Welcome to Gente. The surname Capobianco is more common in Italy than you thought - and so is Zavaro.
Perhaps this is Matteo's ship manifest?

Last Name: Capobianco

Last Place of Residence: Sturno
Date of Arrival: May 29, 1900
Age at Arrival: 21y Gender: M Marital Status: S
Ship of Travel: Patria (1882)
Port of Departure: Naples
Manifest Line Number: 0022
#6: Re: SURNAME Database -- Please read!! Author: edickins, Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2010 8:03 pm ---- I am researching surnames Capobianco and Zavaro. I don't know what region...all I know is the Capobianco family is listed in the 1910 U.S. Census with the father Matteo having been born in Italy abt 1880, and arrived in U.S. in 1900. The oldest 2 children with last name Zavaro who also were born in Italy in 1902 and 1904 so am guessing the mother was married to a Zavaro before Capobianco, but of course don't know for sure. I can't find on the internet where either name is a typical Italian name...? I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Ellen in U.S.

I can not link the manifest but he states he was born in Mesuraca on this one, and that he is leaving his wife, Giacinata and going to his cousin in West Virginia. Hopefully someone can link for you.
If worse come to worse, you could try writing to the Archives in Catanzaro for his military draft registration records. That should list his birth place if I am not mistaken. Here's where we need our Italian friends to help.
Your paternal grandfather was from Catanzaro? I am looking at his ship manifest as if I am reading it correctly, looks like it says he was born in Seminara (which is close to Soverato)
First Name: Domenico

P.S. I think the province might be Catansare--?? Not sure.
#14: Re: SURNAME Database -- Please read!! Author: Carole, Location: Valtellina - Near Lake ComoPosted: Tue Jul 21, 2009 4:21 pm ---- Good luck on your latest try MariLouise... do keep us updated.
Why not list the names you are researching as part of your 'signature' - that way anybody - even visitors can see and you never know (it HAS happened) someone might recognise one of your names. If you notice, we all do this, so why not you too..
(BTW I haven't forgotten that I still owe you an answer via e-mail!)
#15: Re: SURNAME Database -- Please read!! Author: MariLouise, Location: OhioPosted: Tue Jul 21, 2009 12:38 pm ---- My grandfather (my father's father), Domenico De Sole, was born in Santa Severina on July 7, 1889. He emigrated to the states in 1910. He was married to Assunta Giacinto (from Crotone) on February, 1913 in Mesoraca in the province of Catanzaro. I think my grandmother was an orphan. I believe he had one or two brothers and a sister. They had settled in West Virginia, then my grandfather moved to Youngstown, Ohio to work on the railroad. His siblings moved back to Italy (at least a brother, who died there). I had originally gotten a statement of No Record from Mesoraca regarding his birth certificate and am currently waiting to hear from Santa Severina.
