italian name Leber

[murse1973]

My grandfather was born in Italy in 1899 and when he came from the US, he took the name Charles Angelo Leber. I know this is americanized so can some one help me find out what his last name could of been

Welcome to the Forum!
We would be happy to help you look.
What records (census, military, marriage) have you already found?
We wouldn't want to duplicate your research.
A quick search has a Chas Angelo Leber in OH in 1918, but he was born in Italy 1889 not 1899. This Chas Leber died in TX in 1972 ...
Thanks, Valarie

His SS Application should have his place of birth. Cost abt $30 to order

His SS# is available here if you don’t already have it:

Morning, vj!

Prety sure you've found this also. Still trying to determine place of birth

Hey Biff!
Thank you!, that's a great WWI card.
Interesting choice of surnames - Cinti had a big German community.
I think his place of birth is on his WWI card, but I can't make it out.
Pretty sure the family moved to Missouri by abt 1932.
Can't locate his WWII card.
It's a shame there's no next of kin on his death certificate..

Thinking to myself--Liberatore, Liberti, etc. But I could be completely off base.

Hi,
I believe that the birthplace could be Locana (Torino, Piedmont) and Leber could be Laboroi... just my opinion...

Don't know if this death certificate could be of any help. It's a 1939 Missouri death certificate for Charles Roy Leber, age 14 son of Charles A Leber and Mary Spatz... In this document Charles A Leber stated that he was born in Engleside - West Virginia:
