I have an Innocenzo turned James. I have always wondered where he got that from and where's the logic!

Hi ddiger:
I am a DiGeronimo also, born and raised in Montclair, NJ. If you are from there - or know people who are - you know that our family name is a very popular one in that town and in Essex County in general. My great-grandfather was also Angelo, though unfortunately not your Angelo. Anyway ...

Hi Mike. Sorry to take so long to reply. I don't get to visit the forum as often as I used to!
Anything you can find on the records would be appreciated. My great-grandparents came to the US in the mid-1890s under circumstances that were never discussed. All of their children are now dead - the last ...

Nuccia - I missed it by one day!
Happy, Happy Birthday to you!
I wish you health, happiness and the best life has to offer!

Love,
N

Hello to all my friends at Italian Genealogy!
I apologize for not being able to check the posts for a couple of weeks. I changed jobs - took a few days off in between - and I don't have the internet at home. Now, I'm working too hard to spend much time on the computer!
Anyway, thanks to Lisa, JCSM ...

Lisa - where did you get that manifest info? I just checked the Ellis and Castle Garden sites and came up with nothing. I'd really like to see it, if you can let me know. Thanks.

Thanks so much, Lisa. I truly appreciate your fine sleuthing skills! I also appreciate your offer to check Ancestry for me - I won't take advantage!

Very interesting information in the manifest. I didn't even think that Angelo - my great-grandfather - could have traveled with relatives. I really ...

Oh, my mistake. I don't have a subscription to Ancestry. I'll have to get to the library one of these days. Thanks anyway!

Thank you! I'm slow at work today and will give it a shot.

Hi, Lisa - No, nothing has materialized since last we spoke. I am still going to persevere and will post when I find something. Thanks for thinking of me!
To Shroud:
What street is it in Montclair? I don't know if you are from there, but a lot of people from Lacedonia - or from Avellino in general ...

Emmy's post reminded me of something my Grandmother used to do with us when we were little: She'd take us to the park and we would all pull up the dandelion leaves before they would flower. We would go home with a bag full and she would soak them, rinse them, then scramble them with eggs to make ...

You're right about the age thing! My Grandmother is one of thirteen kids - nine boys and four girls. All the boys died in their 60's - but all the girls lived to over 100 - 101, 104 & 102. Now, my Grandmother is the only one left - she's 97 and still mows her own lawn. My expectations are very high ...

Thank you all for your efforts. Much appreciated!
Unfortunately, that's not my grandpa - although I do agree that his name must be mis-spelled somewhere.
Lisa, I had thought about him living with the Quadrels. My information from my grandmother - recently deceased - is that he lived in an apartment ...

If you don't mind I'll tell you a story about this Grandfather and how he came to America.
When his father Angelo went home to find a wife, he had only one objective: to go back to his home in America. He was very upfront with his potential mates: They had to go back with him. But, after he married ...

Hi Girls!
Michael was born in 1907 and in 1930 he was single and living in Montclair, NJ. He didn't marry until 1934.
Love you guys!
