Biography

Pietro Albano, age 37 (b. 1842), contadino, resident of Bracigliano, reports the birth on 25 January 1880 of a child in his home at Via Mario Pagano, #56, with Vittoria Albano, contadina, who is not his wife. The child is a boy and is named Carmine. Witnesses are Domenico Amato, 66 (b. 1813), and Luigi Zampino, age 28 (b. 1851), possidenti.^[1]

Carmine reports his birthdate is 17 January 1880 when he registers for the draft for WWI in 1918.

"Cardamom Albino" (Carmino Albano), age 22 (b. 1880), of 6 Union St. and Teresa Calabrese, age 25 (b. 1877), of 9 Union St. marry on 5 April 1902 in Springfield, Massachusetts. It is the first marriage for them both. They were both born in Italy. “Cardiman” is the son of "Peter Albino and Tollo. Albino." Teresa is the daughter of Louis Calabrese and Philomena Albino.^[2] According to Maria Teresa's 1877 civil birth record from Bracigliano, she is the daughter of Luigi Calabrese and Filomena Albano.^[3]

There are two birth records for sons named Peter, one in 1903 and one in 1904. No death record for the older child has been found. His age in the 1910 census is a match for the older child's record. The second birth record may be a duplication.
