| Comments: | Liza:
I just finished writing my family history which I think might overlap with yours. My great grandparents, Giustino DiGiovanni and Francesca Salvatore lived in Catelferrato. Their daughter, Concetta, is my grandmother and she married Biagio Evangelista. Her sister, Anna, married Liberato Tacconnelli and their daughter, Giustinella, lives now in Torrevecchia Teatina. She would be my mother's cousin. I, too, would like access to those Latin records as I can read and write Latin. Could you send me the name of the priest who has these records? Thanks. Dolores |

| Comments: | My great grandfather (John Joseph) immigrated to US from Italy in 1901 along with his brother (Angelo) and mother (Josephine). All I know is what is in the 1900, 1910, 1920 US census, which shows his dad, Matt arrived here in 1897 and the rest of his family 4 years later. They settled in Hubbard, Oh. The census lists his name as Rock, but I'm sure this is an Americanized Italian name. It may have be LaRocca or La Rock? I'm just today began my research. I read your tips and they should help alot.

Reservations are appreciated but not mandatory. The price remains just $20 at the door for the best Italian meal and nicest people to be found this side of Italia. Buon appetito!
Siamo lieti di segnalarvi che la festa annuale “pranzo vallarolo” abbia luogo sabato 3 ottobre 2009 al Ristorante Italiano Di Paolo, a Penns Grove, Nuova Jersey. Tutti gli abruzzesi,vallaroli del cuore, ospiti ed i loro amici sono invitati. Biglietti solo 13 euro. Si mangia bene le pietanze autentiche italiane! The ties between Penns Grove and Valle San Giovanni remain strong more than 100 years after the first Italian emigres came to southern New Jersey in search of a better life. Extremely interesting is the connection between the statue of the Madonna located at the Saint James parish and the annual festival of the Madonna delle Grazie held July each year in Teramo, Abruzzo Italy. Nota bene: I legami fra Penns Grove in America e Valle San Giovanni in Italia rimangono strettissimi cent’anni dopo i primi vallaroli sono emigrati a Nuova Jersey da migliorare la loro vita quotidiana. Molto interessante il nesso fra la statua della Madonna nella chiesa San Giacomo a Penns Grove e la Festa della Madonna delle Grazie celebrata ogni anno a Teramo. |

| Comments: | My grandfather, John Citrigno, was born in Donnici, Calabria, in 1905, and passed away in Los Gatos, California Nov 1997. His older brother was Carmine, and middle brother, Eugenio, who's son, Rafaele Citrigno, early 80's, is the only Citrigno of our lineage living in Donnici, the family home town. I have recently learned that I have relatives in Canada, from the same area of Calabria, and I am trying to learn how we are related, and IF anyone knows the identities of our common ancestors. For example, I recently met my Citrigno cousins in Hamilton, Ontario, (Fern and Angela Citrigno), and Fern's father, Gennaro Citrigno, also from Donnici, was my grandfather's first or second cousin (his father I think was my great-grandfather's brother). There are Citrigno's in Ontario, Welland, St. Catherines, Port Colburn, who are all somehow related. Does anyone there in Canada know "how"? The Citrigno's in USA (Dayton, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, Panama City, FL, and Philadelphia area are also distant cousins. Their lineages track back to the villages of Mangone and Paterno Calabra, each only 1-3 miles from Donnici! But no one alive that I have spoken to knows "how" we are related, so anyone that knows or does geneology on the Citrigno family(s), please contact me. Phone: 408 978-1031, John Citrigno, San Jose, California. Also, see my Facebook profile. |

I also am a Soldati, my parents came from Bedonia,Parma. I still have relatives (cousins) from there, who I have visited a couple of times. I too have no idea where my fathers family came from before Bedonia Parma, and no one else seems to know. All I know is that my fathers father worked for the court system, and my father beleived his father did also. Thats all I can gather |

| Name: | Joanne Ferrato |
| E-mail address: | joanneferrato@yahoo.ca |
| Comments: | Hi, I am married to the Ferrato Family. Originally the Ferratos that I know of came from Costenza Italy , province of Calabria. Mr. Domenic Salvatore landed in Canada around the 1930-40"s and settled fianally retiring in Thorold, and passed away in 1991, at the age of 91 years old. His son, Agostino Ferrato came to Canada and married his wife, Maria Trecroce in 1953. Mr Agostino Ferrato is recently deceased (July 29, 2005). They have 3 sons, Sam ( Domenic Salvatore), my husband, Anthony, and Angelo and a daughter named Marisa. Sam lives in Thorold, Anthony lives in Burlington, Angelo lives in St. Catharines, and Marisa lives in Oakville. Just to mention, that Agostino has left behind his older sister, Catherina, who also resides in Thorold, and was married to a Peter Citrigno (now deceased) Catherina is 84 years old.
I'm not sure if this helps, but it is a lineage to the Ferrato Family. It is also know that there are distant relatives of the same name living in USA, Seattle and in Philadelphia. There is also a Lorenzo Ferrato living in London, Ontario, of whom we're not sure where of which family he is from Hope this help in your quest. Thank you for reading., Joanne G. Ferrato |

| Comments: | Glad to find your website. I will pass it on and visit again soon.The Abruzzo part (1/2) of our ancestry is the only one we have not found relatives yet.
My paternal grandparents, Emilio (or Emidio) and Addorata, came from Civitella del Tronto, though grandma's manifest says she and my uncle were born in Corropoli. Her maiden name was Capriotti. The surname was Ferri and our cousins in Rochester NY still use that but somewhere along the line grandpa changed it to Ferro. His draft registration card says his last residence was Ponzano Eterno, but the last part might have been misunderstood as Teramo...maybe Aterno the river. The other family name is Bianchi from Corfinio. Might have been Bianco, not sure yet. Many thanks. Wish I could get to Italy and meet cousins. I feel as you do: must connect with our family. Dave |

She abandoned him in Futani, Provincia Salerno. It is said she then went to America. We don't know what ever happened to her or what town in Calabria she was from. If there is someone who can help me with further information it would be so appreciated. Thank you. |
