Passero Family from Amorosi, Benevento

[nbrumet]

Hello! I'm looking for information on the Passero family that is from Amorosi, Benevento (near Naples). I am the great grandson of Armando Passero and the grandson of Patsy Passero. Armando came to New York in 1906. I would really like to know the names and birth dates of Armando's parents if anyone has that information. Thanks!

Hi!! I'm also a great-grandchild of Armondo Passero my grandmother is his daughter Louise (Luisa). She is still alive,
And lives in Orange County, CA and is 92 years old . My father , David Snyder is her youngest son. Antionette Passero was a big part of my childhood, but passed away in 1978 when I was 10 years old. I have many photos of them and a few home movies

I am the great-grandaughter of Alfredo Passero, born in 1888 from Amorosi, Benevento Italy (possibly arrived in NY in 1905). I am nearly certain that he is a brother of Armando (of Niagara Falls), however Alfredo lived in Syracuse, Ithaca, and then Rochester, NY. According to my mother's records, there was a brother Ernesto who went to Ethiopia but then returned to Italy. And a younger brother born after Alfredo and Armando were in NY is Michael. His daughter ended up with the family house in Italy. Unfortunately this is all I know and it would be great to learn more about the family.

I am a granddaughter of Alfredo Passero, who was the brother of Armando Passero. We have been trying to get more family information. We visited the Niagara Falls family back when I was a child a few times. I have info about the family home in Italy as well as some of the relatives there.
