Are there any Pusateri's out there who originated in Caccamo? Also there are twins on the Pusateri side of the family. Do any other Pusateri families have a lot of twins?

Surnames: Pusateri - Carollo
Hi!
My great-grandfather Giuseppe Pusateri came from Caccamo in 1897 with his wife, Lina(Fusco), and 4 of his children including my grandmother, Providenza(Freda). My grandfather, Filippo Carollo, also emmigrated from Caccamo in 1900-1901.

Hi, Tom!

I haven't been on here for a long time.I noticed that you said your grandfather was Giuseppe Pusateri and that he was from Caccamo. I have been trying to find out more about the Pusateri side of the family from Caccamo. My great-grandmother was Vincenza Pusateri. She had a brother Fellipe. They both settled in Chicago Heights, Illinois but I do not know if they had other brothers and sisters. You are the first person I have seen on here that has Pusateri relatives from Caccamo. I do know that my great,great grandfather's name was also Fellipe Pusateri. I would appreciate it if you respond if you think there is any connection. Thank you Connie Corso Nykiel

Hi, Tom, it's been a while. I'm still trying to research the Pusateri's from Caccamo. What town did your Great-Grandfather, Giuseppe Pusateri settle in? What is your grandfather's name?

My Great-grandparents were from Chicago Heights, in St. Rocco's Parish. My grandparents were married there in 1908. My great Grandfather was Guiseppe and his two brother's we Antonino and Pasquale. His daughter, my grandmother was named Proviendenza and my grandfather was Filippo Carollo.

Hi, Tom!

Okay, our Pusateri relatives originated in Caccamo and then settled in Chicago Heights. We've got to figure this out, because it is very likely we are related. The information I got about the Pusateri side of the family was from Grace Biamonte who married a Marchigani. Her mother, Dora Pusateri and my grandmother were first cousins. The Joseph Pusateri that I have in my family tree has a birth date of Nov. 2 1895. This Joseph was one of the sons of my great great uncle Fellipe Pusateri. He could very well Have been named after a brother. It is also very possible that the common link is through our great great great grandfathers. His name was also Felippe but I don't know the name of his brothers or sisters.
Do you know your great grandfather's birthdate? Do you have a family tree on ancestry.com? My parents were married at St. Rocco and I was baptized there.
Also our pusateri's had a name change sometime in the early 20th century. Somewhere between 1920 and 1930 the spelling became Pastere. It was my cousin Joe Costello who told me the actual spelling of the name was Pusateri.
Are you on Facebook. I am trying to figure out a way that we can e-mail without putting up on acestry,com.

I'm getting very excited about this. Connie Corso Nykiel

Hi Connie,

You can email me directly at welliec5@netzero.net. I do have some bad news however. My great Grandfather Joseph, was born in 1867. His older brother Antonino was born in 1865 and his younger brother Pasquale was born in 1881. There may have been more but these three emigrated to Chicago. They were married in Caccamo and brought there wives and at least some of the their children were born there also. My grandmother was 8 when she arrived. Fortunately I had my grandmother for a long time. She until 1 week before her 102nd birthday!!!!! I was the listener and she was the storyteller. I just wish I was more inquisitive at the time.
Also another fact that you need to know about names...
They strictly followed a priority name list so as not to insult relatives. The first son was named after the paternal grandfather, the second son was named after his maternal grandfather, the second son was named after the paternal oldest uncle and so on. This also held true for the daughters. So if your father was the oldest, he was assurdedly named after is grandfather so you know his name.
My great grandfather Guiseppe was named after his maternal grandfather(Guiseppe Fusco) and his oldest brother Antonino, was named after his grandfather and father because my great father's first son was named after his grandfather and he was called Antonino also. So my Pusateri line goes as such, with out know dates Antonino/Guiseppe/Antonino/Guiseppe/Proviedenza(Frida)Pusateri-Carollo.
Unless these names are familiar in the time frames. I don't know where as I don't have a family tree listed so cousins tried but stopped and never tried to step on there work and worked on my maternal side of my family. However, there are a lot of Pusateris as my grandparents emigrate with 4 children and had 5 more after they got here. My great grandmother's maiden name was Fusco if that rings any bells!

Hi Connie,

I just realized that I had put a damper on the family tree thing with us, but be assured that more than likely, if your family was from Caccamo, no matter what the name, we are probably related. Caccamo is a very small mountain town about 15 miles up the mountains from Termini Imersi, which in turn is 15 west of Palermo. The mountian is steep and movement before cars, was only walking with donkeys so movement was very infrequent. There is two other names associated with my family from Caccamo...Faso and Geraci.

Surnames: Pusateri
I know I'm late to the party here but my family is originally from Caccamo, Sicily, Italy to Chicago Ill. My name is Pusateri. My father is Anthony Pusateri an only-child. His father is also Anthony (Tony) Pusateri B:1906, D:1966. He had a number of brothers and sisters, Ben, Sam, Mary, Joe, John, just to name a few. Their father was Pasqual Pusateri B:1881, D:abt 1954, mother was Josephine. I'm pretty sure they arrived in the sates in 1904. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Let me know and we can talk.

Thanks

Philip and I just spent time at the LDS Family Search Center in Salt Lake City to try and get more information. Anthony Pusateri that Mark mentions is not related to the Anthony Vincent Pusateri Rossetti. It seems that these are common names in Italy and Sicily much like John Smith in the US. We did find out quite a bit and are in the process of putting together a time line.

Connie, We know that you are related to my husband Philip B. Rossetti and will be in touch with some of our information. We are now going to do some advanced searching at the LDS History Library and look through micorfilm. We need to know where Grandma, Caroline Josephine Aerole was born and where the two of them, she and Anthony, were married. We will also be looking through records to determine if Anthony was naturalized and when. Any documents regarding the name change from Pusateri to Rossetti will be appreciated. Found out that Phil's dad's name is Philip Ermene Gildo Rossetti and he shortened his middle name to Ermin.
