Yes

I just replied.


FYI - he 1930 Census for Garibaldi Spallone in Hawaii gives his first son's name as Joseph. This is in keeping with the Italian naming tradition... named after the paternal grandfather

1939 City Directory in Hawaii...
Celeste, Garibaldi AND Joseph C. (father?) are all listed as residing at 1319b 16th Ave.

Wife Celeste Spallone is listed as divorced.
Son (14) is listed as Joseph Spallone.
Daughter Eleanor (16) is listed with last name Rapoza

I am related through marriages to Spallone family from Macchia Valfortore. Some left Italy for New York and others PA but at least one family that I saw moved to Connecticut (New Haven and Bridgeport). I know that if you dig then ylu can find the birth and death certificates for Macchia but I did this the manual way my looking at microfilms in SLC. I will have to see which Spallone I am related to but it seems like yoir relstive could have very likely been from Macchia Valfortore.
