Okay I just had a visit with my grandfather and I asked him about my great grandfather and his ability to read and write in Italian. He told me that from what he can remember my great grandfather learned to read and write when he was a child in school back in Italy. He came from a town called Aprigl...

Wow I have not looked at this page in quite some time but it certainly is an important one for my family history. An interesting thing I have noticed in one of the records that Biff supplied to me earlier is that my great grandfather Pietro De Vuono appears to have been able to read and write in Ita...

Right thanks Biff!

So it is seems possible now that my grandfather Anthony was born in Canada and not the US. I do not think he even has a birth certificate.

Hmm that does not make much sense to me as we know that my grandfather who was born in 1922 was born in New Jersey. Maybe my family history is wrong though and my grandfather was not born in New Jersey? He always said he was though. They moved up here to Canada when he was young. I do not know if my...

So that was his second trip back over to the US from Italy correct? He must have went over to get his wife and children.

Thanks again Biff. Yes that is correct my great grandfather's wife was named Concetta Vigna and his first two children were Virginia and Assunta. Later on he and his wife had three more children one of whom was my grandfather Anthony. On this site I found a birth that may be my great grandfather. ht...

I thought I posted a 1903 manifest? The Pietro De Vuono on the manifest you just linked to me looks like my great grandfather as well. Which is correct?

Hello Biff, Wow thank you so much those are priceless records for me! I had no idea that my great grandfather's mother also came over to Paterson, New Jersey. I had always thought that his parents had stayed back in Aprigliano. This is excellent new information! :) I think this also helps to confirm...

I have found a Passenger Record for my great grandfather on the Ellis Island Foundation website. Here it is below. First Name: Pietro Last Name: De Vuono Ethnicity: Italy, Italian South Last Place of Residence: Aprigliano Date of Arrival: May 07, 1903 Age At Arrival: 23y Gender: M Marital Status: M ...

Thank you both very much for the warm welcome, replies and help! It is greatly appreciated! :) All of these sites look really good to me. I have registered on the site that Joannsalvo sent me. I have found a Pietro De Vuono born on 03/2/1880. This may be my own great grandfather. His parents were Gi...

Hello, I am new to the Forums here and I was wondering if anyone could help me at all in my quest for my De Vuono family ancestors? My great grandfather was named Pietro De Vuono and he was born in around the year 1880 (I think) in the small town of Aprigliano, Cosenza province, Calabria region, Ita...
