I am looking for any decendents of Felice Gasbarro who lived in Seattle WA from approx 1900 to 1929 and worked for Great Northern for many years-he came to Seattle from Brazil and before that from his home town of Civitanova Del Sannio in Molise, Italy. He was probably born some time in the 1880's. His father was Nicola Gasbarro. He left Italy for Brazil with a brother, Antonio Gasbarro who apparently had 12 children, 9 or which where male--it is rumored that most of those children moved to the state of Pennsylvania, probably in the earlier part of the 1900's.

Hey Laura,
Fancy meeting you here. You think that maybe we can find some more of us and start a band?? (joke). I wonder if the rest of the Gasbarro's out there have our twisted sense of humor? At least, if nothing else, we know where to find each other. How amazing is it that we all stared from the same place, we all ended up in different places, and now we're all looking for each other....typical Gasbarro's....everything ass backwards!!

hi laura, i hope you read this soon. i am astonded to see so many gasbarro's out there that we are probably related to but may never get to know. i can't seem to find anyone who might have a great-grandfather by the name of nicola or a great-great grandfather by the name of felice. over the years i have heard many different stories of our family being all over the u.s. as well as brazil and argentina. hope to hear from you soon. let me know if anyone contacts you about us.

While doing some web searching, I came upon this site that indicated you were trying to put together some family history for the Gasbarro family.

My uncle (now 72) tells me that his grandfather (John Gasper) and some of his brothers came to Ellis Island in the early 1900's and had his name shortened to Gasper from (his pronunciation) "Gasparoo". His middle name might have been Gerhart or Edward or something like that. They reportedly came over from the Alsace Lorraine region (sometimes in France sometimes in Germany). They settled in the Kansas City area. Does any of this sound familiar in your records search?

Sincerely,
John Harrison Gasper, Age 46
