I hope this helps someone. I interviewed Tony Alessandro (Anthony Umberto Alessandro) in 2000 before he passed away. He was married to Millie Pellillo, who was the relative I was researching. Although he is not a relative, he told me important info about HIS family that may help someone. He was born 4/22/1913 in Italy. He came to America when he was 5, and said they went 28 days without seeing land. He was the youngest of 10 children. His whole family couldn't afford to come at once. He landed at Ellis Island. His parents were Salvatore & Maria Alessandro. He didn't know his mother's maiden name. He had 4 sisters and 5 brothers.
Tony and Millie Alessandro never had children. They lived in Cincinnati, OH.
