My family name is Cheroti but my grandfather was killed in jail and so my best link is his brother my great uncle and he says that are name used to be cerrutti but it was changed or something my family is from chicago though and he is actually in italy right know. My uncle says that we are from a town called piano in campania near Napoli and Salerno. Anyone that has any information of what might have happened or anything else tell me thx.

hi, Cerruti is tipical of Italy north, no south ... if you write some other detail, as first name is better for help you.. also are various Piano or Piana in Campania province, all hamleth, with exception of Piano di Sorrento near Napoli and Salerno.... the surname spelling could be CERRATO very common in this area... also are alternate spelling CERRUTO.
regards, suanj

I am sure that it is the town piano di sorrento, I have to ask my uncle about his grandparents and what were their names because it has my grandparents death records but goes nothing beyond that about any of their parents. I just want to know why it changed from Cerruti to what it is know.

My great grandfathers name was peter cheroti, and my grapfathers name was Robert Cheroti and My Uncles name is Peter Cheroti jr. but which name is more common in the napoli area, cerrutti or cerruti?

wldspirit · Post by **wldspirit** » 27 Aug 2006, 21:37

Cerruti is the more common spelling, to see for yourself,
place the surname in cognome on the left of the screen and click on the arrow at the following site, http://www.gens.labo.net/
it will show the distribution of the surname on a map of Italy......

Yeah that is him, my family is from chicago. I just dont know the name of his parents. If I had those maybe i could trace more back. So cerruti is probably what it was?

wldspirit · Post by **wldspirit** » 28 Aug 2006, 02:50

Need to place the family on a census, which will provide naturalization info and immigration info.......locating a ship manifest may provide other relatives names.......

Can you provide the names of the other children in the family, besides Peter Jr. and also the wife's name?

As for the name, that is based on the spelling you provided....need to check the spelling provided by Suanj as well....along with a manifest!!

Sorry bout that.....one of which is duplicate info...something is missing here but can't quite put my finger on it.....lack of sleep.....

Those records are true because robert my grandfather died back then and everything and my great grandfather died in that area.

wldspirit · Post by **wldspirit** » 28 Aug 2006, 13:18

Given the limited info and input.......based on these records.....file for a birth certificate for family members that you know of, and death certificates...skip the Soc Sec app for now.......the birth/death certificates will provide the info you need to work your way backwards.......

also here is a handy outline for genealogy research......

Sorry for the limited input i work full time. I still dont know what the name was before cheroti. Thank you I am just pretty tired because i do manual labor .

jcsm400 · Post by **jcsm400** » 30 Aug 2006, 08:27

Sorry, can't answer your question.....Perhaps by tracing the family or talking to other family members, you'll get the answer.

Here is some possiblities as to what the name could have been.

By input I mean to say we need further details, as much as you can provide:

full names
spouse name
birthdates
childrens names
birthdates
where can we expect to find them and when.

We need to start with Peter and work backwards if we are to discover his parents, immigration and naturalization, both of which may turn up the ORIGINAL surname......

Peter was born in Chicago in 1912.....when did he move to California?
Did he have brothers or sisters? Do you know the names of the parents?
Your grandfather was killed in jail.......his name? His brothers name? His wifes name?
Did Peters mother remarry?.........By providing this info we can find and identify the family thru source records......without it, we are but guessing.

we are here to help....
