Wow...I just read through all the posts, and it is great that all you cousins have found each other!! I have just recently emailed with Mary Elia. I was wondering if any of you have Lorenzo Elia's (the one born in 1841) siblings recorded? My ggg-grandmother was Rosa Elia, born in Alanno, married to ...

He's very popular in Eastern Canada and Europe.
I suspect he's related to the Pacentro Ciccones (Madonna) or my branch from Carrufo but can find nothing on his parents!

Does anyone know the genealogy of the Canadian Singer Nicola Ciccone?

I've prepared a pdf file showing your Elia's back to the mid 1700's. Send me your email address if you want a copy.

Lorenzo Elia was born in Alanno on 29 May 1841 record #59 to Pasquale Elia age 40 and Carmela Buccini age 35

Addalorata Manaceli was born in Alanno on 16 October 1839 to Giovannangelo Manaceli age 26 and Candita Rosa ?

Records are difficult to read but once I find a marriage record it will help.

Lorenzo Elia age 25 and Addalorata Manacelli age 26 were married in Alanno, Pescara on 17 July 1866 (record #10)

they had the following children, all born in Alanno

Antonio 21 May 1867 record #71
Rosario 16 December 1869 record #118
Antonio 12 March 1871 record #98
Pierino 15 January 1874 record ...

I have a lot of the Alanno films at my local FHC. I'll have a look when I am there next week.

Did you find any more information? Serafino probably died in Ofena abt 1915.
Ida was an orphan. Son Guido was born in 1914 in Ofena.

Hope you had a good trip. If you need any information on your relatives visit my website www.carrufo.ca or send me an email blciccone@shaw.ca
