    • Census: 1940, Buffalo, Erie Co., New York

    Notes:

    The 1915 New York State census says that he was lived in the US for 30 years, and was a US Citizen—so, had immigrated in 1885, according to this. In this 1915 census he is living with Antonio Palermo’s family and Serafino Palermo’s family—19 people all under one roof.

    The 1920 census records his year of immigration as 1885, that he is naturalized, and the date of naturalization as 1896.

    In 1890 an Angelo Battista, “peasant,” immigrated from Italy on 27 May on the ship Birmania. He was aged 39, so by age this may have been him, but no other information is evident that might confirm this. An Angelo Battista, aged 61, arrived on May 21, 1911, aged 61; he is described as an American citizen. The age is clearly close enough to have been him on a return trip. There is also an Angelo Battista about the same age—born abt. 1850—from Caccavone (?) in Italy who comes through Ellis Island several times (1894, 1898, 1911), and lives with his family in Canton, Ohio. His wife, Mary, died before 1910, according to the census. This won’t be the same person, but a relative, maybe?

    He was in any event living in Buffalo, according to Directories, by abt. 1903. Where were he and his family in the 1900 census?

    In the 1920 census he and his wife with their younger children are living in the same house as his daughter Rose’s family, at 259 Seneca St. in Buffalo—13 people in all, under one roof.

    The 1938 Buffalo City Directory lists Angelo Battista, with wife “Tresa,” living at 51 Myrtle. At the same address are Carmela, and George (as “lab,” or “laborer”).

    Angelo married Theresa Raimondo. Theresa (daughter of Modestino Raimondo and Francesca Grappa) was born on 4 Feb 1875 in San Martino in Pensilis, Campobosso, Molise, Italy; died on 5 Mar 1941 in Buffalo, Erie Co., New York; was buried in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Cheektowaga, Erie Co., New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 3.  Theresa Raimondo was born on 4 Feb 1875 in San Martino in Pensilis, Campobosso, Molise, Italy (daughter of Modestino Raimondo and Francesca Grappa); died on 5 Mar 1941 in Buffalo, Erie Co., New York; was buried in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Cheektowaga, Erie Co., New York.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Immigration date: Abt 1890
    • Census: 1905, 57 Myrtle Ave., Buffalo, Erie Co., New York
    • Census: 1910, Buffalo, Erie Co., New York

    • Residence: 1938, 51 Myrtle Ave., Buffalo, Erie Co., New York
    • Census: 1940, Buffalo, Erie Co., New York

    Notes:

    Last name is also Reimundi, Raymunda, Raimundo, Romondo. This specific birth record is an assumption; this record is the only Theresa Raimundo born in Campbosso between 1865 and 1880, according to the cited database. Other records would give her birth in Campobosso abt. 1872.

    According to the 1905 census, she had been in the US for 15 years, and according to the 1915 Census she had been in the US for 27 years. So, she immigrated in about 1885-88. I can't seem to find her on any ship's manifest. She would have been here by 1892 when her oldest child was born.

    In the 1920 census she and her husband with their younger children were living in the same house as her daughter Rose’s family, at 259 Seneca St. in Buffalo—13 people in all, under one roof.

    Two of her children, Mildred and John, married two children of Angelo Vaccaro.

    Birth:
    I assume that this is her, if this birth record is correct.

    Immigration date:
    date according to the 1905, 1920, and 1930 censuses.

    Census:
    aged 38; mother of 8 children, 8 still living. Note that the rest of the family follows not one but two pages later.
