| Comments: | Hello all, I see on this website some people came to Ohio to live including my great grandfather. We had a lot of Italians settle here in the early part of the 1900's in towns... Midvale, Dennison, Roswell, New Philadelphia, Uhrichsville. These are all in Tuscarawas County. If you had relatives settle here I can do some research if you need help. There were a lot of coal mines here. My great grandfather worked in the Midvale mine. He was an Albertini who was born in Revo. Let me know if you need any help! Also, thanks for the info on my great grandfather ! |

| Comments: | Hello..... I'm looking for more information on my family. My great grandfather is Serafino Alexander Albertini. He listed his sister Maria Pancheri living in Romallo.He also had siblings Catina, Columba,Pete, etc. his parents were John Alexander Albertini and Mary Rose Fleim. I'm pretty sure they were born in Tyrol, Austria. I think where they were from is now part of Italy. He listed his last residence as Trento, Italy. He came to the United States in in April 1921. Sailed from Napoli on March 9. I would appreciate any info you might come across. I do know he was the only one of the family to come over. He settled in Midvale, Ohio in Tuscarawas county and worked in the coal mine. He had a friend Guiseppe Clauser that came over before he did. Thanks so much!!!! |

| Comments: | I have traced my Martini roots to the late 1400's in Revo, Italy. My grandmother was Lucia Rosa Rossi who was also born in Revo in the 1870's but that is about as far as I have gotten because of the many Rossis. She was the daughter of Maddelena Moscon and Stephano Rossi Maddelena was the daughter of Pietro Moscon. I have no idea of the parents of Stephano. I do know he was from Revo. I would like this last piece of the puzzle. I have been to Revo twice in the past 6 years and hope to go again this year to visit Martini relatives and any Rossi ones I can find. I need some help |

We try to make our activities multigenerational. My grandparents, Fiore (Fred) Zadra and Domenica (Minka) Fellin both came to Seattle from Revò in Val di Non. There is a large group of their descendants in the Seattle area and we have many cousins whose families settled in New York and Pennsylvania. |

I have searched many different data bases and cannot find any information. I have also looked into ship's logs for that time and have not found records of these two families ever arriving in Brazil, but they did. They went to work on the railroad construction in the state of Sao Paulo and there raised a very large family. I am one of many great-granddaughters and am writing the family history.

Many family name that I read in your messages are the same of some friend's name but I'm 34 and I don't live regularly in Cavareno so it's a bit hard to me to help you in detail about old people. My Grandmother name is Pia Piazzi, she is 84 years old and she live in Castelfondo, her father went to USA in 1900 and stayed almost 15 years working in a gold mine. All my others grandparents are unfortunately gone,their names were: Valentino Genetti (Castelfondo), Roberto Pellegrini (Cavareno), Ancilla Battocletti (Cavareno). Maybe someone knows them!! There are recent Italian books about "Val di Non" and peculiars part of it, we grow apples and grapes, we produce milk and cheeses,we speak always "nones" as family language, we go to the church, we work with wood stuff ....in fact nothing has changed in the last 50 years !

| From: | Mary Rose Martini |
| E-mail: | eds_rose @msn.com |
| Comments: | I'm researching family history and was surprised and delighted to see my great grandfather's picture on your website. He is Leonardo Banaletti. His first wife was Concepta Martini. Their first child was my grandmother - Maria Rose Banaletti- born Nov.3rd 1897 in New Philadelphia, Ohio. Was told Concepta died from the flu and pneumonia when my grandmother was very young. And Leonado returned to Italy and eventually married his wife's sister and then came back to the USA and eventually moved to Colorado. The time line is off as we thought Grandma was 8 years old when her mother died; but according to your info she was 8 when her father died in 1905. Trying to figure out the chronology of events in her life. I have a copy of a photo of my grandma and her family? and the idenifying photographer is "Aultman- Trinidad, Colorado." Grandma looks to be around 12 or 13 years old. I thought the older man in the photo was her father. Based on the info at your site, it cannot be him as he died 6 (?) years previously. Any suggestionsas are welcomed as to how to find more info. on who is in the photograph? And if Leonado did indeed return to Italy before moving to Colorado? My Grandmother married Luigi Martini an Italian immigrant from I beleive from Tuenno, Italy. Thank you. |

