Giovanni D'Antonio

[jcravi]

I'm looking for information on Giovanni D'Antonio born Jan. 10, 1885 in Angri, Italy. He married Elvira (no last name) on 9/09/1908 in Angri, Italy. Elvira was born on 6/02/1888 in Utiona, Italy. I cannot a record of that town but assume it was close to Angri. They emigrated to Brooklyn, NY 1910. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
