Vatolla, Italy Records - Melone Family

Post by pm16 »

Hello, I am looking for information on my family. My great great grandparents were Crescenzo (Carmine) and Marguerita Melone (Milone). They were from Vatolla, Province of Salerno, Italy. Can anyone tell me where I can access records from Vatolla?
Thank you very much. And, sorry if this posted twice!

Vatolla is a hamlet in the Commune of Perdifumo (I was there a few years ago, quiet and nice place!). Some records for Perdifumo are here:

Carmine Milone who arrived here in 1904 is my great grandmother's brother. Their father is Crescenzo Melone or Milone. My great grandmother, Pasqualina spelled it Milone, Carmen (Carmine) spelled it Melone. I don't think Crescenzo ever came to the U.S. He was married to Marghuerita D'ambrosio but I can't find anything on her either. Pasqualina and Carmine were born in 1878 and 1881. I did find a Carmine Melone who was born in 1859 but he is of no relation.
Thank you for your help!

well I found the birth act of a:
Carmine MILONE ( right spell):
born in Perdifumo on 29 Mar 1879 #15 son of Crescenzo Milone 22 old farmer and son of Margherita D'Ambrosio; married in Perdifumo on 27 Feb 1902 at Angela Rosa FIORE


https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... 1288494544
the wife first name is no Pasqualina... maybe Carmine becoming widow and remarried in USA?
here the marriage in Perdifumo 27 Feb 1902 #5 of this Carmine Milone 22 old son of Crescenzo Milone and Margherita D'Ambrosio and Angela Rosa Fiore 24 old daughter of late Gennaro Fiore and of Carmela Marotta
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... n161596005

it could be your ancestor?

Suanj- Pasqualina (Pasquasia) was my great grandmother, Carmine was her brother. Thanks to the link you posted, I did further research. Carmine's wife Angela died in 1906. He had come to the U.S in 1904. They had a daughter, Margaret who came to the U.S. around 1919. He had remarried a Catherine.
thank you all so much for your help..you guys are great! Thanks to you I now have the names of my great great great grandparents. :)

Thank you! Can you please translate this for me? It is Angelo D'ambrosio's death certificate. I think it is dated June 22, 1866 and I think it says he is the son of Guiseppe and lived in vatolla for 52 years..but that's all I can figure out.

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much. Thanks to you guys I have information further back than I could have possibly ever imagined! Now I know the earliest records online are 1866, but does anyone know how far back Italian records go?
