I would like to nominate them for some AWARD.

I would have NEVER found Angela Truglia and the 2 sons on the manifest!!

I have been told all Missouri documents are sealed and you must send in a request with $$ to get a copy!

Now let's look for Juiseppe (per 1900 census)Pusateri, dob 1860, died between 1910- 1920(per 1920 census) Anna Fasone's husband. They had a son Joseph dob 1899 that must have died?

Joseph 1899
Mary 1900
Jim 1903
Gus 1904
Tony 1906

If you would show me how, I could look them up

If you need "official/certified" copies, they likely do charge a fee for each document but some copies are available as pdfs.

Here's a link to the Missouri Digital Heritage site.

One of the sections is the Birth and Death Records database:

I located copies of the death certificates from here:

Great Team work!!! I'm happy we were able to help you!

I believe you'll like this newspaper article (october 30, 1896) talking about Gerolamo Gerardo...
title is "Italians for sound Moneys"

Um, I have been looking for the Kansas City Times or Journal all day......how did you find this?

See if you can find an article on Antonio Gerardi May 8, 1924. He was murdered in a mob related homicide.

[pink67]

I found the article here:

http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/search/pages/

by using the key Gerardo but the search goes until1922....

I spent a ton of time at the Genealogy archives looking for newspaper articles. Looking for obits etc.

All of your help has been enormous.......BUT.......

I CANNOT fine Giuseppe (jeiseppe) Pusateri born 1860. He went by Joseph or Joe and the last I can find is by 1920 his wife Annie Fasone was a widow for sure by her death Dec 20,, 1943 as possibly a widow prior to 1920. Ama Pusatri, head of household so, somewhere between 1900-1920 he died. They also have his name spelled Jeiseppe.

Ultimate goal..........DATE OF DEATH AND PARENTS NAMES!!

FYI -- I have emailed many public trees but no answers yet. Father may be Gaspare who I found a manifest to NY where he is going to Ohio to see son Guiseppe. This could be a different Guiseppe??

Best Wishes,

ALSO ......your hard work helped me trace Salvatore Gerardi aka SAM GIRARD (My great grandfather)who was arrested for murder but released for lack of evidence.

He fell off the map after 1920. Are their prison records online?

I'm not sure if prison records are available online but if he wasn't convicted there wouldn't be any prison record for him. However, there might be an arrest record and file at whatever jurisdiction arrested him.

Also, remember that he was in Missouri up till April/May1924 since he was the informant on his mother and brother's death certificates.

Biff -- RIGHT -- so I cannot track after 1924....

I have searched every version of Salvatore, Sam etc as well as Gerardi, Girard.

Also, I requested the Police reports and should have them by Friday. OMG - no wonder everything was such a secret and hush hush. His brother Tony Girard was a KC Cop who was murdered in a mob related incident. Maybe I should search Tony? good idea

[3lups]

Biff - found the parents under Antony Girarde!!! YAY

Now just the pusateri side........

[3lups]

STill no Death date for Sam Girard aka Salvatore Gerardi

[Biff83]

[quote="3lups] His brother Tony Girard was a KC Cop who was murdered in a mob related incident. Maybe I should search Tony? good idea [/quote]

Okay, I'm confused. The death certificate I posted for Tony shows his occupation as a grocer?
