from Gina (2ª)
Hello Juan Carlos. I am so excited to hear from you. I don't have a lot of information to go on. I began my search recently. My great-grandfather's name was Antonio Paradiso. He was from Palazzo San Gervasio. He boarded the Gallia (I don't know when) in Naples and arrived to Ellis Island (New York) on December 19, 1905 at the age of 27 (he was born in 1877). Ellis Island's records show that he was married when he came. Records also indicated that he was going to Cold Springs, New Jersey to stay with family. How he ended up in Colorado, I am not sure. At the age of 35, in Trinidad, Colorado, he married my (at the time) sixteen-year-old great-grandmother (she was an American born Italian). We have always wondered, since he was 35 when he married my great-grandmother, if he had been married before? I would like to find some relatives in Palazzo and find out what happened to his wife there. Did she die of disease, or was he suppose to send for her and never did? Did they have children? Since your grandparents emigrated around the same time, I have a good feeling we are indeed related! You certainly may post my letters, if you wish, and also, I will send some pictures; I am going to find one of my great-grandfather. I am also trying to find out his exact birthday so that I may try to get his birth-certificate and marriage certificate from Palazzo. I do not speak Spanish or Italian, so I very much appreciate your English speaking abilities. What are you a professor of? What do you teach? I live in Pueblo, Colorado. My grandfather, Rosario Sambino Paradiso (Antonio Paradiso's son) died some years ago; however, my grandmother (his wife) and my six aunts and uncles can't wait to find out if we have close relatives in Palazzo. My married name is Carter, but I go by Gina Paradiso-Carter. I can't wait to hear from you! Sincerely,Gina

Descendiente de las familias Paradiso y Abbatemarco de Palazzo San Gervasio. Me he propuesto reconstruir el árbol genealógico del paese, con la ayuda de todos.
I am also researching families from Palazzo. My relatives came from Palazzo San Gervasio through Ellis Island in the 1900-1909 time frame and went to Cold Springs, New York to work in the foundry. They then moved to Newark, NJ prior to 1920 and lived there till they died. My family names are Mastandrea, Murro, LaValle, DiPaolo. My Great Grandfather was Francesco Mastandrea born 28 Sep 1878, his parents were Antonio Mastandrea and Antoinette LaValle. My Great grandmother was Maria Ippolita "Pauline" Murro born 3 Dec 1879 and her parents were Guiseppe Murro and Teodora DiPaolo. Francesco and Maria immigrated in 1908 and 1909. I have found that alot of people from Palazzo went to Cold Springs, NY. My great grandfather always called them his Paisanos (according to my dad) but I wonder if they were saying Palazzos. I would love to get more information on these families and hoping someone have some information.
I actually live in Frisco, Texas.
Also my husbands name is Carter Smith (his mother is a Carter and he is researching the Carter line). I would love to hear from Gina Paradiso-Carter and share notes.
I do not speak Italian or Spanish so I hope I have filled this out correctly.
Sincerely,
Michelle Sileo Smith

Yo también estoy investigando las familias de Palazzo. Mis parientes vinieron de Palazzo San Gervasio a través de Ellis Island entre 1900-1909 y se dirigieron a Cold Springs, Nueva York para trabajar en fundición. Luego se mudaron a Newark, NJ antes de 1920 y vivieron allí hasta que murieron. Mis apellidos de familia son Mastandrea, Murro, LaValle, DiPaolo. Mi Bisabuelo fue Francesco Mastandrea nació 28 Sep 1878, sus padres fueron Antonio Mastandrea y Antoinette LaValle. Mi bisbuela era Maria Ippolita "Pauline" Murro nacida 3 de Diciembre de 1879 y sus padres eran Giuseppe Murro y Teodora DiPaolo. Francesco y Maria emigraron en 1908 y 1909. He encontrado que mucha gente fue de Palazzo fue a Cold Springs, NY. Mi bisabuelo siempre los llamó su Paisanos (según mi padre), pero me pregunto si quería decir de Palazzo. Me gustaría recibir más información sobre estas familias y en la esperanza de que alguien tenga alguna información. Yo en realidad vivo en Frisco, Texas. También el nombre de mi marido es Carter Smith (su madre es Carter, y él está investigando en la línea de Carter). Me encantaría saber de Gina Paradiso-Carter y compartir notas.
Yo no hablo italiano o español, así que espero haber llenado esta carta correctamente. Atentamente, Michelle Smith Sileo
