Personal Details
- Angelo Cammarata

  - Birth Notes
    - may be: 1872-1945 or 1870-1846
      
      His brother ran a farm.
      
      At a reunion, Bill presented his family tree on a big wall for everyone to come and look at. Mary? (Mary Francis?) fell really ill, fell down, she has to be carried away and taken care of. The reason turned out to be that she saw her son's illigitamate child on the tree, which she had gone through great trouble to cover up and hide.
      
      Angelo was a stone cutter in Italy. Comes from a town by Mount Cammarata, which Bob said was very old and behind the times, came to America from Villa Rosa. Bob said he was a very mean person, his first wife left him for a boarder that was staying with them. He abandoned his kids on a train and the conductor had to take them home. He later put them (Michael, Joseph, & Mary Grace) in an orphanage. Later, the children ran businesses and Angelo would come in and take an interest in the business, which would then flounder. They once ran a street vending booth, which Angelo took part in and it went under. They ran a bowling ally also. Later they ran a movie theater. Mary Grace sold tickets and made pop-corn, Joseph ran the business and was an usher. Michael ran the projector. Angelo saw they were making money and came in to get a piece of it and it went under.
      
      He was hit by a street car in downtown Pittsburg and died.
  He died at the age of 76 in 1946.
  Rosalie DeGunieno
  Rosalie was born in 1883 in Villa Rosa, Sicily. She died at the age of 80 in 1963.
  - Death Notes
    - There apparently was an extensive family because my mom corresponded with Grandma's sister after Grandma died and she was living in Palermo and said that there were a bunch of family members there so I guess that Grandma's parents had lots of siblings.

Children
- Helen Cammarata
  Helen was born in 1913 in Bloomfield, PA.
  - Birth Notes
    
    She was born in Pittsburgh,,,maybe it was called Bloomfield,Pa. I know my mom wanted to go somewhere over seas one time for a hair show or class for beautician school ( My mom was a beautician) and needed a passport,but could never get a passport because she never got a birth certificate. She always told us the hospital and the courthouse burnt down.......but I don't know if that was true,,,because when she died I was told by my Uncle Sammy, that she was always 8 yrs older than she said she was. I thought she was 48 when she died,,at the funeral or maybe the days after,my Uncle Sammy said she was a little older than 48...as he was 10 yrs younger and he was 46 when my mom died. I think now she was really 56, but I am not sure.Somewhere, I saw that perhaps she was born in 1913. She did not know the day she was born. My Grandma O'Brien was born on April 23rd...so when my mom married my dad, she told him her birthday was April 23rd too.....but I do not think thats her real birthday, only mom thought she was born in April as a child.
  She died at the age of 58 in 1971.
  Willie Cammarata
  Willie was born in 1921. He died at the age of 41 on December 23rd, 1962.
