Siano family genealogy

Hi Louis:
Well, we are certainly cousins. My father was Frank DiSanti and my mother was Louise, your father's sister.
It's been many years since I left the Springfield area. I left there in 1959 and have spent most of the time since then here in Maryland. The only one I stay in touch with is my sister and I rarely venture back to Springfield.
Just for future reference, I live very close to the National Archives and the Mormon family research history library in Washington, D.C. They are less than a 1/2-hour's drive from where I live. If you ever need any reference/research done there, let me know.
Barbara and her husband Bill (Danenza) still live in Chicopee.
Just by coincidence, she and her husband were here this weekend, travelling back home from Florida. She would like you to get in touch with her. Her e-mail address is wudpooh@aol.com. I know that she tried to send you something via regular mail recently, but it didn't reach you. She has a picture of Papa and his wife (Nicoletta), and four small children - Uncle Mutt, my mother (Louise), your father Angelo/John, and Aunty Yolly. Also, I gave her a copy of Papa's application for Social Security, but I don't have a scanner for the computer. If you give her your e-mail address, she can send you copies of the pictures and the documents.
Anyway, my sister Barbara and I have been doing some of the family research and this is what we've found out about the Siano side of the family so-far:

Luigi Siano
b. 2-8-1889 (in Italy);
d. 1983 (age 94);

Nicoletta (Papaceno) Siano (Papa's wife)
b. 1894 (in Italy);
d. 12-30-1946 (age 52);

Mateo Siano (Papa's father):
b. 1858 (in Italy)
d. 10-22-1943 (age 85);

Louisa (Aniello or Raino) Siano (Papa's mother):
b. 1858 (in Italy)
d. 1910 (age 52);

Giovanni Papaceno (Nicoletta's father);
Maria Papaceno (Nicoletta's mother).

I think that most of the information we've recovered is accurate, but their is still some confusion over Papa's mother's maiden
name (Aniello or Raino). I'm still looking into that.
If you have any information at all on when Papa and Nicoletta emigrated to this country, I would love to know, because that is the next step that I will be pursuing.
I will be trying to identify when they arrived here, where they came from, the name of the ship, when they became citizens, etc. I believe Papa and Nicoletta arrived in 1902 and were naturalized as citizens in 1919.
I also gave my sister a copy of the 1920 census that shows the data on the Siano family at that time. I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing that. It lists the address (Lombard Street), members of the household, ages, citizenship information, education, country or origin occupation, etc. It's a wealth of information.
I hope you find this information helpful. Please stay in touch and get in touch with Barbara, she's waiting to hear from you,and I will certainly keep in touch.

Frank
