Comments:I am friends with twins, Vito and Clementina Meo (birthnames), who were born in Castelguidone in Chieti, Abruzzo on April 28, 1958. They lived in an orphanage there for the first 3 years of their life. They were adopted by an American family and brought to U.S. in 1961. They are 50 years old this year, and have never been able to establish any information about their birth or first three years in Italy.
If anyone has any information that I could give them about an orphanage there or the name of Meo, or a woman by that name who may have given twins, a boy and a girl, up for adoption, would you please, please, contact me? Thanks! and my God Bless You!

Comments: Some relatives I am related too. Dave and Linda Ariganello my parents. Grandpa was Vincent Bruno Ariganello His father was Joseph Bruno Ariganello who came over in 1915 ish. I have relatives in Toronto most of them are my grandpa's cousins. My great grandpa Joseph had a brother name Bruno who moved to Toronto in the early 1900's. Bruno's kids are my grandfathers cousin's.
When I took a trip over to the Italian Navy they said they never heard of my last name and it was very uncommon. When I told them it was from Sera San Bruno they said not to many people go there and the city is a very family oreinted place run by the Ndrangheta. Not sure if this is true since I have never been there.
We are a very small family with only a few hundred in the US with that last name. Most of us can be found in the Detroit or Toronto area. If there is any from other areas they usally have moved from these locations. If you are related email me and we can chat. I am moving to NY in 3 weeks around the Brooklyn Queens area

Comments:My daughter is graduating from college this May and heading for Italy. I also went after my own graduation many years ago, carrying a wedding invitation in Italian with the name of a family and town to look for. I couldn't even find the name of the town on any maps and, traveling with little money, gave up. Now the old folks are all gone but we are hoping to find some distant relatives on my grandmother's side-Sprovieri-(no one seemed to keep up much with my grandfather's relatives- Catalano). My first online searching led me to stumble on to a short series of postings from a relative in Australia whom I haven't seen in 35 years. So I feel that we'll be lucky in our search.

I am searching (having a very difficult time) for my father, Cologero Lianza who arrived in New York from Italy, supposedly on March 17, 1906. I recall him saying the immigration or the US Army put the "i" in his name. I have searched both and been unsuccessful.\

Now I am going to your site. Most of the sites (Ancestry.com for example) are expensive and I cannot afford to pay them.

Comments:For the person looking for Bozzelli's; there seem to be quite a few in the US and in the suburbs of Toronto, Canada, in a town called Mississauga. I am in the Chicago area.

My grandfather's name was James Frank Bozzelli (Domenic Francis Bozzelli I think was his real name), was from St. Louis, and was born around 1911. I believe that he was from Calabria and came into the US from South America and not Ellis Island. He did have siblings, although I am not sure exactly who they were.

He was married to Georgia Opal (Denusopoulos(sp?)) and they had 3 children: James Jr. (my dad), Sandra, and Cynthia. James Jr. had 4 children: Jodi Ann Bozzelli, Joy Lynn Bozzelli, Janis Audrey Bozzelli, and Jeff James Bozzelli. Sandra married Daniel Bator and they had 4 children: Steven, Laura, Jennifer, and Daniel Jr. Cynthia has been married several times but never had any children. Jeff Bozzelli has two sons: Jason and Justin. Jason has a daughter: Brianna.

Hope this helps.

Comments:Looking for info on the following people:

Agnese Avello (b. 1843) married Nicholas Guadagni. I believe they were from Florence. Nicholas was magistrate to the king but lost all his money gambling. I know of 2 daughters one was Judith. Judith went to work in a high fashion store in Naples as a millner to help support the family.

Judith came to Brooklyn in 1906. The ship's log states Agnese came at the same time but we think this might have been the sister posing as Agnese b/c 2 women wouldn't have been allowed to travel alone.

Judith (b.1874) married Anthony DiMaio (b. July 2, 1886) who was from Naples and supposedly on the same ship. Anthony’s parents were Alphonse DiMaio and Antoinette Ruzzo. Anthony was a barber in the Waldorf Astoria in NY and then a real estate agent.

Judith's sister married and had a daughter named Tess who married a Valenti and they had a daughter named Henrietta who married and divorced Joe Torre's son.

Venditto children:

Tommaso Di Domenico Venditto was born 9/16/1864 in Marcone, Italy
Domenicantonio Venditto was born 9/13/1869 in Marcone, Italy.
Filomena Venditto was born 4/24/1855 in Marcone, Italy
Pasquale Venditto was born 4/1/1873 in Italy. He died 5/27/1877 in Italy.

Tommaso Di Domenico Venditto and Maria Teresa Pellegrino Prozzo had the following children:

Guiseppa Petronilla Venditto was born 6/29/1885 in Italy. She died 4/8/1925 in 508 Cortland St, Bronx, NY.
Domenico Venditto was born 12/25/1887 in Italy. He died 1/1/1889 in Italy.
Domenico Pasqualine Venditto was born 9/5/1890 in Italy. He died 7/25/1892 in Italy.