| Comments: | My nona was Josephine Albertini Voltolini. She was brought to Wallace, Idaho from Revo by her brothers Albert, Dan, George and John (may be other siblings) to marry a chosen man. She instead married my nono Faust Voltolini originally from Strigno, Italy. I am visiting Revo area in late May and would love as much information about my family as possible. My nona was very good friends with Minca (Dominica) Zadra who settled in Seattle, WA. I am one of Harry Dan Voltolini's daughters. My nona Josephine had a niece Carolina Inama Visintainer, Joe Inama and I believe another nephew who was a priest. |

| Comments: | My grandfather Antonio Scarpari emigrated in 1905 departing from Cherburg, Havre, France, traveling on American Lines Philadelphia (ship). He lists on his naturalization papers that he was born Jan 22 1872 in the village of Storo, parents Frauk and Elizabeth Scarpari. We know nothing about my grandfather, he was killed in 1927 in a ceiling mine cave in. In 1907 he brought over from the village of Livio Maria Zanotelli, and they were married Jan 1907 with her brother Virgilio Zanotelli as witness, Virgilio then moved to Ohio. Antonio worked in the mines in Darraugh, Pa I am trying to research my grandfathers heritage, as all 7 children are now departed and we have searched all their papers and found alot of identification on Maria, but nothing on Antonio Scarpari...which leaves us wondering if his name somehow got misspelled upon arrival. Any help from anyone would be appreciated. Thank you. |

| Comments: | Hello, Researching Val di Non for a report for my son in school on Italy. We picked this beautiful country as my grandfather came from the area of Trento (specifically the Val di Non). My grandfather's name was Frank Basil Menapace whose family settled in Clarksville (a territory) prior to New Mexico becoming a state. His wife Amelia Serafin came from Walsenburg, Colorado. We are unsure of where her family originated as she was taken in by an aunt when her parents died. We have traced the family back to an Archbishop Menapace and have found a family crest. I am unclear with a lot of this as my mother has also passed on. |

His father was Pietro born in 1847. Pietro's father Luigi, not sure of his birthdate. Luigi's father Pietro was born in 1796? I have the name Guiseppe for Peitro's father but that is as far as I can get. Can anyone help? It is thought that maybe my Great Grandfather Nicolo entered the US in Pa. He had a brother named Alphonse who settled in New Mexico, but that has not led me anywhere yet. Where would I search for ship manifest records in Pennsylvania? Vulcan, Michigan is just around the corner, so if anyone needs some information....I can help! Oh yeah, we still have Polenta at deer camp served with red sauce, Asiago cheese and fresh venison.

| Comments: | Hello All! Since my last post I have discovered that my great-grandparents, PIETRO PEDERGNANA (later Peter Pedegana) and MARIA DOMINICA ALBASINI of Dimaro, Italy, were married in Feb. 1888 in Vulcan Michigan. The witnesses were listed as Charles Marcsini and Mary Marsheti. I am sure that the names are written incorrectly. I believe that the second name, Marsheti, should have been MARCHETTI, but I am not sure. I have no idea about the first. At the time there was an iron ore mine in Vulcan and a large Italian community. I would greatly appreciate any information on the place or the names. Diane Burns |

| Comments: | Hello again! Since writing on April 14 I have been able to find out a lot about my relatives, much of it thanks to the kindness of the readers of this page. Thanks so much! First, the family name is not Pedegana, but is rather Pedergnana. My great-grandmother was born DOMINICA ALBASINI in 1865, and seems to have been from Dimaro. My great-grandfather was born PIETRO PEDERGNANA in 1860, son of ANTON PEDERGNANA and PASQUA ALBASINI, either from Dimaro itself or the vicinity. We think he was orphaned at a very young age. They were married in Menominee, Michigan on Feb. 04, 1888. In 1889 my grandfather, Joseph was born in Issaquah, Washington where Peter Pedegana (new name) worked in the coal mines. Does anyone know why they would have been in Menominee? I see that there was mining there, but I don't see that it was coal mining. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

| Comments: | Hello! I have long known that my great-grandparents came from a town in the Tirol region of Italy. Just recently the staff of the Issaquah, Washington Historical Society has located documents that show they were from the town of Dimaro. My great-grandfathr's name was PETER PEDEGANA. He left Dimaro in the 1880's and went to work in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. In the census around that time he listed he nationality as Austrian. He kept going west, and finally settled in Issaquah, Washington, just outside of Seattle. This was a coal mining town at that time. He sent for his bride who was waiting in Dimaro and he became the leader of the coal miner's union in Issaquah, demanding decent working conditions. He was quite a hero. My great grand-mother died of a strange disease that maybe was something like lupus, but it was passed on to all of her daughters, who also died of this disease. I know it baffled the doctors and some of my mother's aunts were studied by the University of Washington, who could not identify this disease. I would love to hear from anyone who has knowledge of my family background. Thanks! Diane Burns |

