Re: Jose Manuel Casanova's 1884-1949 lineage from Pinar del Rio, Cuba

delapaz21 — 2012-05-06 21:38:07Z

Hello, I have a very good feeling we have a common relative!

My grandfather's name was Jose Manuel Figueroa Divino born in 1920 in Havana, Cuba. He took his mother's last name at birth since his father was unknown.
His mother was Maria Rosa Figueroa Divino born in 1890 in Havana, Cuba.
Maria's mother was Pilar Divino y Casanova born in Bahia Honda on 9/25/1867 and died in Havana in 1953. (She was my great great grandmother).

I have a very strong feeling that your grandfather (Jose Manuel Casanova Divino) and my great great grandmother Pilar were related since both were born in Bahia Honda.

When my grandfather was alive, there were rumors that the Divino Casanova was a very well off family and disapproved of Pilar marrying my great great grandfather Jose Figueroa Feliu (born in Havana) and apparently Pilar and her husband went to Habana and were estranged from Pilar's family ever since.

Given the common names and last names, I am almost certain we have a link somewhere! I look forward to hearing from you.

His father Jose Manuel Casanova Divino'also cuba 1884-1949 (my grandfather)
His mother Rosa Soto Bermudez (was 22 years younger than husband) 1904-1975
My great grandfather Pedro Pablo Casanova was said to come from Pinar del Rio, had a sister named Catalina, and he had three kids, my grandfather being the oldest. about 1850-1895
All born in Cuba...
would like to know more information that can be provided on Pedro Pablo and his parents and other siblings or any documents on this family lineage. My grandfather mentioned above was born in Bahia Honda, Cuba in 1884 became a self made man, leader in the sugar mill industry, senator in Cuba and one of the writers and signers of the Cuban important docs in 1940. He also died before I was born, on dec 22, 1949 at 65 of a heart attack. Don't know anything of his parents and any brothers or sisters he may have had, would like to know more information on relatives. His family moved to La Habana from Pinal del rio around 1900.
His mom Rosa, I think had spaniard born parents. not sure.
Would like to know link to Spain, and ancestry info.

Help! I am looking for my grandmothers family. Her name is Dominico, or Minnie" and she came from Calabria and to the US around 1908 with her sister Giovanna or Jennie. They settled in Niagra or the Buffalo area of NY, so I am guessing there were relatives living there already. Dominica married Dominco, or Dominic(k) Connaccio (the Ellis Island spelling) or Corraccio, or Carrocci and Giovanna married Dominic Mercurio. They all moved to Rome, NY to start and raise a famil. In the early 1930's they all moved to San Jose, California. If you have any information, it is greatly appreciated. Please email me at elainehathaway94@hotmail.com

I was adopted back in 1961 my birth name was Baby Casanova I was Conceived in Sam Francisco and from what I was told my fathers name was Jose . Are you related to a Micheal Casanova ?

Re: Casanova Family

dthaeler — 2011-10-02 16:58:52Z

Is your grandmother still living? Does she recognize anyone on my listing?

My "best guess" is that the Casanova's in the list were in Bluefields, Nicaragua, during the mid-1920's. I would not be surprised if they were all Moravians (a small "main-line" protestant denomination), since my grandparents were serving as missionaries for that denomination at that time.

Is there by any chance you can send them to me somehow?? How far back have you looked into the ancestry of our heritage??

Re: Casanova Family San Anotnio, Texas

Imatreenut — 2011-09-26 00:42:54Z

Good news!
so do you know if your Uncle Roy has any pictures? I have dates and pictures of head stones. Do you know that we ate related to Eradtus Deaf Smith? We are related through your grandfather Raul's mother's side. She was a Tarin.
I have a picture of your great grandparents too. Raul's parents .

sarinac93 — 2011-09-25 21:23:43Z

Oh yes, I dont think I'm Italian. But that would be pretty neat though;Since Italian food is one of my favorites. Lol! Best of luck to you on your ancestry search.

Re: Casanova Family San Anotnio, Texas

Ah, yes I remember you :) I remember meeting you and Al. You were saying something about a Casanova Family Reunion. I'm 18 now and I'm really curious on finding out where the casanova bloodline has spreaded to. Since I dont know much about them. And as for my uncle Roy he lives here in San Antonio, TX.

Re: Casanova Family San Anotnio, Texas

josephcasanova81 — 2011-09-24 09:27:07Z

My family was from Italy so I don't think that we are related it would be cool if we were though I want more Casanova names :)

Re: Casanova Family San Anotnio, Texas

Imatreenut — 2011-09-24 00:16:12Z

Yes we are related. My grandmother was Herlinda Casanova Cadena, Raul's oldest sister. I meet your dad a few years back when i was visiting my cousin Al Mendoza, also a cousin of yours. Your dad Larry told us your uncle in Florida has most of the genealogy info. I was never able to make contact with him.
What info are you looking for? I have some information and will share anything I have. There's always a genealogist in each generation you just have to them!
Looking forward to hearing from you cousin! Lorretta Cadena Creelman :)

Re: Casanova Family San Anotnio, Texas

Re: Casanova Family San Anotnio, Texas

Imatreenut — 2011-09-22 22:24:11Z

No they were from the Canary Islands. They were originally the Peres family ( two brothers) then changed name to Casanova after arriving in Texas. Casanova meaning new home.

