Sicily Records; DiNatale
« on: Saturday 04 November 17 06:55 GMT (UK) »
Looking for some info on my Great Grandfather Antonino DiNatale . He was born in Sicily possibly in the 1890's or so. He immigrated in 1921 from Palermo and I believe his place of birth was Furnari, Sicily.

I don't know a lot other than he used to run with some pretty unsavory fellas in New York. From what I understand he was shot and killed at a poker game. I was actually looking for an Obit or some type of newspaper article but I have had zero luck.

Thanks....

No, that's not him I don't recognize any of those names. Unfortunately I don't know the spellings of any of the children but he did marry a woman with the family name Santa Maria

I think it can be helpful to start with what you know and work back from there.  Do you know when/where he died?  If his children are deceased, what were their names and dates of birth & death?

The passenger list that you mentioned indicates that he was going to Johnstown, Pennsylvania to join his brother-in-law Antonino Ruvolo.  Do you know if he stayed in that area at all?  It also says his wife was Rosa Baglione and she was still in Italy.  Did she come over later?

Antonino was born on June 10 1895, in Furnari Sicile. Could not find an entry on the USA SSDI Index.
Rosa was born on February 28 1895, in Furnari Sicile. Could not find an entry on the USA SSDI Index.

SSDI - Social Security Death Index was up and running by about 1962/63 ish.

It appears maybe I gave you the wrong Antonino DiNatale possibly

I think his date of death was Jan 12, 1936 in New York City probably Kings County

He had a son Antonino DiNatale who was born shortly after his death in 1936 and died in Sacramento, CA in the mid 90's maybe 1994 or 1995. I was a teenager and my mom was close to him.

My mother's mom was Jenny but I don't know what it's short for.

The Antonino I am looking for married a Santa Maria but I don't know her first name