| Comments: | I have an inquiry and am asking for anyone's help/expertise. I am unable to find ship records for my grandmother, although on her naturalization application she listed a ship name (LaProvence arrived Nov. 24, 1906) arriving at Ellis Island. I am unable to find her name on that ship; I think she came to America under an assumed name...to marry the man from her town in Trentini whom she accompanied. This man's first wife was said to have died at sea on their way back to visit her family in Trento. My question is this: were records kept for people leaving the port of New york returning to Trento, and where could I access them? If I can prove that this woman died at sea, as it is assumed, then my grandmother assumed this worman's name as she came to America. I can prove that she married this man 2 weeks later when they arrived in Central City, Colorado. Thanks for any advice and help. |

I am now trying to find out about my father's uncle, Angelo Martini, born in 1888 who came to the U.S. in 1905 and died in 1918. He never "wrote home" so was pretty much disinherited by his father Pio Martini. What I have been able to find is that he came to Ohio to be with his cousin, Dominico Ravina. According to his WWI draft registration he was married with 4 children but no names were mentioned. He died in Tuscarawas County Ohio and is supposed to be buried in Roswell, Ohio. I am looking for any relatives as there are relatives in Italy who want to know about them. Another reason is that if he did not have sons,the line of Pio (Lau)Martini will die out. Any information would be appreciated. |

| Comments: | Thanks so much for the website. I love reading the stories and history. I have been searching for my husband's ties to his genealogy for years. Our original last name spelling is MARIGNONI. From what I've been able to research, there were once quite a few of them in the mining areas of Michigan and then Rocksprings, Wyoming. We have been trying to locate any information about John MARIGNONI or his father Vincent. I think John immigrated to the states sometime in the mid 1880's but have been unable to verify or find much more on him prior to his marriage in 1887. All of the men in the family have died very young, except for my husband's father, and therefore we don't have much in the way of stories or information. If anyone has any information about the area they may have come from I would love to hear from you. All we have is a marriage certificate from Michigan that gives the birthplace as Tirol. We would love to visit the area. Thanks Debbie |

| Comments: | I found this website about 2 1/2 years ago through which I was able to email Storo, Italy where my grandfather, Antonio Zontini was born. I connected with relatives that my mother did not know she had. At the age of 85, I took her on a trip to Italy to see her father's hometown in Storo and then to Selva Di Levico where her mother, Adelaide Furlan was born. It was wonderful to give her this experience. I am returning to Italy in July 2010; I can't wait to return. Elaine D. |

| Comments: | Hello, My paternal grandmother's maiden name was Stanchina and her family was from Livo. As I've searched my family tree, I've found Zannotelli, Dalpiaz, Sparapani, Furlani, Facini, and Fedrigoni family names that are from Varallo, Livo and Preghena who immigrated to the Bridgeport, Ohio area. If anyone has any info about these families, I'd be happy to hear it! Thanks so much! Leean |
| Name: | Jim Genetti |
| From: | Boise, Idaho |
| E-mail: | jimgenetti@gmail.com |
| Comments: | I was born in 1943 in Rock Springs, Wyoming. My Father was Leno Genetti, my grandfather was Frank Genetti (Francesco)and my grandmother was Ermina Yannes. My grandfather was from Castelfondo, Italy and my Grandmother was from Dovina, Austria. Dovina is today a part of Italy. My great grandfather was Angelo Genetti he emigrated to the USA in the late 1800 and my grandfather, the oldest of five boys, followed him shortly thereafter. My grandfather worked in the mines in Superior until about 1943 and they he moved to Hooper, Utah to farm along with his brother Dominic Genetti. I have a family tree which was completed by my grandfather's relatives in Italy which dates back to the 1400's. My grandfather died in 1974 at the age of 89. I am currently 66 years old. Our family is related to the Anselmis, Menghinis and Bertognolis and others. A few years ago we had a reunion in Hooper, Utah and visited with relatives who came over from Castelfondo to visit. My wife learned to make polenta, torte and other dishes passed down from my grandmother and my aunt. |

