Joseph D'Ascenzo, husband of Edith Ventresco D'Ascenzo had only one brother. His name is not Basilo, but Joseph was born in Villa St. Angelo. they may be cousins.

Joseph D'Ascenzo

My 92 year old father is Joseph(Guiseppe) D'Ascenzo. My assumption is that because he was the oldest child of his father -Domonic- his grandfather was Joseph D'Ascenzo. Domonic came to America I believe in 1908 to Ellis Island. Domonic and Maria had 5 children - Joseph, Matthew, Louis, Sarafina and Louise. Joseph, Matthew and Sarafina are still living, Joseph 92 in March, 2001, Matthew 91 in February, 2001 and Sarafina 88(I think) in Feb. 2001. As a young child I visited some cousins in Pittsburg - (I'm pretty sure Pittsburg - somewhere in PA) We brought my Grandfather Domonic to visit cousins. I think they were my grandfather's first cousins.
