I have been away for quite some time working on a huge piece of the Faiella/Pasquale puzzle with big Brother John. He gives me huge homework assignments, geesh!
This is a little confusing, bear with me, but it is my hope that someone here can provide some more clues. I have info in other posts that I didn't bring forward not to make this even more confusing.
Our Paternal Grandmother "Velia Faiella" married our Grandfather Giovanni Pasquale and settled in Boston, Ma when they arrived from Prezza, L'Aquila, Abruzzi.
We have spent (it seems forever) trying to find out if Velia had any siblings.
Well, over the last 2 yrs. we have come to the conclusion that Velia indeed had a sister and her name was Filomena.
Giovanni also had a brother Roberto Pasquale, who sort of became a missing link but we believe also that we have found Roberto.
Here is the info we have found so far in picking the brains of the last of the "old timers" and need help to continue on.
In 1914 Guisseppe Montecaldo left (Prezza) and sailed from Naples, Italy to Boston. Ma. with his wife "Filomena Faiella" with their 10yo son Michele and 13yo daughter Giovanna only to be met on arrival by none other than "Roberto Pasquale"
Along for the ride was also "Antonio Montecaldo" who left his wife in Prezza (Giovanna Russo) to join his cousin "Roberto Pasquale" at North Square, Boston, Ma. which we have come to call the Grand Hotel....lol
Is there anyone who can help with any information on Guisseppe and Antonio Montecaldo, Filomena Faiella who arrived in Boston, Ma. around this time through census or draft cards etc. etc.?
So many of you have been so helpful in the past with helping us "connect the dots" which is greatly appreciated.
I apologize for such a long confusing post, this is the best info we have right now.
Grazie, LaBud
