Re: re: new york city resident directory

thanks.my library has world ancestry which has many city directories. unfortunately none for new york city/manhattan in those years. i checked both caldara and landino as well as alternate spellings. nothing. if the 1890 census had been complete the information might have showed them. 1900 was too l...

Re: re: landino surname variations

nothing else to go on. nothing on the death record like parents names or marriage info. no locality of birth other than italy. no obit as they didn't do obits then unless they were notables or longtime residents. never for a recently arrived italian immigrant. he was buried at calvary cemetery in ne...

re: landino surname variations

i have a death record for a francesco lidino,who died in new york in 1889. if its the correct record the actual surname was originally landino. could lidino be a corruption of landino? the information on the death record gives the age as 38,which would match his birth year of 1851. i think theyre on...
