I am researching the families of brothers Frank (Francesco) and Dominick Miranda of Accadia, Italy. They immigrated to NYC in the 1890's and married sisters Isabella and Maria Teresa Lanza. Frank and Dominick Miranda were barbers in Queens and their families lived in the same house at 239 Pacific St. in Jamaica at the 1920 US Census. My son-in-law is descended from Antonio Lanza an uncle of Isabella and Maria Teresa and brother of their father Luigi (Nicholas?) Lanza. I am trying to locate any information about the death of Antonio Lanza. I would appreciate help from anyone familiar with these families.

Bob, thanks for the reply. I don't know how old Antonio was at death. He was born 21 Aug 1869 in Italy and was living in Accadia at the time he immigrated to NYC in 1899. Most of his children were born in West Virginia except his oldest who was born in Italy. But Antonio mysteriously disappeared sometime between 1910-1920 leaving his wife Anna and children in Seattle. His wife was living with another man in Seattle by the time of the 1920 census but the wife and children were always very careful about how they described Antonio's disappearence, as if to say he did not die but rather left the family. They all died without revealing the true story. The current generation is trying to solve the mystery. I am working on the theory that he returned to the NYC area where his brother Luigi (Louis) and family lived. I found several Antonio (or Anthony) Lanzas who died in NYC and based on their age at death they could be the right person. I am hoping to get some more difinitive info before ordering death certificates. I was hoping that some descendants of Frank and Dominick Miranda might have some useful information. They might also be interested to learn that they have many relatives in the Seattle area.