| Comments: | You have a very comprehensive site. Lots of good information. I am disappointed that you apparently have no information about the villages of Amblar, Don or Malgolo. Of course I would notice this because my paternal grandparents emigrated from those locations. I am grateful for the information you present, however. Thank you. Gary Asson |

| Comments: | Very nice web site. A friend recently moved to Vicenza, Italy and when trying to convince my husband to go for a visit, I discovered our friend is living very close to the home of my husband's ancestors. My husband's family came from Smarano. His father is George Recla, grandfather is Luigi (Louis), great grandfather is Giovanni Recla. Giovanni's brothers were Clemente and Valentino. Grandfather Luigi's siblings are Clemento, Evaristo, Raffaele, Carolina, Cesare and Zelinda. We don't have much information on the youngest children. Our family has had contact with the family of Valentino (Clemente's son)in Smarano, and we will hope to visit them in early 2010. |

| Comments: | You have an interesting site. My grandfather immigrated from the village of Amblar, located approximately two kilometers from Romeno, via Cavareno. My grandmother immigrated from Malgolo, approximately three kilometers from Romeno, south toward Cles. Grandfather was Fidele "Joe" Asson. Grandmother was Rosa Angela Gabardi. I have quite a lot of genealogy information about both families. Family names included among my ancestors include Graiff, Martini, Marineli, Garabili and others. There are a number of people in Romeno, Cavareno, Don and Amblar from the famiglia Asson. My grandparents worked the coal mines of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming from the late 1800's until about 1910 when they came to Idaho to farm. Gary Asson |

| Comments: | This is a wonderful resource. I've been trying to trace my family geneology in Strigno. My uncle emigrated to the US in 1918, or therabouts, and not sure if he intentionally changed his surname to Trent from our families name, Sartori. In any case, my father went to Argentina in 1924, spent 20 years there trying to join his brother and after marrying my mom there, was finally able to emigrate in 1946. He changed his name to "Trent" then as well. The clerk in the municipal office of Strigno emailed me the names of some of my great-grandparents, but I hope to dig deeper. Thanks!!! |

| Comments: | My grandfather, Giuseppe VIELMETTI, immigrated to the U.S. from Tavon in 1909. He first worked in the mines in Pennsylvania and ended up in Superior, WY by 1917. He changed his name to Wilmetti, saying no one would ever be able to spell or pronounce Vielmetti. Family legend says he was in line to be a count and left to avoid taking on the title. I have found nothing to back this up. My grandmother, Anna CRISTANELLI, immigrated to Superior, WY in 1922 from Fondo to join other family members who were already there. I also the names Magagna and Tavonatti in my family tree. |

| Comments: | I just returned from Italy two days ago. I visited with my Martini and Rossi relatives in Revo. My Martini family have been there since 1453 and the Rossi family since the 1500's. Needless to say, I am related to a lot of people there. I have enjoyed each stay. This year they were harvesting their apples and since I come from apple country in Washington state it was interesting to watch. My grandfather Bartolomeo Martini and my grandmother Rosa Rossi left Revo for the Hazelton PA area in the late 1890's and were married there. I took my children and one of my grandsons on this trip so they would know their "roots". |

| Comments: | My grandfather, Giovanni Martini came to America in 1923 via the Fratelli Cosulich shipping line. He worked in the coal mines in Wyoming because an uncle from Kemmerer sponsored him and ultimately ended up in Chicago, IL. He had been active in the Trentino club of America. His home town is Revo, Italy and I visited there in 2001. He married Ines Corazolla from Trieste. Northern Italy is beautiful, serene and the Dolomites are spectacular. The Martini's are alive and well in Revo. |

| E-mail: | adalpiaz@cfl.rr.com |
| Comments: | My great grandfather Giuseppe Dalpiaz (wife:Lucia Franch) and my grandfather Severino Dalpiaz (wife: Emma Fauri) are from Cloz, Italy. My grandfather immigrated to New York in the early 1900's. My grandmother Emma Fauri was from Bresimo and remained in Italy. I have very little information about my grandmother who died in 1949. Any help would be appreciated. The post from someone stating that his grandfather insisted he was from Austria, not northern Italy is probably correct. Much of Trentino was part of Austria until the end of WW II when it was ceded to Italy. The area was the scene of extremely heavy fighting between the Austrian and Italian forces during WW II at Mount Pasubia. Anyone who may have information about the Fauri name from Bresimo or Dalpiaz from either Cloz or Cis would be appreciated. |