Re: Casanova Family

josephcasanova81 — 2011-09-22 14:57:42Z

Do you have any family history from Italy? The Casanova's traveled by boat so they could have ended up anywhere.

josephcasanova81 — 2011-09-22 14:19:51Z

Were your ancestors ever from Italy? I love genealogy and I do not have that much

CASANOVA Louise Towt 1933-2010

Lace_Lynch — 2011-06-20 17:20:09Z

Louise T. Casanova 77, died peacefully in her home on Friday, December 3, 2010.

Louise was born in Zanesville, Ohio on November 5, 1933.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Elbert S. and Helen A. Towt; sisters, Barbara Williams and Helen Towt. She is survived by Richard, her husband of 54 years; children, Richard, Jon, Sara of Tucson, Daniel Wolf of Chugiak, Alaska; grandchildren, Ian of Tucson and Nicholas of Waco, Texas; nephew, Thomas Nottingham Williams III of Potomac, Maryland.
Louise was a 49 year resident of Tucson, Arizona during which time she touched the lives of many people both professionally and as a community issues advocate.
She was the first Pima County Emergency Medical Services Coordinator and ushered in the Emergency Medical Technician and Paramedic Programs and played a role in the early development of the Tucson Hospital Trauma System.
She also helped to upgrade rural fire department capabilities through the acquisition of federal and state grants for training and equipment.
Louise was active in local party politics and was involved in various election initiatives and campaigns of several local officials from 1962 until her retirement in 1987.
As a strong education supporter, she served as President of Rogers School PTA, President of The Tucson PTA, Montezuma Council and was a life member of the Arizona PTA.
She was a tireless advocate for the developmentally disabled and was a five year member of the Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities.
A staunch supporter of local law enforcement, she was always available to fight for the retention of their programs and services.
One of her most notable accomplishments in this area was her success in securing the support of the Tucson City Council for the retention of the School Resource Officer Program after the initial pilot program was ending and funding became an issue. She also helped improve Emergency Preparedness statewide and was a past President of the Arizona Emergency Service Association.
The list of her accomplishments might fill a novel, but in short, Louise was a dynamic mover and shaker of her time who cared about her community and the well being of its people and did something to make it better and safer. Private Funeral Services are pending.
Remembrances may be made to Carondelet Hospice and Palliative Care.
Arrangements handled by ADAIR FUNERAL HOMES, Dodge Chapel.

Re: Digital Image of Casanova Family Coat of Arms

debbie1140 — 2011-03-25 08:14:49Z

Your ancestor's surname was Stamatellos. My ggg-grandfather's first name was Stamatellos (Stamatios), last name Casanova.
It's not the same family I'm afraid.
How is your Greek?
If you would like, I can invite you to my facebook group. I put it together for more serious Greek genealogists and the reason I'm inviting you is because I've got lists there of tons of digitized books on Chios that you may be interested in.
I've also got the website link to Chios digitized archives.

http://srv-gak.att.sch.gr/browse/collection.html

If you're interested in my facebook group, search for "Serious Greek Genealogists Only" It's a lame title I admit :)

Re: Digital Image of Casanova Family Coat of Arms

andrianachron — 2011-03-16 12:01:32Z

Hi my grandmother was a Stamatellos and was from Chios. I would be interested in what names were in your family tree with this surname around the late 1890 and early 1900's to see if there is an overlap.

My Grandfather is Timoteo M. Casanova. Look under Timoteo Casanova + bexar or cameron county. Then scroll down to Cayento Guerro then click and you will find about 8 generations of family the Casanova's start about the 7 generation.

Re: casanova family history (San Antonio, Tx)

freddiecasanova — 2010-03-15 18:00:45Z

The original bloodline of Casanova that setteled in San Antonio/Elmendorf are Spanish from the Canary Islands. Casanova's were among the first group to settle in Bexar. Half of my blood line is from this group while my other is native German (Bavarian). I identify myself as a cauacasian of European descent......Hispanic is not a race, but a loose based general ethinicity term.

hope this helps,

Frederick Casanova, M.S.

Last time I saw you, you were in diapers. I can still remember the house, and the walnut tree in the back yard. It seems that we share the same father, Reno Peter Casanova, born in Chicago, Illinois. Reno's parents were Pietro (Peter) and Josephine Casanova. Yes, they did migrate to the United States from Italy, and ended up in Venice, California. Reno was not a well man - he died many years ago.

My other brothers are: Raymond, William (Bill), and Richard. Bill also died several years ago.
