Having recently returned from our family reunion I was given information from the family bible I did not know existed. My great grand mother DiLallo was at one time a "Ricci" and an "Addario". I am not positive on either of the spellings for either name but I am using the spellings I have found on documents so I am hoping they are correct. We do not know if Ricci is the maiden name and Addario is a married name from a "first" marriage before she married my great grand father Antonio DiLallo or it is the other way around. We have also learned they located in New Mexico. We do not know if they stayed there or returned to Mass. where the rest of the family was.

We also have learned that it could be possible the Iezzi ancestry in my family is also a "first" marriage for Angela Mancini and if so, we have absolutely no idea what her maiden name was. We do know that on August 8, 1898 my grand mother Nicoletta was born. If Iezzi is the 1st husbands name then my grand mother Nicoletta would have been named Nicoletta Iezzi. It is said she was born in Turri, we have no idea. We now have her birth date, which I did not have prior to our family reunion.

I am hoping her birth date could be helpful in locating any information about her, using either birth name, Nicoletta Iezzi or Nicoletta Mancini....some where either in Turri, Lettmanoppello, Cheti, we do not know for sure, for sure Abruzzo area....this much we know but how many towns is that? Still sketchy but now with SOME facts....hopefully this will lead us to something with real names for her mothers side of the family.

Thanks so much Marty. There was no "prompt" to click on but there was an e-mail address. I wrote a letter and also had it translated to Italian and sent both as attachments to the e-mail address provided. I did tell them I am willing to pay for the information requested, which was proof of any part of my family. What should I expect to pay for records (per record I would imagine) I have requested? I just want to know what to expect.

Thanks again Marty for your help, I will let you know if I get a response to my e-mail and of course any information they are able to provide.

Unfortunately Marty the e-mail address I was able to locate on the page you referred me to is inactive and can't accept new mail.....bummer! I really thought I had found my link to my heritage...but sadly I am mistaken. Hopefully something will turn up, until then I am again without knowledge or any way of finding it.
