I'm Trying To Determine Where My Family Came From

[Thomas1968]

Angelo James Rinaldi (1938-1998)- Born and Lived in Cleveland , Ohio

Salvatore Rinaldi (1912-1952) Wife - Victoria

Angelo Rinaldi (?) / Wife - Elizebeth Della Ci*Pa ( The spelling is of Salvatore's Death Certificate )



I am trying to determine where the family came from so that I can do a Family Tree....I was told Sicily , but I'm not sure....Angelo and Salvatore are listed as being born in Italy , so I assume they arrived in 1912 or later....I would be thankful for any help that could be provided...Thank You !

Hello!
Just a few questions to help us help you...
Did Angelo actually go to the USA?
Were Angelo and Salvatore father and son?

Hello Thomas and Pippo
This is a possible manifest record Salvatore,

Here is the back turned where you can read it.

Birth Place: Naples N Italy
Arrival Date: 20 May 1939

If this is correct, there are some records online,

Thank You Everybody for your help !....This should give me a good start in figuring this out....I'm not sure if Angelo actually came to America or not....Originally , I assumed that Salvatore came as a young child and that Angelo would have come with him , but I will have to find out.

[Thomas1968]

From talking to my friend , who I am doing the research for , he says that he thinks that Angelo did come to America as well , but isn't sure....Some of the information that was shared in this post on his son Salvatore , indicates that Angelo was in Italy in 1939 .


Name: Salvatore Rinaldi
Gender: Male Age: 24
Nationality: Italian
Birth Date: abt 1915
Birth Place: Naples N Italy
Arrival Date: 20 May 1939
Arrival Port: Detroit, Michigan, USA
Accompanied By: Brother Antonio Rinaldi
Departure Contact: Father Angelo
Arrival Contact: Wife Vittoria Rinaldi

** I'm still looking through the information , but this appears to be the right Salvatore .

[Thomas1968]

If this helps Salvatore had other siblings a John Rinaldi and a Fannie per his obit. , but Fannie might of been single , since no married name is given....I was hoping by searching for them that I might find the Family's Town Of Origin , if they were also born in Italy or Sicily .

Once again..
The marriage of Angelo and Elizabetta,

Angelo's father, Giovanni, mother, Filomena Di Gataeno and per the marriage act, Angelo was born in Camigliano.

[Paolo47]

And here is Angelo' birth act. I am guessing June ? 1874. Father, Giovanni and Mother, Filomena Di Gaetano.
