Giovanni Capaldi born 1886

[DianaFulkes]

Hi All,
This is my first time on here so please forgive me if I do anything wrong.
I am researching the Capaldi line for my brother in law Anthony Capaldi who comes from Glasgow.
His grandfather Giovanni Capaldi was born in Picinisco he and his brother Filippo left home and went to California to dig for oil in america where his grandfather lost his leg in an accident and went to uk to seek his fortune...fillipo stayed there and became very successful...chicago i think is where his family are...and I believe there is plenty of them ...they have get togethers every year, so he has been told.
Giovanne's parents were Sabatino Capaldi and Nicolina Faccenda.
I would like to find out their birth dates and when they left Picinisco for USA. I have looked on the Ellis Island site but the ages dont match up. I know Giovanni was 27 in 1913 as he married Agnes Dougan in Scotlaand ( he used the name John after the wedding) They had a confectiony business and a Icecream business in Glasgow, he died some time during WW11 as an internie on the Isle of Man ( I cannot find a date) I know it was before any of Tony's siblings were born in the mid40s.
Can anyone enlighten me on any of the above please
Regards
Di
