Thanks Bronx.
On Paolo's INS Declaration of Intention it says he entered the country legally in 1935 at Rouses Point. He must of been coming in from Canada. We know from Valachi and also from Paolo's INS statement on his marriage that he was in the country earlier during the Castellammarese War. So he either left the country during or soon after the war and then came back or maybe he was deported and then came back legally? I'm not sure which it was, i only know it says he entered legally in 1935.
The file says Paolo Gambino was born Nov 20 1904 in the city of Palermo in the country of Italy. Under complexion it says "white" but under race it says "South Italian".
His last foreign residence was in Palermo.
He got married to his wife Catherine on Nov 9 1930 in the Bronx. (Catherine was Paolo's first cousin).
In 1935 at the time he applied for residence it says he had 2 children. It also says the family lived in the Bronx.
1935 photo of Paolo attached to his INS residence application.
