Hello board: My name is Barbara Ritola and I joined Gente to further my research of my Italian ancestors. I'm in need of some help regarding my paternal great grandfather, Angelo RUOTOLO, who was born @1878/9 in Trentinara, Campania, Salerno. He is the son of Pasquale RUOTOLO and Maria ? (No maiden name). Angelo came to the US on the SS Lombardia on 3 Nov. 1905, leaving a wife Rosalina (nee CORRENTE) and child, Pasquale (born 23 Sept. 1903) in Trentinara, until he could establish himself in the US. His wife and son came to America to join him in in 1908, arriving on the SS Mendoza (25 Jan 08) . They settled in Jersey City, NJ, until Angelo died in July of 1909 (yes, only a few years later! ) of typhoid fever (he's buried in Jersey City, NJ). So here's where I need help: Since Angelo died so quickly after coming to the US, I'm having trouble finding family members either in the US or in Italy. No relatives traveled with him to Ellis Island. He did come to see a Lorenzo FRAIESE (cousin also from Trentinara), but that's about the only link I have. Since I don't have an exact date of birth for him, I'm not sure where to start with trying to find information in Italy. Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried to give you as many names as I know at this point. THANK YOU for any help you can provide. Best, Barbara |
