The house Guiseppe Cammilleri and Angelina (Cannistraro) lived and raised Esther and Grandpa. The farm was the land they worked, but birth and living was here. According to official city records.
Cannistraros lived on this street, as well as Francesco and Maria (Spataro) who lived in the same building.
@orzo09 Actually, I think Jean's real name is Pasqua, or Esther. I had Frank and Maria's children's birth certificates pulled when I was there. They actually had a 1st child that died after 10 months, also named Pasqua. Not sure where Jean comes from. Unless they had another child in the US. Esther was Dick Whalen's wife - or so I was told. Not to be confused with the other Esther Cammilleri (my great aunt) who marred Robert (Bob) King. I have these records if anyone is interested.

Thanks Michael and Andrea! Francesco is your great great Uncle Frank and his wife Mary. I never met her. She had major health issues and was hospitalized for many years. They had one child Jean Whelan who was my godmother. She was married to Dick Whelan. Aunt Esther visited the home in the early 60's and took a picture of the balcony.
