Altomare /Palazzo from Rogliano Strongoli

Post by boopies123 »

Looking for the parents of Giovanni Altomare, born 9/9/1874 Rogliano Cosenza Calabria. Her parents were Marco Altomare and Maria Palazzo. He came to the US in 1902, 1907, 1912 and 1913, bringing with him his wife, Maria Teresa Varano, and son Guiseppe and Luigi. He first settled in NY, then Argentine PA (also referred to Hilliards?) then about 1920 relocating to Kulpmont PA. My grandmother said he had a brother and or sister in Brooklyn NY.

He did have a brother, Carmenuci, living with him in Argentine in 1910. Carmenuci was born about 1867. He was gone by the 1920 census. He went to South America--perhaps Venezuela. He was found coming off a ship to visit Giovanni "Carmino Altomare Nov 09, 1903 Curacao, DWI deporting from Caracas Venezuela" It stated he was going to visit his brother Giovanni at the Hilliards PA.

Other siblings were possibly a Maria Teresa, and a Francesco (these would be the NY relatives) There may have also been a Michelina as my grandmother was named after an aunt, as she was told.

Trying to 1. Locate the parents in Italy.
2. Find relatives of Carmenuci in Venezuela
