Hi again..Sorry for delay, getting ready to travel tomorrow so I have been really busy with last minute things...I found your Idaho Luporinis on Ancestry.com and have several pieces of information on them for you ( death notices, one for a 1 day old infant and a WWI draft registration) will post ...

My husband is from the Bay area as were all of the Mecchis/Luporinis he is related to. Some still live there. His grandmother was Rose Luporini and she and her brother Achille Benedetto Luporini were born in Nevada. They moved to the Bay area. She married Peter Mecchi, who was my husband's ...

My husband's grandmother was named Luporini and most of his family were from the Lucca Region . Would love to share information with you and see if we have a common ancestor. Please get back to me. Islandgal

Thanks, Peter. That is most of what I had. I will find the rest tonight and post it. By the way, Peter, I am following the Luporini line on angelfire, too, ( as you suggested) but not meeting with much success....only finding what little I already had from Ancestry, but thanks for the link, which I ...

Oh, I do have some information on the surname. I will dig it out and post it for you asap.

Wow, glad to meet you ! My husband is the grandson of Peter Mecchi & Rose Luporini. His father was Kenneth I. Mecchi. I am assuming you live in California. We are in South Carolina, but several other Mecchi first cousins live in CA. still. I would love to compare notes with you and talk more ...

From Ancestry.com:
Maria Maddalena Mantegani, death certificate

Hope this helps Islandgal

Glad I could help...I'm pretty new at this myself, but I taught school for +27 years and can't stop myself from helping others ! LOL Good luck with your searching. Islandgal

It says she died in June of 1915 in the Southwark District of Greater London ( the district is according to the 1901 Onw- may be another name by now. I'm in the US so you'll have to look for maps there) It is in Volume 1d of the England and Wales FreeBMD index. I got it from Ancestry.com, but there ...

Wattsy...I found a Filomena DiTroia in the New England and Wales FreeBMD index who was born in 1857 and died in 1915. Would this be your family ?

Thank you again ,Suanj. I was having computer trouble last night and couldn't get on the internet so I haven't gone far looking for Luigi or Christina Luporini. I do know, however, that many of our other realtives came from Lucca too, so the connection continues to the Mecchis, who I have back to ...

Thank you for your reply, Suanj. I have no record of a Christina among her children. I have Rose, Joseph,Obidence,Achille,and Armeda. I will look into Christina, but so far I have Rose & Joseph born in Nevada, USA and all the others in California, USA. christina could have been earlier and not lived ...

Thank you , Peter. I will look into wildfire as suggested. The information I have is from Ancestry, I am a member. I am, however , an amateur and other than the names of her children, the information I gave is all I have been able to find. I have also looked on findagrave.com and through all the ...

Hi ! I have an ancestor I can't find much for, including her husband's name ! Not sure of province but most likely Lucca or Bari. Her married name is Vetaline or Vitaline Luporini and she came to the US in 1880. Don't know if she was married then. I have her widowed in 1900 in San Francisco with ...

yes, about or around (as in abt 1814) means what it looks like and using it in searches can really help sometimes !
