Margaret, my wife's family has Cafaro's. Her grandmother was Antonia Cafaro born in Vietri di Potenza about 20 miles East of Salerno. Any interest? Joe

I am interested - My grandmother's name was Margaret, grandfather - Alfonso. They were from the town of Cava di Tirini, Province of Salerno. To my knowlege, my father (Felice) and his father (Alfonso) were the only family that migrated to the U.S. There were six other brothers in Italy. Let me know if you have any further interest. Marge

Marge..the town of Cava de Tirreni and Vietri di Potenza are about 35 KM apart. My wife's grandmother..Antonia Cafaro immigrated from there in 1912. They wound up in Phila. Her 3 brothers and 2? sisters settled in Pittsburgh. It is possible that the 2 families could be connected somehow..who knows?? Have you visited your local Family History Center run by the Church of Latter Day Saints(Mormons)? I have located films of Births Deaths Marriages for Vietri di Potenza from 1868 to 1910.Much data...Joe Brady

I have just begun my search. My father emigrated here in 1920, his father was already here. My grandmother never came over, there were marital problems. She eventually married my grandfather's brother, name Umberto, and they had a daughter named Nina. My grandmother was Margherita. There could possibly be a connection. My grandfather settled in Wappingers Falls, NY (near Poughkeepsie) and had two more sons with his second wife, Joseph and Nicholas, (Joseph is deceased but Nick still lives in Wappingers Falls.
I have not checked with Church of Latter Day Saints - there is one in the next town to me and I will research it as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for your help.

There are many Cafaros in the United States. The head of AM Records is Al Cafaro. One of the largest shopping mall developers in the United States is in Youngstown,Ohio. He has been featured in Forbes magazine many times. He is JJ Cafaro. One of the designers of the Pontiac Fiero and the Chevrolet Corvette is John Cafaro and there is a big winery in NAPA, California named Cafaro Vineyards. We are all related somehow and based on the success of these folks, it was worth the trip from Italy. The American Dream!!!!
