The first record of Antonio is a 1902 marriage record. He was married to Domiana Simeone on Feb 9, 1902 in Manhattan. His father is listed as Luigi Biele and his monther as Saveria Chr...to.. (writing not decipherable). The bride's parents are Francesco Simeone and Vittoran Capositol.

They are living at 318 E109th Street in Manhattan in a multifamily building of recent Italian immigrants. Anthony's occupation is a street sweeper.

I can not read the names of the children. They are all listed as daughters, all were born in New York and their ages are 7, 5, 4, 3, and 2. Dominana is listed as having had 6 children with 5 still living. The mother's age is 58 and she is listed as emigrating in 1899 as well.
