I'm interested in any information on the Righettis and Spillers from Northern Italy. Among my ancesters are Angelo Righetti and Angela Spiller, who immigrated to the USA through Ellis Island in the early 1900's. Thank you.

According to there 1910 census in Pennsylvania they where married around 1902 in Italy
What I would do is send for there marriage act with the info Paola gave you which will contain in the marriage registers give the date of the marriage and the names of the bride and groom. They also indicate whether the bride and groom were single or widowed and give the names of witnesses. They often include other information about the bride and groom, such as age, birthplace, residence, occupation, name of person giving consent, and names of parents. In cases of second and later marriages, the marriage registers may include the names of previous spouses and their death dates. The registers usually include the date of the church ceremony.(familysearch.org)

Judi,

Have you found anything more about the families back in Capovalle? My great great grandfather, Dominic Cristiano Spiller, b 1875 in Capovalle, married Catterina Rainotti, and moved to PA around 1897. His brother, Batista Spiller, b ~1891, married Domenica Righetti.

I was wondering if you had found anything more out about the Spiller family back in Italy. I believe their parents were Giacomo Spiller, b 1852 in Austria, and Margaret Magagnini.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Tom
