An user called PaulBailey7 added Catherine Carriero and Antonio Mancuso on FamilySearch. He also added their photo and their daughter that recently passed away. He might be a descendant. You must contact him.

Daniel Carriero, Maria Antonia Telesco Carriero's grandson, passed away two days ago. His funeral will be Tuesday.

Thank you for all the updates!

The Sabia family lived on the same street as the Telesco family and I have memories of them as a child growing up and visiting my grandmother Grace (Vita) in Buffalo, NY. The Carriero family lived about 10 streets from the Telesco family. I have no memory of them but both Angelo and Maria died before my birth.

In reviewing Caterina’s Telesco’s timeline, it looks like both Maria (1874) Domenico (1883) were born in Italy and immigrated to America with Caterina in 1887. Susan (1888) and Margaret (1893) were born in America. Maria’s maiden name is Telesco, Susan’s maiden name is Angelella, and Margaret’s maiden name reverts back to Telesco. And in none of the documents found so far is the father named. Very strange. In an attempt to resolve this mystery I am going contact the City of Buffalo and request Caterina’s Death Certificate and both the Birth Certificates and Marriage Certificates for Maria and Susan. I am not sure how successful this will be, but it is worth a try.

I also sent a request to connect with “PaulBailey7” on FamilySearch.

Once again I must thank you all for the time and effort you have graciously put into this project!

About Margaret I've found this:

From collection "New York Department of Health; Albany, NY; NY State Death Index"

Nome: Margaret Gigante
Età: 60
Data di nascita: circa 1893
Data del decesso: 30 Jul 1953
Luogo del decesso: Buffalo, New York, USA (Stati Uniti)
Numero certificato: 43323

You should also request her death certificate.

Erica

Thank you. That is very helpful! Yes I meant to say I was going to request the documents for Susan and Margaret.

Earlier you posted that the Sabia family lived on 89 Lakeview. Well today I was going through some documents of my father, Anthony Rico, and I found one where he listed his address as 89 Lakeview. It was not dated but I assume that means that at some point my father was living in the house of my mother's aunt Susan. Perhaps when my father and mother were first married and did not yet have a place of their own.

Today I went to a Family Search Affiliate Library and was able to access the records from the Stato Civile (Tribunale), 1866-1910, Potenza > Avigliano > Nati 1883-1893. I found an Act of Birth that could possibly be the birth record of my grandfather Domenico Telesco/Telesca.

I am having trouble reading the document, so if someone could extract the names and dates, it would be greatly appreciated.

Records from Stato Civile (Tribunale) of Avigliano can be viewed from home with a normal FamilySearch.org account.
Records from Stato Civile (Archivio di Stato) of Avigliano can be viewed at antenati.san.beniculturali.it

This birth record doesn’t belong to your grandfather, but to a stillborn child.
Domenico Telesca was stillborn ("nato morto") on 21 Jan 1884, his parents were Vitantonio Telesca (aged 41) and Maria Ippolita Telesca. You must try to find his sister Maria Antonia Telesco's birth record, she was born around 1874.

Thank you. It is always sad to see a record for a stillborn birth.

Yes, I have been trying to locate the birth record for Maria Antonia Telesco but the book of birth records for 1874 seems to be missing. It should be in the records for Nati 1867-1883. But when I review the images, the books seem to skip from 1873 on image 890 to !877 on image 1078.

Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place?

Yes, you're right, Nati 1874 is missing.

Hello Everyone,

I finally received some of the documents I requested from the City of Buffalo for Domenico Telesca and his three sisters. Birth certificates for the two sisters born in the US could not be located. Marriage Certificates were found for Domenico and two of the sisters.

Two marriage certificate were found for Domenico and Vita. The strange thing is that the two marriages are 4 days apart and not all of the names are the same. The two documents both confirm that Domenico’s father is Canio. But Vita’s maiden name and mother’s name are different on the two documents.

The marriage certificates for the two sisters may or may not be the correct ones. The husbands’ names are as expected but the brides names and the parents’ names are not what I expected.

Here are the documents. Some of the names were hard to read. If you can decipher them or add any insights it would be appreciated.

Domenico's marriages are 14 days apart: one on December 15 and December 29.
I don’t really know why they got married two times

Hello,
in the first image it's literally written:

Date of Marriage: 29th December 1904
Groom: Domenico Telesca, aged 20, living in 61 7th Street, laborman, single, born in Italy,
son of Canio and Caterina Sabia
Bride: Vita Crescenzia Collangelo, aged 21, living in Buffalo, single, born in Italy, daughter of Nicholas and Domenica Maria Carluccio.

So Domenico's birth act could be this at n. 62:

Telesca Domenicantonio, born in Avigliano on 27th January 1884, son of Canio and Maria Margherita Sabia

Vita Crescenzia Colangelo's birth act is this at n. 456, already found by ciao457, no more doubt about it:
