Hi my name is Denise Scheps and I am searching for my birth father who i haven't seen since I was 3 months old. His name is Michael Cali. I am daughter of Marilyn Bruno and she has passed on in 2005. I was originally from the Bronx and am age 46. I am not sure exactly how old he would be now, but my guess is around 70. I have thought of him my whole life and would really love to know him. I was told that he had 2 children before me but I don't know there mothers name. I was told that my grandfather was blind. If you have any information or think this might be the same family, please contact me through my e-mail: schepsd@yahoo.com

kelbell715 — 2010-07-08 20:56:38Z

My Frank Cali was alive in 1942, as I saw from World War registration cards, so it must not be the same. I am not quite sure what part of Italy my family is from. I am glad you found out info. about your family.

Re: Francesco (Frank) Cali from Sicily

mvahldieck — 2010-07-07 22:06:58Z

Yes, our Frank Cali was killed during the World War I fight as a soldier, I believe. He was the brother of my grandfather, Andrew Cali. They were from Casteldaccia, Sicily, which is a small town about 15 miles from Palermo in Sicily. Do you have any idea of where they were from in Sicily? I have been there since my post and perhaps I could help you in your search.

Joseph John Cali 1928-2007 . Amsterdam N.Y. to Ohio

Lace_Lynch — 2010-02-15 02:37:36Z

Joseph John Cali, head librarian of Antioch College, died Feb. 13, 2007 at his home near Yellow Springs, Ohio at the age of 78.

His last day was spent keeping the library open during a winter storm that closed the rest of the campus. This was typical of his dedication and his conviction of the library’s essential role in student learning.

In his 53 years at the Olive Kettering Library, Joe earned the affection of generations of Antioch students, staff, and faculty. His sense of humor was often expressed in phrases that became legendary on campus. His gruff exterior was always tempered by the twinkle in his eye, and his kindness and concern for the people around him were never in doubt. He will be profoundly missed.

Born on Oct. 17, 1928, Joe spent his early years in Amsterdam, New York. He received his undergraduate degree in science and German from Union College in Schenectady, N.Y., in 1950. In 1952 he received his master of library science degree from Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

Joe began his career at Antioch College as periodicals and music librarian in 1952. Shortly afterwards, he was drafted and served in the U.S. Army for two years in Germany, attaining the rank of Sergeant. After discharge from the Army in 1954, he returned to his position at Antioch.

Joe’s career spanned more than half a century from printed word to the electronic revolution in libraries. He became director of the Olive Kettering Library in 1983 and oversaw many changes, including the conversion of the library’s card catalog to an online catalog in 1998. At the same time, he was steadfast in preserving traditional values in research and librarianship. The extraordinary depth of the library’s collection of periodicals and other serials is a testimony to Joe’s meticulous attention to research needs. Over the years, many Antioch graduates went on to careers as librarians, inspired by Joe’s own commitment to the profession and his support of scholarly and intellectual endeavors.

Joe’s dedication to the Olive Kettering Library was matched by his passion for classical music. His master’s thesis was “A Bibliography of Biographies of Musicians,” which allowed him to combine his love of music with library science. The depth and breadth of his knowledge of recorded music was one of the strengths that he brought to his work in the library. On a playful note, he always saw to it that the library observed the birthdays of Beethoven and of Joe’s particular hero, the conductor, Arturo Toscanini.

Another of Joe’s enthusiasms was sports. He was a talented athlete, especially on the basketball court. He could be found on occasion in the campus gymnasium, impressing opponents with the accuracy of his half-court shots.

Arrangements are being made for a private family service in Joe’s hometown of Amsterdam, N.Y. The college is planning a memorial service in Yellow Springs at a later date.

Re: Francesco (Frank) Cali from Sicily

ACalli1065_1 — 2004-10-05 20:10:35Z

I read your message, and my great grandfather Francesco Cali was from Sicily. I'm not sure if there is a connection, but my family always talked about a picture of my great grandfather in his military uniform. He was born July 7, 1886, married October 24, 1907 to Bernardina Cardella. They came to the US around 1907.

Re: Francesco (Frank) Cali from Sicily

mvahldieck — 2004-08-26 02:33:51Z

Anna,
Here is a coincidence - my grandfather also came to the US in 1907 and settled in Illinois. Where did your grandfather live? I have 3 pictures of Frank in his uniform - I could send you one - would your recognize him? This Cali family was from Casteldaccia in Sicily which is about 15 miles from Palermo. Do you think we have a connection? You can write to me at my regular email address at mvahldi334@aol.com
Thanks!

