Yes, that was the Adriano I found. No one in my family knows of a brother by that name. However, for Stephen Marchiano - no one knew that name either but he was living with the other Marchianos on an early NY census. No one in my family knows what happened to Stehen.

Hello,

I am hoping for some suggestions for the problem I am having trying to find the town my great grandmother came from. She was born in 1870 and emigrated to New York and was married in NYC in 1886. Neither the church nor the marriage record had any further information. I do have the ...

Hello,

Can anyone tell me what towns in Calabria have Saints Cosmos and Damian as their patron saints?

Thnk you,

Hello,

I just wanted to update you on some exciting discoveries I have made thanks to all of you.

I was looking for my Marchian and Liguori ancestors - one of whom married my great grandfather Vincenzo Caputo but I had no idea what Italian town they were from. Esperanza and a few others found ship ...

Hello Esperanza,

Vincenzo died of lobar pneumonia - I am still trying to figure out where - the death certificate says Workhouse hospital - the only thing I can find on the web was on an island that also had the Workhouse and a few other buildings - like a hospital for contagious diseases etc. I ...

Hello,

From an earlier post

"That said, Have you gotten their complete marriage record? Not just the certificate.......Marriage record includes the application to marry, the license, any affidavits, the certificate & the return. This record could have the town of birth for both, Mary Ann ...

Hello,

Thank you so much for all of the research you have done.

I never knew that any of Vincenzo's children had gone to Italy and now you have found 2 such trips. I can't imagine why my grandmother or her sister (2 of his children) never told me about them - they told me so many stories of my ...

Hello,

Thanks to everyone for looking up so much info. Yes those are the correct 1900 and 1910 census. I have the New York City marriage license for Vincenzo and Mary Ann as well as for 3 of Mary Ann's brothers but I only know the church where Vincenzo and Mary Ann were married (St Anthony's in ...

Hello,

I went to the regional federal archives last week and looked at that Stephen Marchiano as well as all the other Marchianos I could find but none of them were related.

Thanks,

Hello,

My family always said her name was Mary Ann. Her marriage license says Anna Maria and her death certificate says just Mary.

GS

Wow - Esperanza you are unbelievable!! - What incredible information. I can't thank you enough.

Could you tell me where you found that ship manifest for Giuseppe and Anna Maria Marchiano? On most records she is listed as Mary Ann but she is Anna Maria on at least one other record. I don't know if ...

Hello,

That is just incredible! I searched the Ellis Island website and never found that entry. This must be my great grandfather - he was a liquor dealer in NYC and those are his children's names and the right ages. . I knew that he made several trips to Italy for business but I never knew he took ...

Hello,

I am trying to find out which town my great grandmother Mary Ann Marchiano (born about 1870) came from. Her parents were Francesco or possibly Giuseppe Marchiano and Elena Liguori. They came to New York City in 1884 or 1885 along with MaryAnn’s 3 brothers Giuseppe, James and Stephen ...

Thank you so much for that website - it was very helpful.

Hello,

Sorry, I wasn't too clear - I meant is there any way to find out what the exchange rate would have been in 1897 and 1906

Thanks,
