Angella and Genuardi

Post by anononon »

Hey, I'm looking for family history; my ancestors, their names, occupations, etc, and cousins/relatives alive today.

My grandfather's name was Joseph (Joe) Angella, I'm not sure if he was born in Italy or the U.S, but I do know that he was raised in NY and died in NY (the Bronx). He was half Sicilian and half Napoli, but I'm not sure which of his parents were which. His father's name was Pasquali Angella, and he died in Florida, and his wife, the mother of my grandpa, 's last name was Genuardi. I have an ancestor named Gina Genuardi, who was a musician or an actress (I think).

Angella may be difficult to find; I think it might have been a modified version of my g-grandfather's last name when he came to the U.S.

If you have questions just ask.

Ah, yes, it was Pasquale, not Pasquali.
And those records.... So cool! I saw many names I had not heard before.

It looks like Francesco was the son of Giuseppe Angella and Caterina Iosilli based on the manifest information provided; but based on the ages, how could Caterina also be Pasquale's grandmother and how could Giuseppe be Pasquale's grandfather?

I'm guessing that the SSDI record for Giuseppe Angella is the same person as the one on the 1928 manifest.

Hi!
Biff, I'm pretty sure that Francesco & Pasquale are brothers.
(the manifest is probably off by one line - Giuseppe's mother, Francesco & Pasquale's grandmother.
Giuseppe made quite a few trips between the US and Muro Lucano.
His wife was Angela.
At some point before 1942 she joined Giuseppe in NY.
Francesco & Pasquale, both apparently born in Muro Lucano, joined their father in 1928 (Biff's manifest find).
There's a family page for Francesco Angella (with picture) on ancestry :wink: .

Interesting stuffz.

Yeah, I vaguely remember now that Pat had a brother named "Frank," so the father must have been Giuseppi.

Have you found any info on the Genuardis?

1929 manifest for Caterina Jasilli Angella, line 13

Page 2

Joining husband Giuseppe Angella in New York.
Previously in New York 1904-1910.

Valarie, Is it me or is this getting confusing?!

It is confusing.
One of Giuseppe's manifests had Angelina as his wife...
I suppose it's possible that there was more than one Giuseppe Angella born in 1891 living in NY?

- Do we have a list of children's and grandchildren's names?

This should clarify our confusion on Giuseppe's wife's name:

1938 manifest for Angela Caterina Iasilli Angella, line 8

Page 1

Page 2

Joining husband Giuseppe Angella. Previously in NY 1929-32.
Nearest relative in Italy: mother Carmela ?aura in Muro Lucano
