trying to trace origin of my last name its carpenado i can

Post by ptimber »

TGhe surname can be spelled in a few different ways and one letter off can cause problems in research. Just where did they enter the coutnry from or from what town in Italy are they from and where did you get the spelling Carpenado from??? It doesn;t sound right. Peter

There are 97 Carpenedo listed for Italy but no Carpinado. One letter makes a difference. Where did you get caprinado from?? How far back does it go in your family as far as you know. Peter

Hi Jason,
I did a search of both variations of the surname... and this is all I could find from the Ellis Island website...
Carpanedo,Antonio of Fozo 1902 age 22
Carpanedo,Eugenio of Fozo 1902 age 26
Carpanedo,Guiseppe of Fozo 1902 age 38
Carpanedo,Luigi Fozo 1902 age 40
Carpenedo,Francesco Fozo 1902 
Carpenedo,Agostino of Asiago, Italy 1910 age 28 
Carpenedo,Giuseppe of Asiago, Italy 1910 age 28 

not many either... Fozo and Asiago are towns close to each other... But no ship record of your Great grandfather Mario. You did mention that he may have traveled alone... you were not sure.

I am not sure if you looked at the links to the manifest mentioned on the other post. This one in particular... note that Agostino was going to Spokane Washington to be with his cousin Mariano... Since Mariano (Mario) cannot be found on the Ellis Island database, he could have easily sailed to the Western ports of the USA/Canada (San Francisco or British Columbia)... or to other Eastern ports.

http://www.ellisisland.org/search/shipM ... 3202040187

here is a link to Fozo...
http://en.comuni-italiani.it/024/041/index.html

Using the "Locations in Italy" Database (on the left of the webpage...) just do a search of Asiago ...

I think it would help if you could give approximate birthdates... of the people you are looking for. Also you never did mention what Canadian province your Grandfather settled in....8O

If your Grandfather served in the Canadian Army, then you could contact the closest Canadian Legion in the area he lived in for info.

I think your ancestors are researchable... I don't think your last name is going to hamper your research... since there are 2 variations (for now)... and you only have 2 neighbouring towns to work with... Fozo and Asiago...

"yeah i know that i was in the city when that happened."

Can you offer more information about this?

Is this your Grandfather Victor? You did not even say who he was!

You also mentioned that you believe that your Grandfather was born in Drinkwater, Saskatchewan??

Please note, "suanj" is a researcher from Italy - who has offered great information. Try to avoid slang as it does not translate very well.

Could the "TUTTI DANOI" bit be "saluti da noi" = "regards from us"?

As suanj suggests, a scan of the hand writing would help greatly here.
