Dear Dan,
I am working on my family tree and just recently found my grandfather's "Register of Friends" from his funeral. In it all of the "Bearers" were listed and he name James Cusato appears along with a memorial card by James Cusato, 42-18 Broadman, Astoria 3, New York.
My Grandfather's name was Louis Lombardi, born April 23, 1910 and died May 2, 1963 in New Haven, CT. I have been told that his family came from Calabria.
I have never seen the name Cusato before in my research. I do not know if he was a cousin. All of the other bearers were.
If you have any information on this person please contact me directly at

Thankyou,
Phyllis Lombardi Siclari
