D'Agosto from Yonkers, NY.

D'Agosto from Yonkers, NY.

I am trying to find out two bits of information on Angelo D'Agosto, who arrived from Salerno, Italy into USA about 1902 or so and settled in Yonkers, Westchester County, NY. Married Maria Grossi in July 1905 and lived in Yonkers through 1940. Name was gradually "changed" over the years to where by 1940 Census, was listed as Angel Costa (also was known as Accosta for a time). Had children named Sadie (my grandmother) and Frank, among others.

Need to know if anyone out there knows the following: (1) what part of Salerno that Angelo came from. His parents were named Francesco D'Agosto and Sabatella Farina. Angelo was born about 1880 or 1881 as per marriage record. (2) If anyone has any information on Angelo and/or Maria (his wife) after 1940. Am assuming they remained in Yonkers, but haven't been able to pinpoint a year of death in order to do a more thorough search.

If anyone out there has any information, it would be truly appreciated. Thank you.
