Introducing James Michael Calderone

Hello all, I'm James Michael Calderone, one of Irene's helpers.  My first Reunion was the 2012 reunion in the tri villa area, Carrufo, Ofena, and Villa.

My Greatgrandfather was born in Villa SantaLucia.
His name was Nicandro. (known as Licantro) Calderone
BIRTH 14 MAR 1868  Villa Santa Lucia degli Abruzzi, L'Aquila, Abruzzo, Italy
DEATH 30 JAN 1951  Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA

Licantro got married in Civitaquana in 1892 to
Filomena Cetrano
BIRTH 18 JUL 1864  Civitaquana, Pescara, Abruzzo, Italy
DEATH 5 AUG 1948  Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA

Licantro emigrated to Boston in 1901 and the rest of the family followed in 1902.  The surviving children were Antonio (my grandfather), Anna, and Domenico.   Mary made the voyage from Italy but died the following year.

My family originated in San Nicandro where my Great great grandfather was born in 1841.  He never traveled to America.  He and his wife Rosaria Colantonio died in Villa in 1925 and 1926
