John Scalzo 8/19/07
John, my grandfather was Antonio Scalzo, born in February of 1866 or 1868 in or near Catanzaro, Italy. He immigrated to the U S in 1890. Two of his sisters (Rose and either Frances or Mary) came over with him. His parents were Johanna and Angeline. Angeline bore 13 children but only the three lived beyond puberty. For your files, Antonio came through NYC and was sponsored by his Uncle Joe in SLC. I imagine that the uncle also sponsored the two women. Antonio finally settled in Central Idaho and was a ranch hand and stockman most of his life. He married my grandmother Frances Ann Holt in 1919 and they lived in Idaho and Washington. Antonio and Frances had four children: Ruth, Rosie, Joanne, and Antonio Jr. My grandfather died in Seattle in 1957.
I would like to hear from you in regards to any information you would be willing to share. Thanks, Wes Gannaway
