Not sure if there is a connection with our line but here is information on my great grand parents
John (Giovanni Tobelli) Tobey was born in Italy on June 24,1861 the son of Joseph
Tobilla and Mary (Penci) Tobey. John married Ersella (Orosola) Mastrogiacoma in
Italy. She was the daughter of Jacob Mastrogiacoma. John Came to the Unites States
from Italy on October 14,1889 from the port in Havre, France by the ship La
Bourgogne to New York, Ersella and there son Joseph came to the United states on
May 13,1890 from the port in Naples Italy on the Ship Letimbro to New York they
could speak Italian and some English but could not read English very well. John worked
in a grocery store as a labor. Ersella was a house wife. Both John and Ersella received
there citizenship in 1889 in Al. (This information was found on a 1920 census record
in Missouri) John and Ersella Tobey lived in Arkansas and Missouri both of them died
inthe state of Missouri.
John and Ersella are both interred at the Calvary Cemetery in Saint Louis Missouri (These are my great grandparents)
