I am still trying to find out who my great grandfather, Luigi (Aloisio) D'Ambra(b.17 nov 1846)son of Giuseppe D'Ambra (abt 1812-1896) and Maria Giuseppa Lombardo (abt 1818-1874) and his son Michelangelo(1882) and daughter Maria(Marianna)(1878/1880)came from Italy to visit family in Providence RI in May 1896 from Ellis Island, NY before going to Philadelphia to marry my grandfather Giovanni Giuseppe he also called himself John J or Joseph J Castaldi (1858-1925)on Sept. 14, 1896. Maria's mother was Eleonarda Iacono D'Ambra. Let me know if you think there could be a connection in our families. My father was Francesco Castaldi (1915-1994)#12 of 13 children and the family names I am looking for a connection to are Carmela, Salvatore(b1900) and Margaruite (b1917). The others I can find on the Castaldi family side, but I am guessing there names were from the D'Ambra/Iacono side of the family. If this sounds familiar to anyone please let me know. Thank you.
