Petrino (possible brother)?

[frankdamore]

Hey everyone,

I received a letter from one of our local churches here in Buffalo, after asking for information on my great-grandparents.

What I know:

My great-grandmother was Agnes Petrino (daughter of Pasquale Petrino and Frances DiGiacomo). I have her birth record from Buffalo, NY as well as the 1910 census that shows Pasquale. I am uncertain on his death, however, it would have to have been before 1915 as Frances shows as widowed. The Agnes of the first page of the letter is NOT my great-grandma though, FYI.

What I do not know:

Is there a way to see if Pasquale had a brother named Joseph/Giuseppe? The church sent me a letter of what they found and I've been trying to see if there is any relation between Joseph (abt 1864) and Pasquale (abt 1860). I have seen the birthplace on two different records showing San Fele, Basilicata.

I have a feeling they are related because before my aunt passed, she spoke of Corretores and that was the maiden name of one of Joseph's wives. I've searched for birth records for Pasquale and Joseph in Italy and haven't had much success (trying to link parents). Also searched for marriage records for Pasquales and F DiGiacomo. I do know that Josephs parents (per the attached letter) are Francesco Petrino and Angela Mangione.

I'm close, but if anyone could close the gap...it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I checked the birth records for 1860 in San Fele, but did not find Pasquale or Giuseppe...

However, I did find a Giuseppe in 1859, born to Francesco Petrino, 42, and to Margarita Mangione, 42.
Birth took place on 10 December 1859 at their home in Strada Fornello.

And a Pasquale (about 4-5 years older - which agrees with your post) ALSO born to Francesco Petrino and Margarita Mangione... in 1854.
#169 in San Fele
Appearing at the town office was Francesco Petrino, age 37 [son of Pietro] residing in San Fele, to present a male child who he declared was born to his wife, Margarita Mangione, 36, residing with her husband.
The child was born on 13 May 1854 at the home of the couple in Fornello.

***
This marriage act confirms the names of Pasquale's parents - and his approximate year of birth (about 1854-55) making the birth record I posted above the correct one This also confirms that the Giuseppe Petrino born in 1859 above is Pasquale's brother!

I cannot begin to THANK YOU enough for finding these! What a great discovery! With the towns, I hope that I can trace even further back now.

MUCH APPRECIATED!

Happy to help!

Based on Pasquale's birth act, you know that his grandfather was Pietro

Res-erecting this old thread, please.

The birth records on antenati (for San Fele) stop at 1860. I was hoping to find the actual birth record for Maria Francesca DiGiacomo. On her death note, it shows her DOB as 5-9-1861. I am looking on Familysearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1 ... cc=1483052) trying to search by date.

What I am trying to uncover is what her mother's maiden name was. As the above, we see Maria Agnese, but no maiden name. There is another Agnese close by in my tree with the last name Genovese.

I have a feeling that may be her mother (married to Pasquale). If that is the case, Maria Francesca DiGiacomo had a brother named Sebastian.

Any tips on how I might be able to either prove that or find the maiden name?

Thank you.

It looks likek she was born 1860. There is a Maria Francesca Giacomo born to Pasquale Giacomo and Maria Agnesa Genovese 9 May 1860 at No 158: http://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.i ... ewsIndex=0


Edit to Add: Here is the Birth Record: http://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.i ... 8.jpg.html

Born and baptised on 9 May 1860, Strada Santa Lucia, to parents Pasquale di Giacomo, son of the declarant (Francesca Pelosi, 50, contadina, daughter of Michele), 29 yo, contadino and Maria Agnese Genovese.

Here is the birth act. I believe you have found the correct one.
Father: Pasquale di Giacomo
Mother: Maria Agnese Genovese

In this record, the declarant is Francesca Pelosi, 50. Pasquale di Giacomo is identified as her son, age 29.
Francesca Pelosi (her maiden name) is identified as the daughter of deceased Michele [Pelosi]

Thanks for the help. I should have known better to look at 1860. It seems the years are usually +/- 1 on the records in the states.

I appreciate you both replying. That unlocked a bunch of more info for me.

Have a nice weekend.

Happy to help. Somehow Tessa and I must have posted at the same time. I did check that no one else had posted and have just noticed this now after adding my translating. Sorry for the double-up.
