Santanello or Santinello, Pasquale and Jennie

[Cherie]

Dear Suanj,

You did so much work on this and I cannot thank you enough. You have indeed found my great-grandparents. The special part was seeing how my grandfather (the oldest son John) and grandmother (his wife Eleanora) struck out on their own and had two children. That census information was so interesting! I only wish it listed more than ITALY for their place of birth. I can't find anything for the towns they came from in Naples. So in your opinion, what was the original name from Italy? And is it true that in Italy, the woman keeps her maiden name even after marriage?

Thank you so very much for your help.

I am pretty sure that he was born in Bracigliano, and by marriage record we know that the father was Giovanni Santaniello and the mother Francesca Petacca.
The his birthdate on WWII draft registration card is a bit wrong, because by Salerno archive this record is your Pasquale:

Cognome: Santaniello
Nome: Pasquale
Classe: 1888
Comune di nascita: Bracigliano
Full text:
Santaniello Pasquale di Giovanni e Petacca Francesca nato il 28/02/1888 a Bracigliano di professione
so he was born in Bracigliano on 28 Feb 1888 son of giovanni Santaniello and Francesca Petacca...
so doubts...
