CAMPAGNARI FAMILY

[POOH_HART]

LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION ON CAMPAGNARI FAMILY. MY GRANDFATHER WAS GUY ANDY (GAETANO) BORN IN 1881 IN ITALY, HIS FATHER WAS VALENTINO AND HIS MOTHER WAS MARIA. WE THINK HE HAD A BROTHER NAMED FORTUNATO BUT NOT SURE. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. THANKS, PAT POOH_HART@YAHOO.COM

Hi Pat and welcome to the forum.

I found 2 manifests for Gaetano Campagnari born the same year as the person you're looking for. Take a look and see if one of them may be correct.

Line 14...........going to Lancaster, PA
http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0014

Line 21...............no address of where he's going to
http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0021

Do you know the comune, province or region in Italy where he was from? The more details you can give the easier it will be for someone on the forum to help you. What year did he come to USA, was he married, if so in Italy or USA, wifes name, his siblings names, approximate years of birth, did they come to the USA too etc.

Regards,
elizabeth

I ALSO SAW ALL THIS INFORMATION, BUT I HAVE LISTED THAT GAETANO'S BIRTHDATE WAS JUNE 7, 1880 ACCORDING TO HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE. THE BIRTHDATE FOR THIS GAETANO DOESN'T MATCH, AND I HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT HIM BEING MARRIED OTHER THAN MY GRANDMOTHER EASTER PACE. I KNOW THAT HE MARRIED HER TWICE BECAUSE HIS FATHER INLAW DID NOT GET THE PAPERS REGISTERED SO THEY GOT MARRIED AGAIN. I KNOW THAT HE CAME OVER AND WENT BACK AND CAME OVER AGAIN BUT I DON'T HAVE DATES THAT I CAN SAY ARE FOR SURE I KNOW HE CAME OVER WHEN HE WAS 16 I THINK. SO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. COULD THIS STILL BE THE SAME PERSON. I JUST AM NOT SURE AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT MAKING SURE. ANY INFO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR QUICK REPLY. PAT

[POOH_HART]

HELLO AGAIN,
ALL OF THE ANDY'S THAT YOU HAVE LISTED ARE INFACT MY GRANDFAATHER. HIS NAME WAS GUY ANDY CAMPAGNARI (IT SAYS ANDREW ON HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE). I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT GAETANO TRANSLATES TO GUY ANDY SO THAT IHES WHAT HE USED I GUESS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT HE OPENED THE FIRST SPEAKEASY IN PA. SO HE DID GO TO PA WHEN HE CAME HERE. FIRST ON OCT 22, 1913 AND THEN AGAIN APRIL 10, 1927. IN HARLAN KY. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT HE HAD A BROTHER THAT HE HAD BOUGHT SOME PROPERTY FROM IN ITALY AND THAT HE HAD GONE BACK TO ITALY AT ONE TIME AND SOLD THE PROPERTY BACK TO HIS BROTHER BUT I DON'T KNOW THE BROTHERS NAME. SO, HE WAS MARRIED TO EASTER PACE, HE HAD ALL THE CHILDREN LISTED ABOVE (MY FATHER WAS ALBERT) AND THIS IS ALL THAT I HAVE. I HAVE CONTACTED A BRUNO CAMPAGNARI IN NEW YORK AND HIS DAD ERNESTO AND MOM GISSELLA WERE ON ONE OF THE SHIPS COMMING OVER FROM SAN ZENO SO HE SAYS HE THINKS THAT WE ARE RELATED AND HE HAS ALOT OF INFO AND SAYS HE HAS A FAMILY TREE AND I HAVE TRIED FOR 3 YEARS TO GET THIS TREE FROM HIM WITH NO LUCK. HE DID CONNECT ME WITH A SILVINO CAMPAGNARI WHO IS STILL IN ITALY (HE OWNS THE CAMPAGNARI BAR) AND HE SAYS HE HAS A VERY LARGE FAMILY TREE DONE AND I ASKED HIM IF HE COULD SEND ME A COPY (I EVEN OFFERED TO PAY FOR IT) AND AGAIN I HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE SO ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATE. AND I WAS ONLY TOLD THAT HE WAS FROM VERONA ITALY. THANKS FOR ALL OF YOU BEING SO QUICK TO RESPOND. I WILL BE WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU; THANKS, PAT

[POOH_HART]

THIS IS THE ONE THAT MY SISTER TANA THOUGHT WOULD BE RIGHT AND THAT IT LOOKS LIKE FORTUNATO IS HIS BROTHER BUT HOW DO WE FIND OUT FOR SURE. AS YOU SEE MY SISTERS NAME IS TANA (GAETANO) SO WE THINK SHE WAS NAMED FROM THIS. ALSO MY DADS NAME WAS ALBERT AS WAS THE SHIP. TOO MANY COINCIDENCES FOR ME BUT I NEED TO KNOW FOR SURE. LEAD ME TO WHAT TO DO NEXT. THANKS, PAT

[Tfournier]

My name is Tana Fournier and I am the sister of Pat Campagnari. We have been all through the Ancestry.com website and the ellisisland.com site as well. We are looking for an Italian site that we can find Geatano and Valentino Campagnari with some kind of family connection, dates and other items to review. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Tana

Can the spelling be Compagnari??
I have Guy Andy Compagnari death1/18/1957 in
harlan County, Disney Kentucky

Hello Peter & Tana & Pat!
If I may, yes you have the correct fellow.
Isn't that a wonderful 'americanization' of Gaetano?

Quick summary:
Best guesses from the US records found
(on 2 posts):

Family probably from San Zeno di Montagna, Verona

Parents:
Valentino Campagnari
Maria Domenica Chincarini

Sons:
Fortunato Gaetano Campagnari Dec 1875-8
Gaetano Campagnari Jun 1880-1
(edit to correct Gaetano's name)

Thanks!
Valarie

[POOH_HART]

GUY ANDY COMPAGNARI IS ACTUALLY CAMPAGNARI, THERE WERE ABOUT 4 DIFFERENT SPELLINGS. PART OF THE FAMILY USES CAMPAGNARI AND PART USES COMPAGNARI. WHERE DID YOU FIND THE FORTUNATO GAETANO AND GAETANO AND WOULD THEY PUT THE SAME NAME ON 2 CHILDREN, I DIDN'T THINK THAT WOULD HAPPEN SO I ASSUMED WE HAD THE WRONG PEOPLE. SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THIS INFO AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU MIGHT KNOW. THANKS, PAT
