Chiuchiolo Family Name

by **LisaRoberts** » 26 Nov 2002, 16:09

Hello, I began a search of my family name, Chiuchiolo, about two years ago and have come to a road block. I believe the next generation for me to find, my great, great, great grandparents. My family information is below. If you can help in any way I\'d greatly appreciate it. My grandparents are: Grandfather: Louis Chiuchiolo was born in Boston, Massachusetts around 1910 (I think). Grandmother: Henrietta Chiuchiolo (her maiden name is Lada). Henrietta lived in Chelsea, Massachusetts (near Boston) in the United States. Louis ran Tony\'s Meat Market (a meat grocer) in Chelsea. My great-grandparents are: Great-grandfather: Antonio Chiuchiolo was born in Italy around 1870 (I think). Great-grandmother: Filomena Chiuchiolo (her maiden name is Pagliuso). They lived in the \"North End\" (which means \"north side\" in English) of Boston until around 1900, when they moved to Chelsea, Massachusetts. Antonio ran Tony\'s Meat Market in Chelsea. My great-great-grandparents are: Nunzio and Maria Antonia Chiuchiolo (her maiden name is Lebuito) lived in Italy. I don\'t know where in Italy. Thsi is all I have. Please either email me or post a message here. Thank you! Lisa Chiuchiolo Roberts Lisa_Ann_Roberts@hotmail.com null

If you began your search 2 years ago hen please tell me what you research to date so that we don\'t re=invent the wheel so to speak. I am sure you checked ellis island records but perhaps they came thru Boston and since you don\'t say much about their entry into the USA neither can I say much back. If you do not know the town of origin then please let me know ,at least the province so that there is some connection soemwhere. The surname does notappear to be in the Italian surname ditrectory which would be a strong indiation that is is local in origin and tied to the town of origin in some way. Please get back to me with entry data into the USA and Italy relatives or documents that you wish. Peter

Hello, Peter, My dad believes that they entered through Boston, MA. I checked Ellis Island to be sure and didn\'t find anything. I\'m not sure where to go in Boston to find information on a ships arrival in the late 1800\'s or early 1900\'s. My father has been told that we are from a small province in central Italy where there are many Chiuchiolo\'s, but again, this in only hearsay. I\'m very new to genealogy searching. Any advise would be helpful. Thank you very much! Lisa Chiuchiolo Roberts

The best way to go is obtaining the microlfim at the Mormon church Family History Library nearest your home and request their Microlfim#1324974 or 1205456 which is the alphabetical index of passengers arriving in Boston from 1902-1920 which should cover (if not let me know if the eyars are not good) their arrival in Boston. Tese catalog # are nbased upon the National Archives microlfim of immigrant and passenger arrivals and in youir case for Chiuchiolo is T521-2 and corresponds to the Mormon microfilm above. You can also just file a form 81 with National Archives giving them the NARA# and if they come up with the answer you pay them about $18.00. iF THEY DO NOT COME UP WITH AN ANSWER IT IS FREE.. Go to wwwgenealogylookups.com/narchives.htm for the Form 81. Your choice. When you get the microfil for the passenger arrival and see from what town they are from then you can ask the FHLibrarian for the microfilm for that town in Italy like births, deaths marriages etc and you can get information on the town and your relatives on the microfil but be prerpared to read old italian script and bring a spyglass with you.

Can the correct spelling be Chiucchiolo ? If yes, I have some info about 3 persons who Immigrated to the USA from Sant\'Arcangelo (potenza).

Try this SANT\'ARCANGELO TRIMONTE, province of Benevento (BN) region Campania, postal code 82021. There are 14 Chiuchiolo\'s, 4 Pagliuso\'s and one Lebruto listed in the phone directory (check at www.paginebianche.it). Good luck! Marco, Milano, Italy (\'til Christmas in Grand Rapids, MI)

I have to say that I asumed it was Sant\'Arcangelo in Potenza not knowing of Sant\'Arcangelo Trimonte in Benevento. Reading Marco\'s info I think this sounds much better then mine. Good work Marco!
