My father was born in Macchia da Sole. He moved to Canada in the 70s and I believe that the last name Baldassaro is in our family tree. It is not our last name however, I believe that my great grandmother's maiden name was Baldassaro. Small world.

mery81,
Can you give me any more information on ...

Thanks Paul,
I wasn't sure which ship he would have come over on or where it departed from. I beleive he was around 9 when he left Italy with his 2 older brothers. But 1920 was too late as my mother was born in 1927. So I haven't had much luck in finding any information on him.

Hoping to hear that there is some information on my famiy from Abruzzo,
grandfather was Sal Baldaserro

Looking for those that worked for Baldassaro MacGregor Contracting company in Hamilton, Ontario. My mother's cousin Eugene Baldassaro is compiling information to write a book on how his company was an influence on the develpment and growth of Hamilton. Any information or pictures would be welcome ...

Maybe 324?

Hi,

Many families from Macchia da Sole moved to Hamilton, my parents being one of them, and my father worked for Baldasaro Contracting construction when he came to Canada. I don't know the first name but i will find out, but i do know that the Baldasaro that he worked for was from Macchia da sole ...

Thank you Peter,
I am still looking to hear from anyone from this area. What the town is like now and what it was like in the late 1800's early 1900's when my grandfather grew up there.
His name over here was Sal Baldassero. But it could have been changed when he arrived in Canada. Baldassaro ...

Looking for anyone from Macchia da Sole or who has been there or knows someone from there. This is where my grandfather was from and would like any information that is out there.

Thanks

where would I find information on ships landing in Montreal in the early 1900's from Italy? Is the port of entry where the documents would have been drafted for them to enter and stay in Canada?

thanks, Antonio and Domenico were brothers, I beleive. My great uncles.
Dominco was Antonios son, my mothers cousin.
I am still trying to backtrack to find which ship they took to get to Canada and from where they left Italy.

Looking for birth records of grandfather: Sam Baldassero( Salvatore), maybe Baldassare or some version of the spelling.
All I know is that he lived in Macchia da Sole. Mother is Mary and Father is Dom. He had 3 brothers and 1 sister I beleive. He was born on April 22, 1894.

Is there some info. on my grandfathers brothers? Joe and Tony Baldassero. Could be Antonio and Guiseppe as well. Spelling of the last name may be Baldassaro. They travelled to North Bay, Ontario as well from Montreal after landing.

thanks Bob,your information is correct. What I am looking for are ships logs landing in Montreal around 1906 from Italy. The challenge I am having as well is that I beleive that the spelling of his last name changed once arriving in Canada. He spelled it Baldassero, some cousins that came over ...

Is there somewhere that I can look for information on what ship that they took to get here and where it left from?
