thanks all. I now have to start looking for info on Lawrence Rotunno. Maybe I cab find more italian parental info on that side.

I cannot find on ancestry the 1898 arrival on the EMS. I tried steve morse. I tried dom., pasquale, rotunno on EMS and cannot pull the info.

would it be safe to say that ...

What is the american version of Lorenzo? I haven't seen that name in my searching. Achille, Luigi and salvatore yes, but never Lorenzo...

looking for info on M Domenica Pecoraro/pecorra born 1877, parents are antonio pecoraro/pecorra and anna??? as stated on funeral records.

she was married in italy to domenic rotunno b. 1875, parents were pietro rotunno and miguel???? perrotta, again taken from funeral records. I have the USA ...

looking for pasquale ruffo/rufo born december 1882. I have Nat. papers that show the town of Castellnuovo Al. Volturno as place of birth. I am still missing a death date in USA?. I believe that he may have had a sister Maria that he went to visit in 1890 and she was married and lived in Warren, OH ...

The rotunnos were much easier since they seem to have stayed around New Castle and the New Castle Times is wonderful ...

Does anyone know what area in Italy the surname ruffo comes from? I am trying to figure out when they started migrating to Pennsylvania. Also, in the early 1900's would there be a avg age difference between husband and wife and would the wife ever be older?

you rock. wow!

I have beat ancestry to death!!! I know domenick, domenic, dominic, died in 1965, he remarried a woman named Palma, then she outlived him then she married someone with the last name of tommosone.

thanks, VJ. That helps too. You guys are good. I have only been at this for about two weeks. The name changes are killing me!!

Hi. I am stuck on probably something easy. I am trying to locate a joseph ruffo that was married to ann rotunno. she remarried in 1958 to a campbell. The joseph ruffo part is the tricky one for me.
