Could be the same guy, as he was the right age and there was a Domenico Catalano who arrived in NOLA in 1890 born in 1876. I think it's a good bet this was him.Antiliar wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 10:39 pm I looked into Catalano years ago and thought that the one born in 1876 was the closest match to the friend of Paolinello. I scoured the newspapers for an arrest hoping that he was arrested with someone named Paolo, but not luck. I did find a Domenico Catalano of Chicago who was arrested in New Orleans in 1909 and sentenced to 15 years at Louisiana State Prison the next year, along with Giuseppe Frangiamore and Oscar Ryan, both also of Chicago. It's possible that this is the same person, but aside from being from Chicago the newspapers don't give identifying information like ages or addresses. According to the 1910 census he was in Angola State Prison, was born in 1877 and had been married for 11 years.
EDIT: Was this Giuseppe Frangiamore incarcerated with Catalano in 1915? If so, I don't see him resident there in 1910. There was a Giuseppe Frangiamore born 1872 in Acquaviva Platani, Caltanissetta (wife Ignazia was from Termini) in Chicago who was a jewelry store owner in Little Sicily in 1910. Later he lived in Humboldt Park and died in Chicago in 1946. There was also another Giuseppe Frangiamore from Acquaviva in Chicago, but this other guy was born in 1895, so maybe too young to be the guy with Catalano.
