suanj,

Thanks for your help. How are you determining where Theresa might be from?

Thanks this information helps a lot.

Theresa’s maiden name was Cifuni although not sure about the correct spelling.

All of this information does appear to be about the people I'm looking for.

Joseph & Theresa Danze were born in Italy and came to the USA in about 1886 settling in Omaha. Joseph was born around 1865 and Theresa was born around 1886. The family story is that they came from the Potenza region.

Maria Rosetta Valluzzi, that's my cousin in Atella. She remembers her grandfather talking about his brother, my grandfather and has invited me to come visit her . I'm thinking about taking a conversational Italian class.

Thanks for your help.

The information I have for Giambattista Valluzzi shows him being born in 1885 and dying in 1937 at the age of 52. I believe this also matches the ships manifest. Some of the Chicago, Cook County, Illinois birth records of Giambattista's children list his place of birth as being Atella, Potenza, Basi...

She married a man that left her, I don't know his name. She then had four children out of wedlock with a man named Vincenzo Brenna and the children kept her maiden name, Valluzzi. The children's names were Vito Rocco, Giuseppe, Maria Rosa and my Grandfather Giambattista. Maria Carmela immigrated to ...

I'm trying to find information about my Great Grandmother, Maria Rosa Valluzzi, born in Pietrapertosa, Potenza, Basilicata, Italy around 1855.

Thanks

Jim

Has anyone worked with the National Italian American Foundation to apply for dual American Italian citizenship or have any information about them?

My Grandparents are suppose to have come from Potenza. The family settled in Chicago, Illinois and we think they came to the USA in the early 1900. We think my Grandfather's first name was Giovanni but it may have been Giambattista and my Grandmother's name was Filomena Papa.
