————————————-

His wife Carmela was born to Ignazio Profaci and Dominica Lascala. She was likely Joe Profaci’s 1st cousin.

D’Agati immigrated with Gaspare D’Amico’s maternal uncle Antonio Lombardo and his kids. Also from Villabate, they were headed to his father Domenico D’Amico at 221 8th Ave, Newark, NJ

No idea if this Lombardo was a member but an interesting connection nonetheless

Sebastiano was also the brother of Joe Magliocco's brother-in-law Francesco D'Agati who was killed by Joe's father Giovanni and he was the uncle of member Gene D'Agati. Sebastiano and Francesco's own uncle Giulio D'Agate was the capofamiglia of Villabate in the 1910s-1920s until he was killed and Joe Profaci's brother Domenico Proface was also killed most likely in the same Palermo conflict.

This was Angelo Speciale:

Angelo’s mother’s maiden name was Mary Di Bella

Her father Antonio DiBella of Montelepre is listed as the family’s relative in Italy on their immigration.

———————

They immigrated to a BIL Filippo Tinervia living at 207 Johnson St, Brooklyn, NY. [The record says that was her brother, but I’m not sure] While that address doesn’t exist, there was a Philip Tinervia living at 227 Johnson Ave, Brooklyn, NY.

He was born Aug 16 1889 in Montelepre to Angelo Tinervia and Antonia DiBella. Interestingly, he was married to Angelina Misuraca, daughter of Pietro Misuraca and Rosalina Campiona. More importantly, she was John, Art, and Pete Misuraca’s sister.

By 1925, per their daughter’s birth record, the Tinervia family was living in Belleville, NJ. In the 1930 census, they were at 13 Frederick St, Belleville, NJ. This was next door to James Misuraca, another brother.

Their time in NJ was done by 1935; they had moved to the Bay Area and were living in Santa Clara, CA. In 1940, they were in San Francisco, CA living with Peter Misuraca.

————————

Montelepre and Giardinello are next to each other so it makes sense that these families could have known each other before moving to the US.

Angelo Speciale’s wife was from Borgetto. They were living at 66 Frederick St, Belleville, NJ. This was next door (74 Frederick St, Belleville, NJ) to future SJ Family member, Alexander Cammarata also from Borgetto. He married John Misuraca’s daughter Rose.

It would be really interesting to know if his mother was related to the DiBellas, also from Montelepre, in the Bonanno family. They also lived/were involved with Newark.

Here’s a member: Salvatore Cammarata
SALVATORE CAMMARATA
DOB: Dec 14 1915

This was the wrong guy. Here's the right one:

SALVATORE P CAMMARATA
DOB: 23 Oct 1918
POB: Belleville, NJ
F: Andrea "Andrew" Cammarata
M: Violante "Yolanda" Morici
W: Anne Lily Pignataro
Occupation: Worker - Rowe Manufacturing Co.
Address: 132 Milton Ave, Nutley, NJ
Prior Addresses: 74 Frederick St, Belleville, NJ
Death: Mar 18 2008
Family from Borgetto, Palermo, Sicily

- His brother Alexander was a member in San Jose and married John Misuraca's daughter

- His first cousin (father's sisters's daughter) was Rosalia “Rose” Pezzino who was married to fellow Colombo member Angelo Speciale

There were a lot of ties between these families. It looks like they immigrated together so they go further than just being from the same neighborhood.
