No, don't know any of those names. My family's names were Solimando and DePuglia.

them in a place they worked without
knowing their last name or I knew folks who knew them:)

Hi Mack,

502 Emory Avenue,
Anthony Solimando was my grandmother's brother, I guess he would be my great-uncle.

Wow,

Thanks Mike. I am sure they are all related to my Grandmother, since she had 9 brothers and sisters. I am presently researching my geneology, all of these names are a big help.

On my mom's side...Costanza, Capone, DelAversano...all from Elmer St. I'm a Nagy from Beatty St.

Maryann said...

Hi Saxman,

My grandmother's grandmother's mother's last name was Costanza. My grandmother's grandmother's name was Maddelena DeStefano. They all lived at 242 Elmer Street. Any relation?

Saxman said...

My grandmom lived at 216 Elmer...probably related in some way. My grandpop Constantino was one of the group that started the Feast of the Lights. How I miss them all...and the feast!!

Mack said...

Good Ole Elmer Street.
Orsini Travel on the corner.
Columbus Park nearby, Immaculate
Conception parking lot (night
whiffle ball), Trenton Joes:)

Hey Mack.......it was Columbus Park to you "youngsters" but it will always be The Deefee's to us older 'burgers! My mom told me it was the site of the old school for the deaf..thus the name "deefees"..

Ahh, now I remember some of those names from my THS days, but I went to Jr. #2 for grammar school.

Crea, or Tilger?

Nicolas Elephas said...

I recognize those names from Junior 4 or THS, but I think you meant "Santitoro" for one of those names.

You're missing a lot of names.

Also went to school and lived near Hubscher and Goldenbaum families (and plenty more that I can't remember), between a family relocation, living at two different houses in Trenton. Those should be familiar to you too.

Not meant to be a comprehensive list of every single family name in the Burg. Just a list of names used as a post:)
