Thanks for this opportunity. I have just begun to research my heritage. My grandfather
was Russell DeSalvo(Rossario DiSalvo). He was born in Sicily, I think in San Giuseppe,in
1891, and came to the U.S.around 1901. his father was Joseph,and also came at the same
time. His mother was Antonnia Puma. My grandfather came through Ellis Island, but I don't
know who sponsored him. He spent some time in North Carolina, and eventually made his way
to Cincinnati, Ohio.Any info would be appreciated. Thanks! Diane

I am researching Ferdinand LUCHENE b.Nov.1835 in Italy. His name was somehow changed
when he immigrated, the immigration date is unknown. He married Susan Nottingham after he
immigrated, his children's birthdates are in the 1880s. I am guessing that his name could
have been LUCHINI since I found another LUCHENE whose name had been changed from LUCHINI.
This other Luchene married a woman named NOTTINGHAM and lived in Michigan near where
Ferdinand & Susan lived. Anybody have a clue as to how to proceed? Thank you, Nancy

Hey Joe!

Sorry Joe, hope you're not mad. I really do appreciate your website, for some reason it's tougher for me to trace my Italian roots (Father's side) than my French & English (Mother's side). Go figure.

I have family records for the Laurello (Laurelli) family tree dating back to the 1700's. My grandmother on my mother's side was Anita Laurello who lived most of her life in Ashtabula, Ohio. She was born in Isernia in the Abruzzo-Molise Region of Italy, and there are still many Laurellos living there today. I have visited Isernia several times and recommend the town for summer visits because it is not too touristy and there are many Etruscan, Roman, and Samnite ruins to discover and photograph there. It is an excellent place to bicycle--some of the roads are 17% grades up and down.

My grandparents immigrated from Potenza/Basilicata. His name was Leonard DeLorenzo and my grandmother's name was Anna Graziadei. My grandfather's brother James also came over. My grandparents married in this country. My grandmother first lived in Brooklyn with an aunt. After the married they lived near Greenwich Village, MacDougal Street. My grandparents had six children all born in America. My great-grandfather's name was Giorgio. There must be some family left in Italy because both my grandparents had brothers and sisters who did not immigrate. When I was a small child, all the cousins and friends would have a formal dinner at a very nice hotel in NYC. They were all from the same town - Laurenzen or something like that. Translated I assume it stands for Lorenzo. I was talking with the owner of a gift shop in Central NY and his mother's maiden name is Graziadei and they were from Utica, NY. My ancestry on my Mother's side in not Italian. Thanks. Have a good day?

VISCONTI-WISCONS-VISCONTI-WISCONS I am troubled. I've been looking through the guestbook for over an hour when I find someone looking for VISCONTI and some how, it booted me out when I tried to reply. My grandfather's name is Frank WISCONS. He lived in Chicago. All of the information I have is sketchy, but I do understand that he was the first generation to be born in America. I know that WISCONS is an "Ellis Island" name and our family name was VISCONTI. I know my mother was an orphan and I am still trying to find information on that. I would love to hear from anyone with information for me. Thank you, Joe for trying to bring people together.

My Family is from Barga, Lucca IT near Florence. I am looking for living relatives and any further information on ancestors earlier than those I now mention. My gg-grandfather's name is Domenico born 1805 in Barga. His wife is named Assunta. Her maiden name was also Caproni. Sketchy information I have from a relative is that Domenico was raised by a Henry Marcucci. Assunta's parents Lorenzo and Marghorita along with Domenico and Assunta are all listed on the 1840 Barga church record. Domenico's son Antonio is my g-grandfather. He came to Chicago where he had a Saloon in the 1870s and 1880s. He married an Illinois girl named Mary Eliza Darnell. his older brother Joseph stayed in Italy and had several sons most of whom came to the Chicago area. Antonio helped most of them get started in business. I have located a few of their descendants but many of them either died young or went back to Italy before 1906. I have located another Caproni family group in the US centered in Maysville, Ky. I went to their reunion in 1995. Their roots are also from Barga/CastelVecchio.

I am told that a branch of the DeMore(D'Amore)family immigrated to Argentina. As late as the 1930's - 1940's there had been some contact between these family branches by letter. But, you guessed it, all parties are deceased and no correspondance, can be found. Any info out there? Any of this match with with some of your information? Please mail. Many thanks.

Hello Joe, I came to this country in '59 with a group of young children to be adopted, and am researching my ancestry. I was born in Corleone, my Mothers name was Domenica Pilliteri, and my Fathers name was Rosario Sasso. I think I was in an orphanage since birth, and the nun who coordinated the trip to the US was Sister Carmelina. Any information related to resources to search would greatly be appreciated. Thanks for the help, Liz
