    1. [CAAMADOR] the John Giusto puzzle
    2. carolynjnash
    3. John (Giovanni) Giusto was a long-time Amador resident, born in the 1830s in the Genoa area, who died in 1922 at the Masonic Home in Devoto, Alameda Co, where he had gone when he became blind and unable to care for himself. He had apparently been married and widowed twice, once to "Angelina" the mother of his daughter Lottie Giusto Caminetti (b. 1864) and the second time to Mrs. Augustina Marianni (m. 1868, she died 1869). His death cert said his father was James Giusto and his mother's name was Katy, both of Genoa. His obit in the Amador Dispatch said he was "survived by four nieces", but didn't name them, bless its miserable (adjectives deleted) little black heart. Of his contemporaries who had been in Amador county: Ambrogio Giusto (aka Ambrosio or Bruce) still had a son Jerome living at the time and five or six daughters, I think. Frank Giusto of Sacramento (with Amador connections) had a son John Alexander living at the time and a daughter Lucinda. My Giusto line (Clara Giusto Caminetti Campi and her sister Maria Battistina Caminetti) both had sons living -- Clara had son Antonio Caminetti, daughter Caroline Caminetti Kirschbaum and son Frank Campi; Maria had sons Antonio, D.B. and L.D. and daughter Carrie; and their brother Frank also had several sons and a couple of daughters, so this line appears to be out. Anybody have any ideas who John's nieces were?.
