Rose Locasio married John Russo when she was 21 and he was 35 according to census record I have. Record states she came over in 1902, the same year her father came over, Carl Locasio; the spelling is without the C on the record and his. approx d.o.b is 1848 according to the same record.
The Russo Children:
Mary (1903)
Marian (married named Salvitti)
Anthony (married
Carlo J. (1908)
Anoinette (Nena) (1916)(my paternal grandma)
Rosa (1918, but who died before having any children according to my father's memory)
Rose Locasio had the following siblings according to my father's memory:
Pauline (married name Cerami)
Michael (who supposedly died in the 40's)
John
Angelina (married name Scalzo)
one of these also married Frank Ingo. I dont' know if it was Pauline or Angelina.
I am interested in Russo and Locasio and their italian origins. I have no idea where to go from here or where to begin my search in italy. I have been at this for many years and I am happy to share my census records with anyone who requests then. I can email the files to you.
take care and happy searching!
