grandfather born in New York
Married dec 19, 1937
Great Grand parents (fathers side)
Emelia Robustelli (maiden I believe is antouacci)
Domenico/Dominick/Dominic/Dominico Robustelli
Believe he emigrated around 1905 (+/- 10 years)

Re: Looking for Robustelli
I see there are two different naturalization dates for Dominick Robustelli. I assume the one you bolded is the more accurate one because it is a military record, rather than a census record.
Re: Looking for Robustelli
the more probable naturalization, second my opinion, it is the date declared on the trip of 1939:
July 29th 1919
http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/5886/robustelli.jpg
and not the 1917 nat. year as he declared in 1920 census

Re: Looking for Robustelli
Adelfio, this record is abt another Domenico Robustelli, also of Sarno, and with wife Virginia in Sarno and never before in USA;
the Domenico Robustelli ancestor of "newuser123" was married in New York and the wife was Emila Antonaccio; Domenico is in 1910 census living with parents in law.
Regards,
suanj