Guiseppa came to the Bronx, NY and married Nicholas DeLapo.

Looking for info on Salvatore Ambrosino and his wife Maria Allocca.

They came from Naples to Brooklyn, NY in 1898.

Salvatore's parents were Michael Ambrosino and Concetta who died in childbirth. His 2nd wife was Carmela Franzese. Salvatore had many brothers including Erasmus Ambrosino who also came to Brooklyn.

Maria's parents were Joseph Allocca and Catherine Alfieri. Maria had 18 brothers

Gavino Bellucci came to Brooklyn, NY in 1901 staying with his daughter Agnese at 302 Union Ave. His wife Filomena Montano and children Pasquale, Elvira and Guiseppe came in 1906 to join him at 240 Union Ave.
My gr-gr-grandmother was on the same ship as the wife and children and listed Gavino as who she would be staying with. I am trying to find out how he knew my family and if he is related to us.

Comments:My gg-gf was John Augustine Bacigalupo, b 1811 in Carasco, Genoa, Liguria, Italy. He md Angelina Longinotti of nearby Prato Sopralacroce and they had 3 sons, James Augustine (Gus), John Battiste, and Joseph. Angelina died and in 1841 John left his sons with his sister, Rosa (Rosie) Crovo and came to USA, to Augusta, GA, where he md Amanda Weaver in 1847. Several children were born in GA, then the family moved to Nashville, TN., ca 1860 purchased land in Donelson, TN (Davidson Co.), several more children were born there.

The three sons came from Italy in 1852, Gus settled in Davidson Co., TN, John B. in Cincinnati, Ohio and Joseph disappeared and was never heard from again by the family.

John Augustines's father's name might have been Peter - I do not know his mother's name. He had brothers Vincent (res Baltimore, MD), Dominic (res Richmond, VA), and Joseph (res NY, d in Boston, Mass), and the sister, Rosie (Rosa) Crovo, who res in KY near Cincinnati I believe. I don't know whether John's siblings came over with him or if they came with his sons.

I would like to exchange info on this family - would love to hear from anyone who knows anything about any of these people.

Comments:I am the great granddaughter of Frank Cecchini of Shenandoah, Schuylkill Co., PA. I am searching for my family roots and have hit many dead ends. The problem is that my great grandmother (Isabel Yanchulis) divorced my great grandfather and left PA, never to speak of him again. We have desperately tried to find our family tree, but can only go so far.

As I said, my great grandfather’s name was Frank Cecchini (born: 28 Dec 1895, Died: 21 Feb 1963). His mother was Susan and father Peter or Pietro. They came though Ellis Island from Italy (records say from Rargo—not sure if that is correct—in 1893) and had at least two other sons, Michael and Pompia (or Pompeo). All three boys served in the military during WWI, Frank as a pilot. Frank and Isabel had four children: Mary (my grandmother), Francis, Bernice, and another child that died in childhood. My grandmother & her siblings are still alive and sometimes wonder about their father.

If you can shed any light on this family mystery or can point me in the right direction, please, please contact me at the information below.

His name was Antonio Trongo and was from somewhere in Calabria. He was born around 1888. His brother's name was Joseph. They settled in Altoona, PA, then moved to Grand Junction, CO. In 1912, my grandmother was sent to Grand Juction by her father, to marry my grandfather. The marriage had been arranged by their grandparents. Her name was Maria Finelli (or Fanelli) and she was born in Provencia di Foggio in about 1887. Her father was a violin maker. Her mother died when she was 16. She had one brother.

Comments:Hi, I've been looking for my grandfather's birth certificate or baptism certificate. All I know is that he was born in Italy, we suppose, based on family's histories, that he's from Grantorto, Padova, and we're not sure about the date as well, but we believe he was born on 22/jan/1907.

Wish me good luck!!!! If anyone could help, please contact me bpdelongo@yahoo.com.br

Comments:I am interested in tracing the geneaology on my mothers side. Her maiden name was maria diDonato. Her father name was Tony (Antonio?) and he immigrated here at least 100 years ago. I understand he was born in Sicily. I do not know my grandmother's maiden name, but she was born in Rome. My grandfather was a barber in Baltimore. We do not know what happened to him.
My mom is now 92 years old and I thought it would be nice to present her with a record of her family. I really don't know where to start. Any suggestions?

I really enjoyed this site..good job!

John had a sister, Rosie Crova, brothers Dominic, Joseph, Vincent and possibly Thomas who all settled in different states.

This Bacigalupo family is kin to the Barciagalupia and Batch families of Texas and Oklahoma, desc. of John and Amanda's son, Peter.
