I'm looking for info about the Frangipani family (Duchi di Mirabello) who lived in Campobasso between the 1800 and 1900. I have an old family tree made in 1867 where are mentioned only the men of the family. Thus, I need info about their wives and doughters. My GGF was FrancescoPaolo Frangipani, my GGGF was PietroAntonio Frangipani and my GGGGF was Francesco Saverio Frangipani (who was married with FrancescaSaveria Nocera). I'd like to know details about the ancient ladies of my family. Someone can help me?

Hi Jhon,
thank you very much for your detailed info. I showed your answer to my family and they are very excited to finally find out names and dates about the women of the family. Nobody was aware that our GGF (Francesco Paolo Frangipani) had a first marriage with Cornelia Rosa Ricciuti. The name of his second wife (our GGM) was Maria Antonietta Marinelli. They probably got married in 1888 because we found a poem wrote the 20th October 1888 for their marriage. We don't know the date of birth and the date of death of our GGM (Maria Antonietta Marinelli). Do you know these latter dates?
As you can see in the old family tree, our GGF had a brother named Giuseppe Frangipani (son of Pietro Antonio and Teresa Maria Antonia Marsico), we don't know anything about him and we don't know if they (Francesco Paolo and Giuseppe) had sisters. Do you have some info about Giuseppe and any sister?
Probably my GGF's brother (Giuseppe Frangipani) is the person who draw the family tree in 1867 (as you can see from the picture).
Thank you again for your help
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
I don't have Maria Antonietta Marinelli in my database. I do have several Marinelli families. Do you know the names of Maria Antonietta's parents? If so, I will check to see if I have them.
I don't have your GGF's brother Giuseppe in my database. I only have two siblings:

Francesca Saveria Frangipani, age 22, born in Campobasso, daughter of of Pietro Antonio Gaetano and Teresa Maria Antonia Marsico, and Antonio Grimaldi, age 24, born in Campobasso, son of Pasquale Andrea and Marianna Cristina Marsico, were married on 12 FEB 1882 in Campobasso, Campobasso, Molise, Regno d'Italia.

Note that the aforesaid Teresa Maria Antonia Marsico and Marianna Cristina Marsico were sisters, making the bride and groom first cousins!
I have one child in my database for Francesco Paolo Frangipani.

Hi John,
thank you again for the useful supplementary info.
About Maria Antonietta Marinelli (or simply Antonietta Marinelli), we just know the place of birth, that is Ripalimosani (in Campobasso Province). Her cousin was Maria Elisa Angiolina Marinelli (or simply Angelina Marinelli) born in Ripalimosani (26/01/1866), died in Naples (29/05/1927), doughter of Emilio Marinelli and Elena Wiedemann (or Wiedman), married with Olindo Incarnati, mother of Giovanni, Giuseppe, Edoardo and Cristina. Both Antonietta and Angelina are descendants of Nicola Marinelli born in Ripalimosani (31/01/1833) and probably died in Naples (24/02/1904).
From some old letter I found also other Marinelli names (of whom we don't know the degree of kinship): Achille Marinelli (from Formia), Luigi Marinelli (from Naples) and Corinna Marinelli (from Naples).
I have a couple of Marinelli families from Ripalimosani, but none that match your data. I also have some Marinelli families from other surrounding comuni, but none with any connection to Napoli.
Concerning Antonietta Marinelli (our GGM), I found supplementary info from an old family book:
- her mother's surname was Masciotta, because I find some letter from her cousins from Casacalenda Adelina Masciotta (who married Vincenzo Tata) and Angiolina Masciotta (who married Giuseppe De Gennaro) and Michele Masciotta.
- her sister was Letizia Marinelli married with Giuseppe De Nunno; their son Renato De Nunno was a decorated military Doctor of the first world war, who wrote a beatiful letter in memory of Mario Frangipani (our GF's brother and son of Francesco Paolo Frangipani) who died during the first world war.
- in some letter is also mentioned Achille Marinelli, that could had been her brother
these are all the info we can provide about the Antonietta's relatives