| Comments: | What a gift! I've had such little luck researching the history of my ancestors (grandmother and great-grandfather) who left the town of Mori to work on the Macaroni Railroad in Texas. I'm presently writing a novel based on the story of that failed railroad venture. Pieces of it have been published, but I've finally committed to it becoming a book-length narrative. I'd not been able to find a resource for some of the history until discovering your site. I'm looking to travel to Mori sometime early next year for more in-depth, on-the-ground research. I'll make sure to reach out to you at that time for some suggestions on where to begin. Warm regards, Debra |

The little town of Bersone is about 90% Bugna surname and I find that many of the names in the rosters will have the Bugna underlined followed by another name. Is this other name an identifier? a way to keep the several different lines of Bugna differentiated? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you! By the way, I think you have a great website and have referred numerous people to it. |

| Comments: | My great grandfather/grandmother are Trentino emigrants. Floro or Fiorello Flor came from Revo Italy in the late 1800.'s. He first landed in Hazelton Pennsylvania working in a coal mine. He later moved to Telleride CO and was burned out of his home by Pinkertons and CO state police for attempting to form a union. He later moved to Ouray CO. where he struck a glory hole and bought the Western Hotel. His Wife was Marie Or Mary (maiden name Pretti) the Pretti's come from Cagno Italy one town over from Revo. She brought my grandmother Lena Pretti (born 1898)(her cousin) to the USA to work in the hotel. She told me as a child she was kiss by Emporer Franz Joseph when he went through he town. She had many sisters and her parents also emigrated to the USA. She later married Mary Flor's second son Frank. Many names from your list are family friends. Casablanca, Moscon, and several other are Trentino who came to the USA. What a small world. Great web site. It is nice to know that they were not alone when they migrated from this rather small place in Europe |

I have discovered that my Grandmother, Celesta Francisi, born 4/15/1881, daughter of Basilio Francisci and Joannis(Joahanna)(nee Tiel)Francisci had come from Romeno, Trentino, Italy. She was baptized in San Stefanus Church. I believe that she had at least one brother Angelo possibly a second Albino.. My grandfaher, Giustiniano Rizza, born 12/20/1778, I just found out from hand written marriage records, was the son of Sebastiani & "Tesara Elisabetha?". I believe he had an uncle? Alberto Rizza(born 1879-80)(he was a witness at the marriage and my father's godfather). I have found a record of Aberto coming to Amer 1907 and listed Pieve Tesino as home. I would appreciate any information that you might be able to supply me about any of these people or any advice on how to go about contacting anyone who might be able to help me find more definitive information about my ancestors. I also have, possibly a very unusual, question - do descendents of Italians of Trentino inhabitants whose ancestors were born while Trentino was part of Austria consider themselves to be of Italian or Austrian descent? |

| Comments: | Hi my name is Heidi and I am looking for anyone or anything related to the Biasi family from Sfruz, Italy. Also I believe at one point that is was part of Austria. My Grandmothers name was Josephine Biasi she was born here in the USA when her Mother and Father were visiting they traveled often to the US from what I understand and that is why my Grandmother was born here. But she was raised in Sfruz. At some point she came back with my Great-Grandfather and he left her here with some friends while he went back but he died before he could come back for her. So she stayed here and met and married my Grandfather Joseph Kerschbaumer from Austria. They later changed the name from Kerschbaumer to Kershbaumer they just removed the C from the last name. The whole family from what I understand came here often and traveled back and forth between here and there. So please if anyone has any info please feel free to contact me anytime. Thank you very much! Heidi (Kershbaumer) Ellington |

| Comments: | I've just found out that my Grandfather (Celeste Beber) had an older brother, Antonio. They both came from Vignola, TN. He arrived at Ellis Island on Feb 1905 a year after Celeste. The ships manifest indicate he headed to Trinidad, CO. Old pictures showed he was married and had 3 childrn (2 daughters and i son.) The pictures were taken in Gallop, MN. I've reviewed this site as it had a lot of info on the Colorado area..but no mention of Antonio. I've check other CO sites and found there is a negative of a Beber girl and the notice of a young man died in a mining accident. The dates don't seem to match a connection. If any one has any addional info please e-mail me. Enjoy this site. |
