Grandmother's Surname

Post by jdemart »

I am searching for my maternal grandmother's Italian Surname. My Grandfather was born in Spezzano Grande in Calabria. His surname is Barbieri. I know they were married in Italy before migrating to the US. My grandfather was a coal-miner in Eriton PA. My mother was born in Eriton in 1921, and her birth certificate references my grandmother as Martha Guilyard. Also, my grandmother's brother Jack was named Jack Guilyard.

I'm assuming my grandmother is from Spezzano or a small town nearby.

Dear suanj,
I can't tell you how grateful I am for you taking the time to help. I believe you identified my grandmother's brother Jack which leads me to my grandmother's town of birth. Thank you for all the war records and census data. I am very new at this. Joe

If you look on the marriage record Angela gave her consent for her daughter to get married here is her mother coming over from Italy
1910 shipmanifest Line 4 for Angela Perri age 50 coming from Amantea with daughter Ortenza Gagliardi age 13 which I believe is Martha and son Luigi Gagliardi age 11 leaving her brother Pasquale Perri in Amantea
I also believe that Carmela Gagliardi line# 7 is a relative
