teresa's and Nicola's Grandparents, to see if they have a connection with my Family direct. Teresa and Nicola's parents were Pasquale Capaldi (1868, San Michele) and Angelina Pinchera.
They lived about 6 doors away from my family in Edinburgh, and about 6 houses the other way was a Antonio Capaldi, who was my GGgrandfathers cousin.
Pasquale and his wife had many children and ended up in Evesham. Vincenzo's sister also married one of the Brothers called Carmino!
I have searched all the lds records and as they did not return to Cassino, their records were not revamped!

Thanks, Jamie Capaldi

I just chanced upon the following website and thought about you. You probably have already seen this. If you have, then maybe the website will be useful to someone else:
