Are you looking for living relatives?
Or are you interested in historical information?
We might be able to help with a genealogical search if you could provide some additional details... first names, approx. years of birth, spouse?

Some death records for Isca sullo Ionio are available at the free site http://www.familysearch.org You will need to register at this site to view the records.

Isca sullo Ionio - 1809-1865 Morti (morti=deaths)
https://familysearch.org/search/image/i ... %3D1937913

For instance, in 1865, if you go to the index at the end of the book of deaths for that year, you will see this page listing two Dominianni deaths.
Elisabetta Dominianni, daughter of Saverio and of Teresa Siglone(?), died 28 April, and is record #18
Saverio Dominianni, son of deceased Pasquale and of Fortunata Vivino, died 29 December, and is record #60.

Then you can go backward through the records to find these death acts using the record #. :-)


For Davoli, there are some births (nati) available as well... (1816-1855)

Thank you for your reply.

Yes I am looking for information on my family and curious to see if I have living relatives in Italy.

My great-grandfather's name was Antonio Dominianni and he was born around 8 July 1895 in Isca Sullo Ionio. He had a brother named Bruno Fiore Dominianni born in 1903. I was told that my great-grandfather had another brother, born after he left for the USA in 1912, named Alberto. I believe their father's name was Francesco Dominianni (born 1867), however I do not know the name of their mother.

My great-grandmother's name was Anna Qualtieri although she was born in Philadelphia. Her father was Francesco Qualtieri and he was born in Davoli around 1861. Her mother was Maria Qualtieri (I believe the maiden name was Ricci) and was born in 1862. Anna had two sisters born in Davoli, Catherine born in 1895 and Teresa born in 1897. Several other siblings died in infancy and I do not know their names.

My paternal grandfather was Sverio Dominianni from Isca Sull' Iono. He and his brother Pasquale both emigrated to the USA in the early 1900. Pasquale died in a return visit to Italy, Saverio died in New York in 1942.
If you do any searches, be aware of alternate name spellings: the cemetery in Isca contains Dominianni, Dominjanni and Dominijanni, since the family was originally Greek, part of Magna Grecis
