Kristen,
Thanks for your info! I have actually requested copies of my grandparents SS# applications, which lists their parents (my great-grandparents) names on the application. I'm at work today, but I will post it when I go home tonight. I am 32 yrs old and I have two brothers, 29 and 26 yrs old. My grandparents names were Frank Carideo and Lena (Pasqualina) Carideo, and they both lived in Boston. Lena actually grew up in the North End in Boston, which is equivalent to either Arthur Avenue in the Bronx or the old "Little Italy" in New York. Well, hopefully I'll get some more responses to see if I'm related to anyone here in the New York area.

: : My name is Michelle Carideo. I am from the Boston-based Carideo's, specifically Everett, Massachusetts. I have done some research at The Ellis Island records bank, and come up with a 'Giovanni Carideo' who came here in the early 1900s. I do know that my family emigrated from Avellino, Italy to the US. I now work in Manhattan, but all of my family still lives in Boston. I know that my father, Pat Carideo, who also lives in Boston, had some relatives in New Jersey that he had visited when he was little, but I don't have too much info on them. I am trying to put together a family tree. If anyone has any info, that would be greatly appreciated.

: Okay. Here's what I know of my side of the family. I am young, 3rd generation American. My great-grandfather's name was some version of Fred (though I think that was anglicized). His son, my grandfather, was named Henry. He had siblings named James, Margaret, Fred and John. I know that at least some branches of the family were illegal, and therefore would not appear in the Ellis Island records, though I believe there were a few who had a port of entry at Boston. I know of no Giovanni on my side of the family.

: A town name I have come across (I did a brief research project in 7th grade) was the town of Denticarne (or Denticane) 30 miles north-west of Naples, although I think the family is originally from Calabria, further south.
