The Marriage record has finally arrived!!! This has helped me confirm some names, unfortunately the birth place of my Great Grandfather is only listed as "Italy." :(

So, that does not help to determine if it was Salerno Province or the City of Salerno :(

What is has told me is the following information.

Married on September 25, 1913 (which we already knew)
Giovanni was Widowed

Giovanni Ronca's parents were:
Carmine Ronca, Father
Domenica Stanzione, Mother

Angela Maria Zupa's parents were:
Antonio Zupa, Father (Which we already knew)
Pilomena Tommasula, Mother

I also believe that one of the witnesses to the marriage is maybe a sister of Philomena. One of the witnesses to the marriage was Angela Maria Tommasula.

I'm guessing "Angela Maria" must have been given to my Great Grandmother to pay respect somehow. Could it be possible that Angela Maria Tommasula is a Grandparent?

Can anyone use this information to help me find out more information about my family?

Does anyone have any ideas for another way that I could pinpoint where my great grandfather came from?

As I mentioned, the marriage record only helped me get to learn Italy, LOL! Which is less than we learned from other documents.

Thanks for your help everyone :D
