Andreas is listed on his Ellis Island paperwork as having the profession of mason. He had several children, some reports are up to thirteen. At least one of his children, a daughter, stayed in Sicily with her husband. They lived next to the church. Her brother, Giacomo, bought the house and deeded it to the nuns at the church at the time of his sister's death provided the nuns would care for his sister in her old age.
Andrea, his wife, his daughter Sebastiana, and possibly his son Giacomo were living in Pittsburgh at the time of his death because his son, Domenico, was living there. Domenico helped his parents and at least his brother Giacomo come to America and find early employment.
There are several Tramontes scattered across the US that are likely descended from Andreas and his wife, Antonina. They live in Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and a few in California (although these I think are offshoots of the aforementioned families). There is weaker evidence for relationships to the Tramontes that stayed in New England although he is probably at least a cousin or uncle to those families.
Most of the Tramontes descended from Andreas and Antonina ended up in one of three industries 1. Alcohol 2. Food and Beverage 3. Real Estate and Construction. A few of his children ended up in a combination of those businesses.
After Andrea's death his wife Antonina and their youngest child in America, daughter Sebastiana (Annie), moved to Akron to live with Andrea's still bachelor son, Giacomo who was starting a grocery store/saloon. Another Tramonte, listed in the census as "Jasper" also lived with them for a time. I'm sure like "Andrew" (actually Andreas) "Jasper" was an Americanized form of his real name. I suspect "Jasper" is also the "Jake" Tramonte referred to in some other records.
According to the death certificate, Andreas died of cystitis (usually a bladder infection but theoretically this could refer to gall bladder disease as well). Probably, because of lack of antibiotics, this infection went systemic, he became septic, and died. An alternative explanation for the death would be that he, like many men of his age, had prostate cancer (which could cause bloody urine just like cystitis).
Again, according to the death certificate "Andrew Tramont" was buried on September 12, 1907 in St. Mary's cemetery. I tried to attach a photo of the original document but my computer Refused to upload the photo from the Pennsylvania Historical Society Archives.
