Joseph Abosso
Joseph Abosso never legally changed his name from Giuseppe Abossida. He arrived in the US through Ellis Island in 1914. He was 22 years old. In 1919 he marries the girl next door, Josephine Capalbo. On September 22, 1926, while 30 years old Joseph became a naturalized citizen of the United States. By 1930 the couple had 4 of their 6 children. They lived on Church Street, Bradford, RI which was rural and a great place to raise their children. Many of the grandchildren of Joseph and Josephine can remember the large gardens and exploring the neighborhood between the two-family homes made of the Abosso/Capalbo connection. Many of us recall picking strawberries in the summer! Perhaps bring half a basketful in and our faces and hands showing where the rest went. Only mild rebukes, and sometimes laughter were we met with. It was a loving and long legacy to grow up in this family. It wasn't perfect but it was ours.

I am looking to reconnect with my past and link up to my present by seeing who I am related to and how those branches grew from my grandfather Guiseppe Abossida. He Naturalized in Sepetember 22, 1926 at the age of 30, but he never legally changed his name to ABOSSO! There simply is no record of it. But today you can find a rich heritage of family by that name. So...why did that happen, who knows the story, and are there any ties left in Calabria, Italy?

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
