Re: Searching for My Family

Biff83: The ship manifest you furnished me was much more than a possibility. It solved the puzzle! This is my great grandmother and her son Antonio... my grandfather. How did you find it so quickly after my post?

Re: Searching for My Family

I received my grandparents translated (Latin) wedding registration from Denver today. It says my grandfather, Antonio Porreco was the son of Pantaleone and Aloysia Fante . I have to say I am confused. I anticipated the surname De Lillo or Di Lillo. On their first child’s baptismal record it shows ...

Re: Re: Searching for My Family

John: Thank you for this information on my future Fantacone search. I do know my grandmother's family was from Campobasso. As I understand the lay of the land, Mirabello Sannitico is a part of Campobasso. What database are you using?

Appreciate your input!

jcsm400 & suanj:

I located the church my grandparents (Antonio Porreco & Maria Fantacone) were married. The marriage certificate is written in Latin. The Pastor is going to translate in English and mail them both to me in a couple days. Perserverance pays off!

Re: Re: Searching for My Family

jcsm400: The marriage was performed by a Catholic Priest. The Marriage Record doesn't indicate a church, but there is no doubt in my mind yhat there was one. I will check for the sacramental record at the church nearest to the address of their census record. I wrote to Torriglia on Monday of this we...

So,...

jcsm: The death certificate doesn't have town of birth information nor his parents' names on it. Just my grandmother info.
