Thanks for this website. It has helped me immensely with my genealogy site. I am researching my maternal grandfather's family. His name was Giuseppe D'Angelo born in February 1897. A birth certificate issued in 1960 came from Penne, Pescara however I was told by my grandfather that he was from Pratola Peligna. He came to the United States around 1912 to meet up with his brother Donato in Boston. Later both Giuseppe and Donato relocated to Rochester, NY and settled permanently. It is my understanding that their father's name was Domenico D'Angelo and their mother's name was Maria Carmena DiNorscia (this may have been her maiden name or the surname of her second husband). Domenico passed when my grandfather was a young boy and Maria Carmena remarried. Between her two husbands it is believed that there may have been 12 children in all. Giuseppe and Donato also had a sister, Giulia, who came to the US but settled in Camden, NJ. I would love to hear from anyone who may have information regarding this family genealogy.

My name is Domenica Crognale. I am thinking of planning a trip to Italy and would like to visit any family still in the area. My grandmother Domenica Ciccocioppo (born February 16, 1906) married my grandfather Danato Crognale and moved to Pennsylvania. They are originally from Lanciano. I believe one of their brothers moved to Argentina (not sure if it was a Crognale or Ciccocioppo), but I would love to meet any and all family!).

My great grandfather was Francis Alexander Passerini, I think. we were always told that he was from Switzerland, but maybe he was from Italy. He was married twice and from the second marriage to Jane Lowry my grandmother - Annie Marie Elizabeth was born - 13/7/1884

Hello! My Italian family settled in Chicago in the 1800s and I think they are from Abruzzo I'm not sure though. Filomena Melone is the woman that immigrated from Italy to Chicago, all my grandma knows about where she came from is in the mountains kind of northeast of Rome, since I've seen other posts from Melones from Abruzzo and it's kind of the area my grandma has described I'm thinking it's the right place. Another family name I haven't found anywhere else from Italy is Cavico, maybe someone knows where that's from? Could it be Abruzzo?
