Forno family in Piedmont Italy
Forno family in Piedmont Italy
My grandmother, Goldie Forno was born in Piedmont Italy on 01/11/1897. Her father's name was Ermegildo Forno, and her mother was Effisia - but we do not know her maiden name. Does anyone have access to the records that could provide more information on Goldie. We only know her as Goldie, yet it might be a nickname?

There are two matches for Ermenegildo Forno

Re: Forno family in Piedmont Italy
Outstanding! Could you check for any birth records for the daughter Goldie? Again, I think that will be a nickname. She was born on 01/11/1897 to Ermegildo and Effisia Forno.

Re: Forno family in Piedmont Italy
Efisia Quilico aged 29 arrived at Ellis Island in 1903 to join husband Ermenegildo Forno. With her there were three children Guglielmina, aged 6 (thus born in 1897)Lucia aged 4, Pietro aged 2. There were registered under the surname Quilico, but there is no doubt that they were the children of Ermenegildo
This is the link to the original manifest
http://www.ellisisland.org/search/shipM ... 2679110226
Italian woman always kept they maiden surname even after their marriage. When they traveled with their children often immigration clerks registered them with the same surname of the mother,
So I think your grandmother Goldie Forno was in fact named Guglielmina.
This is the current italian spelling of the name, feminine of Guglielmo "William". In the manifest it was misspelled "Gulgliemina"

Re: Forno family in Piedmont Italy
Thanks Marty!
And for mjc: with the parents' name and the date of birth you can send a letter to the comune of Villadeati asking for the birth certificate (estratto dell'atto di nascita) of Goldie/Guglielmina
