Died 9 June 1949 Helper, Carbon, Utah

Married to Teresa Milano
born 22 June 1878 Forno di Rivara
Died ? don't know what happened to her

Possible children that came to US
Maria
Michele

Any information will be appreciated,

That is a great find Suanj

You are amazing!! to find an abstract record like this one!!
My friend will be posting a follow up shortly. She says its her Paulo Pesetto!!

Now we need to find the emigration record for his 2nd wife Barbara. I know you looked for it.
I also found a marriage record in Italy where Paulo Pescetto married Teresa Milano in 1897.
Then I also found a birth record for a child born in Forno di Rivara in 1898.

I also checked for a birth record for the Barbara in Forno di Rivara and did not see that maiden name present in the birth records. I have most of the Forno di Rivara parish records and all of them in the time period of her birth.

Then you posted on his emigration record that he was married at the time he came two USA.

A naturalization record on Paulo Pecetto would be helpful as well.

Thanks a million,

I cannot find the Barbara arrival.. I found just a Maria Carrera coming from Pratiglione ([very close to Forno Canavese ( Forno di Rivara until 1926)] with 2 children: Maria Carrera 4 old and Michele Carrera 2 old, all joining at husband/father in Castle Gate, UT

First Name: Michele
Last Name: Carrera
Ethnicity: Italy, Italian
Last Place of Residence: Fratiglione
Date of Arrival: Dec 15, 1901
Age at Arrival: 2 Gender: M Marital Status: S
Ship of Travel: La Bretagne
Port of Departure: Havre
Manifest Line Number: 0019

http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0019

It could be possible that her first name was Maria and used Barbara in USA? It could be possible that she was married, and widowed remarried at Paul Pessetto (Paolo Pescetto)?

Thanks again for all of your research and hard work!

What is interesting here and the time line


15 July 1876 birth date for Giovanni Paolo Pezze
22 June 1898 Birth Date for Teresa Milano at Forno di Rivara
17 April 1897 Marriage date in Forno di Rivara to Teresa Milano of Forno. His surname name is recorded as Pesetto when he got married.
16 Aug 1898 Teresa Milano gives birth to a Domenica Antonia Pesetto
20 March 1899 Giovanni Paolo Pesetto emigrates to the USA to Utah as a married man.

11 June 1908 Giovanni Paolo married Barbara Carerra in Helper,Carbon, Utah
Barbara Carrera born 1877 Italy ( I did not find her in the Forno di Rivara parish records)

The children listed as Pesetto Children on the census records are children that are believed to be Barbara Carerra's.
Some of them I found on Family Search, have birth dates and Birth places in Forno Canavese aka Forno di Rivara. Then when I checked the Parish birth records, I did not find the children in the birth registers.
These children were born before the 11 June 1908 marriage record
The children are as follows:
1897 Mary Carerra Born in Italy died 1909 Helper, Utah
2 June 1899 Michael Carerra Born in Italy died 10 Jan 1922 in Helper, Utah
6 March 1904 Domenica Carrera birth recorded in Helper, Utah
10 Nov 1906 Peter Paul Carrera born in Helper, Utah died 10 June 1936

I believe that the children Mary, Michael ( both born in Italy) were born with their mother's maiden name or who ever her husband's name was in Italy.
Then Domenica and Peter Paul, born in Utah also had a different surname than the Pesetto, because all of these children were born before the 1908 marriage date.

I have asked my friend L. to find the birth certificates of Domenica and Peter Paul Carrera, because it may shed more light on who the actual father is.\
Also, the actual marriage record of 1908 will be interesting to see.

After the marriage in 1908 all of the children took on the Pesetto surname.
Then two more children were born. ( source from Family Search) but have not been verfied with birth records.
26 Nov 1910 Mary Pesetto died 6 May 2003 Helper, Utah
Margarita 1913 Died 1915

Trevisan, by your reply:
The children are as follows:
1897 Mary Carerra Born in Italy died 1909 Helper, Utah
2 June 1899 Michael Carerra Born in Italy died 10 Jan 1922 in Helper, Utah

6 March 1904 Domenica Carrera birth recorded in Helper, Utah
10 Nov 1906 Peter Paul Carrera born in Helper, Utah died 10 June 1936
I believe that Mary and Michael born in Italy, they was not the Paul children.. I am pretty sure now that the ship's manifest of Michele Carrera , his sister Maria and the mother Maria Carrera (I know not if the Carrera was her maiden name or married surname) are right persons...

because I made a true deep search and no a Barbara Carrera emigrated... as a well no a Teresa Milano emigrated...
by civil records of Forno di Rivara aka Forno Canavese, you found Michele Pescetto birth on 2 jun1899..????

