My grandfather's name was Mauro Cardone. He was born on Mar 28, 1881 and married
Maria Carmela Schiro born 1880. While still in Italy they had two
sons Michele Arcangelo "Mike" and Dominic "Dee". They immigrated to
America in the early 1900s and settled in Glen Lyon, PA, later moving to Nanticoke,
PA. There they had more children Anthony, Daniel, Frank, Costanza, Madelene (my mother),
and Emmanuella. My grandmother (Maria) died and my
grandfather went back to Italy brought back a new wife, Emilia and their children were
Teresa, Angeline, John, and Joseph.
Two of my grandfather's siblings were Dominic Cardone who settled in Pittsburg, PA and
Manuella Cardone who married Pasquale Pizzirusso and lived in the
Nanticoke area. I know he had one other brother who stayed in Italy, and he may have and
other brothers and sisters.
He came from Melfi, Italy. Rionero is about 9 miles away from Melfi while Pietralcina is
about 70 miles away. 70 miles would have been quite a distance before cars.
Maybe we should compare other notes
