Chiappano Family information

Post by jamiestew »

Hello everyone,
I am so excited to find this website. I have been researching my family for over a year now, but to actually have so much knowledge about Italy at my fingertips is quite exciting. I have alot of information about my great grandpa..his paper trail is well documented. But I hit a dead end on my great grandma Laura Chiappano. She was Married to my great grandpa for many years they had four children Ernest, Alfred, Mario, and Gloria. His name was CArlo (Charles) Icardi. They lived in Alameda County California. He was born in Asti, Montegro Asti Italy in Jan. 1889. With all this info how come I can find more about her???

Hello,
I hope I am replying correctly, this is new to me. Thank-you all so much for help.
You have shown me more than I have been able to find in a year. Yes Valerie that is my work so far.
And yes that is the Census thank-you so much for the attachment.
I know my grandfather had a brother named Angelo...but Im not sure about Ernesto. Wow keep it coming this is great, I think I will be able to
fill in some wholes with this info. Thanks so, so much.
I did find my great, great grandma and grandpa Antonio Icardi, and Constantina Terrasco on Family search. I would love to keep going but I have hit a dead end there as well. Would it help to order Laura Icardis SS application, to find out exactly where in Italy she was from and when she married Carlo..or Charles as we knew him..

Hello!
Yes, you're doing great :D !
Finding Laura's manifest has been a real challenge.
Her SS Application may very well have her place of birth
(which could also help locate her manifest).
Do you know if they were married in Italy or CA?
Thanks!

Hello Valerie,
I dont know when or where they were married. That is where I begin to loose her. He was so easy and left paper trails everywhere. I do see that they had a son Edward that was on one census at the age of 1 1/2 and I know he died. I dont know how. Their son MArio had down syndrome and lived wuite a long time for a person with such a disability I think he was in his 50's when he passed away. I would be interested to know how Eddie died, any suggestions?? I think I will go ahead and order Lauras SS application. Is that what you suggest??

The SS Application can be pricey...
Maybe we can find that mainfest?

Perhaps ordering a few vital records from CA
may be less expensive?
CA Vital Records

If they were married in CA, you may be able to locate
the record in Alameda County or San Francisco.
It may have her parents names on it.

Hey Biff!
Nice manifest.

Hey Mike!
It appears the name Chiappano is pretty consistent
in the CA records.
Can't find a manifest or family in California, very odd.

Thanks Valarie