I believe no.. but I believe that you can find a Michele Carrera born in Pratiglione on 2 jun 1899 as a well a Maria Carrera born in Pratiglione on 1897..
I am pretty sure that Barbara Carrera was Maria Carrera really, and she had 2 children from previous husband, the age matching... so much coincidences: the children age, the final destination on the ship's manifest, the same final destination of Paolo Pescetto ( right italian name)... the fact that Mary and Michael are no in birth or baptism registries of Forno... the evidence that no a Barbara Carrera or a Michele Pescetto, Maria Pescetto, Teresa Milano.. never emigrated... I searched also in 1910 census of Utah and no a Michele Carrera or Maria Carrera... so they becoming Micke Pessetto( Pescetto) and Mary Pessetto( Pescetto;decesead)
I believe that my idea is right...: Barbara Carrera was Maria Carrera( maiden name or married surname)... and the 2 oldest children was born in Pratiglione from her first marriage...
just my opinion,
regards,
suanj

Your so great Suanj !!

I did find the birth record for Michele born on 2 June 1899 in the Forno di Rivara parish records.
Posted here on Family Search under memories.

I did not find the birth record for Mary Carera in 1877. I looked two years before and after the date.

The birth record for Teresa Milano is also posted on Family Search and her marriage record to Giovanni Paolo Pesetto

https://familysearch.org/tree/#view=anc ... n=M6KX-R5V

I will try to post it via Image Shack.

What is most interesting is that the record Does not name the father and that Barbara Carera is un married. Her birth place is listed as Pratiglione as you predicted.

Then the Godparents are listed as follows;
Padrino: Pesetto Domenico fu Michele
Madrina Pesetto Maria fu Michele

Then the Baptism was done by Domenico Pescetto fu Michele da Forno di Rivara.

I was in Forno di Rivara and Pratiglione a week ago!! I photographed 18,000 pages of parish documents in that area. This is how I can look up the parish birth records on my computer!!

I don't have the parish records of Pratiglione, Torino, Italy, but will be back up in that area in the future for other research.

I will continue to look for the birth record of Maria Carera.

If you have access to Family Search, I also have the birth and marriage record for Teresa Milano married to Giovanni Pietro Pescetto on that site.
Thanks a million again.

Hi Trevisan, happy of help you.. I am a bit confused abt Paolo Pescetto ( that I found)- Giovanni Pietro Pessetto (on your previous post, maybe you mean Gio Paolo Pescetto) and Gio Paolo Pezzé ( on the genealogic tree by familysearch)...
you mean that:
Gio Paolo Pezzè married at Teresa Milano is Paolo Pescetto aka Paul Pessetto? where ou found Pezzé surname...?
By death record:
Paul R. Pessetto, "Utah Death Certificates, 1904-1956"

the his parent's names are the same that you found on his birth act?
Because I am pretty sure that his italian name was Paolo (or Gio Paolo) Pescetto and no Pezzé....
abt Maria Carrera (aka Barbara Carrera in USA) I believe that you must search her birth act around 1873... because she was 28 old in 1901...

Your right, there is only a Gio or Giovanni Paolo Pesetto, born Pezze in Forno di Rivara

I checked again and can't find the Birth Record for Maria Carera. I only have the birth records up to 1899.

I hope I got the pictures and links in the right order.

His Godparents
Godfather Domenico Pesetto of the deceased Michele ( Gio Paolo Pesetto's brother)
Godmother Maria Pesetto of the deceased Michele ( Gio Paolo Pesetto's sister)
The baptism of Michele Carera was performed by his Uncle Michele Pesetto according to the birth/baptism record.

What remains to be verified now is the marriage record in Helper, Utah between Giovanni Paulo Pesetto and Barbara Carera . I have seen a 11 June 1908 date.
But there are two more children that were born in Helper, before she got married.

7 Oct 1904 John Pesetto Jr. Heiner, Carbon, Utah, United States
30 Nov 1906 Peter Paul Pesetto. Heiner, Carbon, Utah, United States

What is interesting about the Pezzé vs Pesetto or Pesetto is that in all of the parish records at Forno di Rivara, before say 1870's to the 1550's the surname is written Pezzé.
Then around the late 1800's The Pesetto name switched over and Pezzé is not used anymore. I asked why the change on my recent visit to the area and that is what they all say.

I can also say that I have la copy of all of the Canischio Parish records, all of them including several very important 1800 census books that are 4 inches thick. 9000 pages.
I am still doing research on this family and have not verified all of the dates. I am just now going through the database!!
