My husband's grandfather was James Don SENATRO originally Vincenzo SENATORE, He was from Saracena, Cosenza, Italy. He was born 17 Aug 1894 and was 18 years old when he arrived at Ellis Island on 1 Jun 1912 on the Venezia from Naples, Campania, Italy. He supposedly started a family (wife's name unknown) somewhere in the Eastern part of the country and had at least one child but after his wife died her family raised the child or children.
He then moved to AZ where he married Mary Ellen FANNON (b: 3 Oct 1908 & d: 22 May 1934) she died of TB and they had 2 children:
Louis (Gene) James SENATRO (b: 8 Sep 1931 & d: 21 Sep 1996)
Elizabeth (Betty) Jane SENATRO (b: 8 jan 1933 & d: 14 Apr 1987). My mother in law
James' brother:
Leone Dominic SENATORE (31 Dec 1887 & d: 17 Nov 1933 also of TB) arrived at Ellis Island on 14 Apr 1910 on the San Giovanni from Naples,Campania, Italy. He was also from Saracena, Cosenza, Italy.
Their parents wwere Luigi SENATORE died abt 1917. He was the son of Francesco SENATORE and Betta Unknown. He was married to Angela TUTYNA died abt 1916. She is the daughter of Raffaele TUTYNA and Unknown.
I would like to find out about his other family in the East and about his other family members in Italy. I have pictures of James Don and his children in AZ, grandchildren & great grandchildren that I will email to anyone interested.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Sincerely,
Jeannie Aguire
