Find Parents of Yolanda Pascale

[rp76226]

I've attached her marriage record* to John Ruggiero from another website that does not give parent names for their NYC marriages, but does give spouses. From her daughter who does not know who her maternal grandparents are, Yolanda Pascale was born on either April 1 or 2, 1913 in the Bronx, NYC and died April 17, 2008 also in the Bronx.

*Interestingly, it appears to have been a double wedding. I've found from that same website a bride of the same name (probably her cousin given Italian naming traditions) to a Peter J Horan - also attached.

This is the NYC marriage index.
You can order a copy of the actual marriage certificate on this website. It should have parents' names. Use the cert # and borough identified in the index.

https://dorisorders.nyc.gov/dorisorders ... al-records

It looks like the index with Yolanda marrying Peter Horan may have been a transcription error. Both marriages are referenced as cert# 3018

I found an obituary that has her two brothers and two sisters which is new information that might help. Also has her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Yolanda Pascale Ruggiero, age 95 beloved wife for 64 years of the late John L. Ruggiero of Yonkers, NY, passed away Thursday April 17, 2008 at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx. Yolanda was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother dedicated to her family. She loved traveling and was an avid bowler until the age of 91. Yolanda leaves fond memories for her two devoted daughters, Janet La Rocca of Yonkers and her husband Anthony, and Annette Puma of Trumbull, Ct and her husband Joe, six grandchildren Chris, Anthony, Jo-Anne, Scott, Joseph and Maria, eight great grandchildren Nicole, Scott, Kristen, Adrianna, Sarah, Amelia, Michael and Sofia and several nieces and nephews. Her passing will leave a void in the lives of her family. She was predeceased by her loving sisters Mary Pucci, Tillie Agnew and her brothers John and Fred Pascale.
Funeral mass Monday 11:45am at Saint Barnabas Church, Martha Ave, Bronx. Entombment will follow at Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, NY. The family will be present Sunday 2 - 4 & 7 9 p.m. at F. RUGGIERO & SONS, Inc., 732 Yonkers Avenue, Yonkers, NY.

Wonderful tribute!

Found this record of her marriage.
Parents are listed as Donato Pascale and Grace Serino.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2CV-QL5D

And here is her family residing on East 154 St., Bronx, NY in the 1920 US Census.
Surname written as Pasquale.
Donato was a carpenter.
Daughter Matilda (Tillie) was born in Italy, and Mary, John, Fred and Yolanda were born in NY.
Lines 91-97
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... 3AMJGG-XTT

In some census records Grace is listed as Mary. I think her given name was probably Maria Grazia, and surname was Serino.

Here is a marriage in NY in 1905 for Donato Pascale and Maria Serino.
You will find their parents names listed bringing you back another generation.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24MR-PBJ

Here is Donato's Naturalization Petition
He was born in Paduli, Benevento, on 23 March 1879.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... A8Q54-V7T2

Matilda's name was actually Mafalda.
Here is her birth in Paduli in 1908.

Continuing...

Here is the birth act in Paduli for Donato Pascale.
It includes an annotation of his marriage in Paduli (looks like 16 January 1908) to Maria Grazia Serino. So it appears they married in Italy AND in NYC.

#32 - image page 23
Dated 24 March 1879 - Birth hon 23 March 1879 at 3:30 PM, in the house in Via San Donato #36.
Father: Ferdinando Pascale, 36, carpenter
Mother: Anna Maria Bizzarro, his wife, residing with him
The child was given the name DONATO

And...
Here is the original birth act of Mafalda Pascale in Paduli in 1908
#78 - image page 54
The child was presented to the official in place of the husband because she assisted in the birth and because the husband of Maria Grazia Serino was away in America.

And going another generation back... father of Donato/grandfather of Yolanda
Birth of Ferdinando Pascale in 1843 in Paduli
#63 - image page 37
Dated 26 June 1843
Father: Giovanni Antonio Pascale, age 42, land surveyor
Mother: Girolama Minicozzi, his wife, age 40
Birth on 25 June 1843
Baptism at the local parish church on 26 June 1843.
Child given the name Ferdinando.

Tessa, you are amazing!! Thank you!! I had just found the 1920 Federal and 1925 State censuses, but you found so much more. It appears that Family Search has re-programmed its website, and not for the better. I find it more difficult to do successful searches on it. Also, the results appear as Webpages which can't be saved and posted on Ancestry.com instead of JPRG photos, thus forcing me to do screen prints, paste them on Paint, crop them, and then save them as JPEG, or am I missing something?

Thanks again. Is there any important information on page 2 of the Pascale - Minicozzi marriage?

Also, the link for the birth record of Mafalda Pascale takes me to a blank page in the front of the series of documents. Is there a better link?
