Looking Giovanni Bapeiste Capaldi family from Picinisco

Post by DianaFulkes »

Hi All,
I am in desperate need of help.
I am looking into my brother in law's family, do not know a thing about italian family history.
I have been told Giovanni and his brother left Picinisco for America in search of Gold, Giovanni lost a leg in a accident. He did not like America left for England, his brother stayed in America.
Giovanni landed up in Newcastle Tyne and Wear, went up to Scotland met Agnes Dougan married her went back to Newcastle had 2 children, Went back to Glasgow Scotland had 4 more children all Boys. he opened a shop and started Capaldi's icecream. during the war he was sent to the Isle of Man where he died, before 1948.
Children:
Peter D Capaldi born 1920 Newcastle,
Giovanni B capaldi born 1921 died 1926 Newcastle
Agostine born Glasgow
Gerry born Glasgow
I cannot remember the other 2 sons.
If this helps Jim Capaldi the singer is related and Peter capaldi the actor is his grandson, any information would be most welcome to get me started.

Please check my web site www.capaldi-clan.com in which I detail how I have searched successfully for my ancestors from Picinisco.

You will have to go also to the scotlands people web site to obtain details of the births mentioned above.

However I do list all the best sites to search for data including the LDS files

Diana, you most definitely need to talk with forum member jamiecapaldi who has been intensively researching the British Capaldi's for some time now, including an uncle and his wife who was a brother of singer Jim Capaldi's father. See http://italiangenealogy.com/Forums/view ... paldi.html

Yes you can accomplish a lot on line however on the scotlandpeople search you cannot access some more recent records.

As Johnny notes, make contact with Jamie however the majority of his Capaldi family are from San Michele

Also it is imperative that you find the exact location that they came from.

In my search the capaldi families who came to the UK, especially Scotland originate from 3 distinct areas

Cassino frazione of San Michele
Picinisco frazione of San Giuseppe
Filignano frazione of Selvone

Also keep in touch with this forum as there are always contributors who can assist.

Hi Stuart,
Thank you sooo much for the info.
I dont think it is the right Capaldi marriage as Giovanni and his brother went to California in search of gold, Giovanni did not like it there so he came to England alone first setteling in Whitley bay Tyne and Wear, It appears he then up to Scotland met Agnes, and they went back to Whitley bay. They had their first son Peter D march quarter 1920 Giovanni B Dec 1921 he died 1926 still in Whitley bay. I know the other children were born in Glasgow. Giovanni had a shop and started Capaldi's Icecream it was his Mothers recipe he used, So i ask did they make Icecream in Picinisco ?? when war broke out he was sent to the Isle of Man where he died

He married Agnes on the 20th February, 1913, 8 East John Street, Glasgow.
His Father was called Sabatino (farmer but Deceased) and Mother Nicolina Faccenda.
They had the following Children:

DOMENICA CAPALDI
MARIA CAPALDI
GIOVANNI CAPALDI
ANTONIO CAPALDI
FILLIPO CAPALDI
BENEDETTA CAPALDI
GIULIANA CAPALDI
MARIA FORTUNATA CAPALDI

Sabatino's Father was Giuseppe.

They were from Picinisco area and probably most likely related to Peter Capaldi the actor. Stuart Capaldi would be your best bet, at 'capaldi-clan.com', he has done excellent work. His Family are from that region. My family are from the Cassino region, where Jim Capaldi's are from.

Jamie

Thanks for that clarification and details.

Diana

You have mentioned in one of your previous posts that Giovanni Capaldi married an Agnes Dougan.

It would be highly unlikely that there were two marriages identical to this one.

So we must go on these records and your verbal account which match.

Please note, as we have all experienced, verbal anecdotal evidence handed down from generation to generation can become distorted. Only by finding the records can you piece together your family history and as you delve into the archives you will no doubt be able to separate the myths from the facts.

Thats what makes it so fascinating

Hi All,
Thank you so much for all your help so far.

Does anyone know anything about the Italians who were sent to the Isle of Man when war broke out ?/ as it has been told that Giovanni Capaldi died there.
Si
