My great-grandmother was Rosaria DiVito. I believe she was from Sant angelo dei Lombardi, Naples. She married Francesantonino Cetta. Her father was Pietro DiVito and her mother was Anonia DiSanto. I do not know if my family and yours are related, but would love to hear bout your family to see if ...

My great-grandmother was Rosaria DiVito. Her father was Pietro DiVito and her mother was Antonia DiSanto. They lived in Via San Vito.

She had my grandmother: Anne Cetta. Anne's father was Francesantonio Cetta. she lived in Sant' Angelo dei Lombardi, Naples. If anyone has information regarding my ...

micbri: my grandmother was Antonina DiGirolamo. Her family was from Gibellina Sicily. Her father was Pasquale DiGirolamo and her mother was Caterina Pace, I believe also from the same area.

Antonina had three sisters: Lena , Mary and I am not sure of the others names. She married Salvatore ...

Jodilee: I noticed you are also searching for "Derogatis." My grandfather was Salvatore DeRogatis. He was from Avellino, Teora Naples Italy. His father's name was Leopoldo DeRogatis. I think his mother's name was Katherine..I don't know her maiden name. Salvatore may have had a brother named ...

Thank you, I'll give it a shot again.

I would be interested to hear from those out there who may know of these families in Naples. It sure is a small world, isn't it? I am finding out that Cetta and DiVito are very common in that area.

Thank you for responding. Yes, I wrote to them, in Italian, twice in the past couple of years and heard nothing. I am unable to visit the local family history centers as I don't have transportation. I tried what I knew to access what I can online, but appears to be a dead end.

I am looking for information on my grandmother Anne Cetta born: 27 July 1888 in Sant Angelo dei Lombardi, Naples. Parents: Francesco Cetta & Rosarita DiVito (or DeVito). Anne's father came to the US 1908 and was murdered in Canada near the US border. Her mother never came to the US. I beleive Anne ...

Peter, thank you. I actually thought the ost about Ricbru was from you. I will research the military as you suggested.

I have not tried Ricbru. How do I find that?

I asked my mom about Antonina DiGirolomo and she said she may have been from Palermo or Calabria. Please bear in mind, my mother is 88 and gives me things in stages. She remembers at times. By the way, I agree it is DiGirolomo too.

Peter, it is DiGirolomo. I know the spelling has probably changed over the years. I have found it in family records as; DiGirolamo with the A rather than the O, so I am not clear on wht it really is to be. Antonina and Salvatore married 1900, so I do not know if she would have traveled with her ...

Slowly, but surely the pieces are coming together except for finding the ship manifest for grandparents; Salvatore and Antonina (DiGirolomo form Gibellina Siicily in or around January 1900. They immigrated to Louisiana, so the story goes. I do not beleive they came through Ellis Island. Did they all ...

Thank you so much. This researching is truly an educating experience. I believe she was from Gibellina, Sicily Italy. At least I have something to go by.

Now that I have found her; my grandfather's grandmother, I'm sure it will be a real task to find her records.

very good point. It just may be Patti as the last name. Thak you, that will take me in a different direction.

I thought Pasquale was a mans name? Is there a female version?

I have just found records that one of my Italian ancestors was named, Patti Nicolina. What would the name "Patti" be short for? It seemed a little unusual to see that written on a death certificate from 1898. Thanks
