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”). [12]
