Alessandro Russo from Ginosa 1895-? barber in Brooklyn

[Neale1961]

Some other children of Nicola Russo and Rosa Galante:-

In 1914, Guiseppe Russo 20, and Nunzio Russo 24, both from Ginosa arrived in New York on ship “America”. They give their mother’s name - Rosa Galante.
They were going to their brother Vicenzo at Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JJQX-JWT?lang=en


Guiseppe Russo born 10 Feb 1893   
Nunzio Russo born 25 Mar 1889

I have solved the problem with James Russo    
“James” Russo was named Vincenzo Russo at birth.
Born 11 Oct 1887 in Ginosa
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:23P4-Y28?lang=en

His emigration was under his name Vincenzo Russo (age 18) on 27 July 1906 on ship ‘Lazio”. He was travelling to his brother-in-law, Vito Antonio in Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JF8W-9JM?lang=en

He married with the name Vincenzo Russo on 20 July 1911 in Brooklyn to Carmela Garone.

It looks like he also changed his surname from Russo to RUSSEL. See his WW1 military card.

By 1915 census, Kings New York, he is James Russel married to Carmela with 2 children.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K9RL-LRN?id=P94W-7DK&lang=en

I think James separated from his wife, Carmela, in about 1919.
In 1920 census and in 1925 census she is still in NY with 5 Russo children (Nicholas Russo b. 1912 , Anthony Russo b.1914, Rose Russo b.1916, Nunzio Russo b.1918, Joseph Russo b.1919),   
.... meanwhile James is in Pennsylvania USA with another wife, called Rosa Alario (but I don’t think they ever married), and children.
It looks like he had another marriage in Pennsylvania in 1942 when he was much older.

James died in Delaware in 1964

That's why I couldn't find him...

Ricky, please just use the REPLY button, not quote all the same information that I have written, read and posted. It is a rather large waste of space. 

[Ricky Mitico]

The arrival of Giuseppe and Nunzio in 1914 is very interesting, because I suppose now that: their mother, then widow since 1893, could join first Felicia and Vincenzo, and in 1914 be joined herself by other 2 sons.

[Neale1961]

I don’t think that Guiseppe and Nunzio stayed permanently in America.
I did see a military record for Nunzio who served overseas with American forces during World War 1, from 1918 to 1919.

I have a new question for you: another my grand-grandfather was in the U.S., too, for a short time.

His name was Vittorio Monzeglio, here is his record @ Ellis Island: https://heritage.statueofliberty.org/passenger-details/czoxMjoiMTAwNTY5MTAwMjg2Ijs=/czo4OiJtYW5pZmVzdCI7#passengerListAnchor

Maybe are you able to find him in any census? I know he was a vine grower/winemaker, so we suppose he was directed to California, but the address given on passenger list is of his friend Eugenio is NY. I have no data of the uncle Francesco, cause those archives are not digitalized, yet. Vittorio probably came back in 1914/1915, because he fought during WWI.

Ricky, I cannot open this link. It requires a subscription that I don't have.

Can you give me age, dates and place for Vittorio Monzeglio, and i will see if I can find anything.

[Ricky Mitico]

All I know about him is:

Vittorio Monzeglio, b. 1879, in 1913 was alredy married (second) with Firmina Mortarotti (she surely never was in the US), with at least 2 children. Lived in Vignale Monferrato (Alessandria, Northern Italy). Fought in WWI, after it never moved from Vignale, in 1921 had his last child Secondo Mario (my grandfather), died in 1937. I don't know how were named his parents.
