Antonino Militello /Grace Balogna Family Updates.

Hello Ladies Maryann and Laura,

This is just a summary of where we are in the research.

For our other cousins, this is Antonino Militello and Grace Balogna/Bologna family. You’ll find in documents his name was Tony, Anthony and Neno  Also I have seen Grace’s last name spelled 2 ways.

Okay in 1930 we know the Anthony and Grace lived at 2668 Charleviox Ave Detroit. He and Grace had the following children: Roselin age 16, Santo age 14, Leo age 12 Tony age 9, Salvator 5, Mary4,  Rosle age 2, Antonina. 3/2 (the census has that problems means 3 months?) Anthony is working at a fruit Peddler. 1930 Census Family Search.org

I found them in the 1940 census and they lived in the same spot and had the following children: Rosalie age 26, Leonard age 22, Tony age 19, Salvatore age 16, Mary age 14, Rosie age 12, Antoinette age 10, Josephine age 8, Jimmy age 5 and Joseph age 2. They still lived in the same house. It states Anthoy has his own fruit truck and  his son Leonard works at a tool crib in an auto factory. They still live the same location. 1940 Census Family Search.org

*Note: No need to print all this, make a user name and password on the site then add everything to your ‘Source Box’ that way it’s always there. Don’t make a family tree on there, use Legacy Software.

So, they had 10 children that lived. Now, onto the ones that didn’t make it

This is a death Certificate for Tony Militello born Feb 10, 1920 in St. Louis but died in Detroit. He only lived a month.

Here is another child they lost: Salvatore Militello, he died Sept 28^th 1922 in Detroit.

So far those are the only ones I have found. I sourced those from: Seeking Michigan

Also I did some digging on the Balogna/Bologna Family

I found Leonard and Lena in the 1930 St. Louis Census, He is widowed and his daughter Lena is living with him 1930 Census FamilySearch.org

On the same page I find the family in the 1920 Census 1920 Census Family Search.org

No Grace on the 1920 Census so she must have been married by then. I also can’t find the Balogna/Bologna Family in the 1910 Census. I’ll have to keep digging.
