Her siblings: Joseph, John Teresa, Louise, another brother, possibly named Michael. Another sister named Eleanora did not come to Italy with Carmela and her siblings but stayed in Italy and married. Eventually one of her children Ermina did come to the US and married into the Tedesco family.
Any help is appreciated and thanks.
Hi there,
I went and searched the Philadelphia Marriage Index for you.
Nicola Miceli married Carmela Fortunato in Philadelphia, PA in 1890.
The marriage license #35946. The microfilm #1299855
What you do, is go to your nearest Family History Center, and rent the microfilm #1299855 for $3.50. When it the film comes in, scroll to the license #35946 and there should be the marriage license and marriage application. Copies range anywhere from 35cents to 50 cents.
This is much cheaper than trying to get a certificate from the City of Philadelphia.
Also, the other Miceli people in the list were the following:
Eleanora Miceli married Battafarano in 1913
Leonard Miceli married Battafarano in 1916
Rosina Miceli married Furgiuele in 1914
Teresina Miceli married McCaria in 1895
There are too many Fortunato's to list. I hope this is of some help
Smile!:)
