I believe Maria Fratelli's birth place is the comune of Pantelleria, province of Trapani.

Hi Biff.... We're right!

Yes Bevilacaqua is another name I have been searching for trying to figure out the connection. This is fantastic how much you have found for me. I have also two relatives Sam and Sebsastian that are buried in Avon, Ohio Holy Trinty cemt on Detroit Road I believe they may be my grandfather Fred J. Mingoia Sr. grandparents.

Probably Sam & Sebastiana from this 1920 census

Sebastiana's Death Certificate


- Question, is this the correct Fred J Mingoia Sr?
- Parents would have been?

Thanks!

At the bottom of Joseph Mingoia's Death certificate is Mary Massa's name that is my grandfather's sister. She used to live in Mayfield Heights, Cleveland we visted her monthly. I have a cousin name Chris that used to meet me over at her house.

Yes that is my grandfather! He has Fred Joseph Mingoia Jr., Joseph Andrew Mingoia (deceased), and Jeri Jofredi as children. His sister was Auntie Mary from Mayfield.

You found a card for Joseph for World War I. I have a picture of a solider in Uniform can you tell if it is from WWI?

[kleocatra]

I called my mother and she said that there was a Step father and Costa was a last name. Charolotte Costa was my mother play mate and had Johnny, Joey (died at the age of 30), and Angie was the oldest. Their mother was they called her Auntie Mary Costa and her husbands name was Anthony.

This is my Grandmother! Im looking for family history as well and googled a few things and came across this. Crazy!

Guiseppe Mingoia (son of Alfonzo Mingoia and Maria Fratelli )came over in 1911 to Philadelphia to meet with his brother who lived in Cleveland, Ohio.