Francesco (Frank) Cali from Sicily

mvahldi3341 — 2004-07-05 20:08:44Z

I have 2 photos of Frank Cali who was from Castledaccia, Italy in Sicily from when he was apparently a member of the army in Italy. He was the brother of my grandfather, Andrea (Andrew) Cali who was born in 1882 so I assume he would be somewhere close in age. I am not sure whether or not he stayed in the United States, but my grandfather came to the US to stay in 1907 and lived in Streator, IL. Anyone think they might have a connection, please write me at mvahldi334@aol.com. Thank you!

I am searching for information on Rosina Cali, came to US in Oct. 1912. Her parents were Salvatore an Guiseppa Cali...ship manifest says from S. Agata, Messina. I believe she was 21 years old when she came to US. She traveled with Calogero and Rosa Cali. I have also seen several posts regarding a Frank Cali. I was researching a Rose Cali, who died in 1939 in Biloxi Miss. She was married to a Frank Cali who would have been born about 1858. I have more info on this if interested. Anyone knowing anything about Rosina Cali, please contact me..Thanks

Cali: Villafrati to Hammond/New Orleans LA

2003-11-05 04:50:06Z

Rosario Cali and Francesca Bongiovanni arrived in the US after 1896. He was from Villafrati and she was from Palermo.

Rosario Cali's parents were Guiseppe Cali and Maddalena Graziano. I believe they both lived the latter part of their lives in the Hammond area. Also, both had relatives in the area as well.

I know that there are a lot of distant cousins in the Hammond area. Would like to hear from you.

Cali's or Canale's from Italy

mvahldieck — 2003-07-28 18:49:03Z

I have a picture of Frank Cali who I believe was my grandfathers brother. My grandfather, Andrea (Andrew) Cali came to the US from Castledaccia, Italy in 1907 and finally settled in Streator,IL. I believe he had a few brothers that may have come to the US also - one being Frank and I think there may be a few more who may have ended up in Chicago, New York or possibly California. My grandfather went to Chicago quite a bit, to New York and back to Italy a few times. He married Antonina Canale in Italy before they moved here. She also had several brothers who moved to the US. Anyone have any connections?

2002-10-02 01:34:17Z

Hi! I am looking for a "long lost" relative buried in the Rinella family plot. He is related to one of the main families: Rinella, Sansone, or Palmisano. The Rinellas have always lived in Chicago and I think some of the Palmisanos came from the Kansas City or St. Louis Mo. area originally. He may be named after two Leo Rinellas. If you have any info. please post a reply or contact me directly at strytek@hotmail.com.

Re: Cali and Canale families of Casteldaccia, Italy

MLeshinske — 2002-05-26 21:05:54Z

I read your message. My family came from Casteldaccia, Palermo as well. They, too, settled in Streator, IL. I can tell you that I found your ancestors on the Ellis Island search while doing my search. I can also tell you that the Canale's are cousins of my family. The Canale's came often came to my great grandfather's house when they came from Italy. The surnames of my family from Casteldaccia are Tomasello and di Giacinto. Please email me so we can see if we have any information that can help one another.

Take care-

Cali and Canale families of Casteldaccia, Italy

mvahldi3341 — 2002-02-16 15:02:29Z

I am searching for information about my grandparents families. They were Andrew (Andreas) and Antonina (Anna) Cali who immigrated to the US in the early 1900's - we think around 1907. They were from Castledaccia, Italy. Anna's maiden name was Canale - she had a sister Sonda and two brothers Lawerence and Micheal. Andrew supposedly has a brother Frank who came to the US and I have a picture of him, but we have no idea of what happened to him. Anna and Andrew eventually settled in Streator, IL. Any information would be appreciated!

Re: relatives

2001-07-28 23:34:09Z

I am Cosmo's son and your 2nd cousin. Your grandfather was my uncle and he had a brother Joseph who remained in Palermo,Italy when the family immagrated to Roch. Your grandfather had two other brothers(John and Tony) who were also upholsterers. He also had three sisters (Amelia, Ida, and Mary);making a grand total of eight. Unfortunately they are all deceased now. My dad and uncle Tony both moved to Ca. I am slightly younger (one year I think) than your dad. If you want more information on the Cali family don't hesitate to ask. I know quite a bit about our history. I don't think Glenn is related.

2000-10-14 12:12:14Z

Funny you should mention that your father was an upholsterer. My grandfather was an upholsterer also. His name was Thomas Cali. He had several brothers, one of which his name was Cosmo Cali, i believe he moved to California. I thought he had a brother by the name of Joseph also but I can't be sure. Again he had other children, but I am unsure of their names. My grandfather married Frances Ugliaoro Cali. He had two sons, Rudy (my father) and John, and four sisters, Anna, Mary, Jenny and Dorothy. Talk about large families. Did your father have a brother by the name of Thomas? If so, I would love to hear more from you. If not I am sure our families tie together somehow.
