Castillente Tommaso is recorded in Ellis Island in 1909, coming from Lanciano. He was 26 years old, and the address he left in Italy was that of his father Gaetano. You can check yourself on the ellis island website, and if the details correspond, the original spelling was Castillente, and in Lanciano there are families with that surname.

If you need further help with research, you can contact our genealogy section at italyheritage.com supplying all the details you have.
