no birth place... I believe that he came from Casalincontrada or Bucchianico towns in Chieti province or surrounding area...

Name: Angelina Ludovici Malandre

U.S., World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1942 about Francisco Ludovici

I am pretty sure that Angela Teresa Ludovici is your Angelina, so the birthplace is Ateleta .. abt Eugenio... no luck with ship's manifest.. maybe a better and deep search can give success... finding the birthplace no problems with birth certificate request... abt marriage certificate.. you must search in Pennsylvania...

Re: Malandro or Blundo Research Help

Need a little help.

Trying to find where my GGP were married. I made a request to Lawrence County (city New Castle, PA) However, the county could not find any records of marriage. The county searched from 1885 -1918.

Eugenio Malandro
Angelina Ludovici

Any idea on how I can find where they were married?

Also trying to track down their death date and county so I can request death certificate.

So far I have tracked down and have copies of
Your maternal grandfather's birth certificate
Your maternal grandmother's birth certificate
Your grandparents' marriage certificate
Your mother's birth certificate

Sorry I know not where Angela Teresa ludovici married at Eugenio Malandra; however in her 1907 ship's manifest her final destination was New Castle, PA; so I assume married around 1908/9 in New Castle, maybe just in the church.. a church near Weaver st where Eugenio lived in 1910 census... just a suggestion,
