Michelle MASTANDREA, LAVALLE, MURRO, DI PAOLO
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 a lot 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

Hello Michele,
I am also looking at my family tree and my ancestors came from Palazzo San Gervasio. I'm putting some information together now and what I have foound so far ios that my great grandfather's mothers maiden name was Angela de Paolo. She married my great great grandfather, Michele Ciniello. My great grandfather and great grandmother came immigrated to New Jersey in 1919. Contact me at jciniello@aol.com and I can try to give you some more information.

Hello!!
We have the same great-grandparents! My grandmother, Frances Mastandrea Spagnola, was a daughter of Frank and Maria Murro Mastandrea. My grandmother provided me with their names, Frank's city of origin (Palazzo san Gervasio), and the fact that they settled in Cold Springs. My grandmother is now dead, but her daughter, Joy Spagnola, resides in Union, NJ. A half-sister of mine, Christie Spagnola, resides in New Jersey as well. I am in Maine. Hope you get this message...it was quite a shock to read something on here from a distant relative!
