Was Maria Carmela Calla also known as "Carmeluzza" ?

Thanks for your reply mammolacanadian. I was very excited to see your response this morning. My grandmother is now deceased, and so is her sister Angie. The other sister, Theresa is still living and in fact I saw her yesterday. Can you email me privately? I'd love to share my parents names, and more ...

OP: I forgot to mention that the son, Giuseppe was born in 1892 or 1893.

I am looking for more information on the following married couple who were my great great grandparents. I know from their son's (Giuseppe Macri) death certificate that they were both born in Mammola, Italy. Their names were Elisabetta Albanese and Domenico Macri.

I am looking to find out more ...

Thank you for the information regarding both Eduardo and Gabriela. I have seen Eduardo's military record before. I am wondering if it is my Eduardo since I have parents' names on his official death certificate. Since you live in Italy and are more familiar with names, etc. do you think Gabriela ...

Thank you. Is there any way to find out more information about the Lanza Orphanage in Reggio?

My great great grandfather was Edaurdo Lanza, b. Nov 29, 1870 in Spezzano Piccolo. According to his death certificate he died on March 26, 1936 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and his parents were: Michele Migliore and Gabriela Russo. After discussing this with my aunt, she informed me that his ...

My great great grandfather, Eduardo Lanza (1870-1936) was supposedly raised in an orphanage named "Lanza", hence his surname. Has anyone ever heard of such an orphanage? I've looked on the web and haven't found anything. Thank you!

Thank you Laura! I have a US Passport Application for Eduardo from 1925, after he had already become a US citizen. It lists his father as Michele, deceased, born in Italy. Since the birthdates match up, I'm sure its the same Eduardo. Its interesting that he doesn't list his parents names on the ...

I was wondering if anyone knows of the Lanza family? My great great grandfather was Eduardo Lanza, born 27 Nov 1868 in Spezzano Piccola, Calabria. His father was listed as Michele on a U.S. passport application.

Does anyone know anything about this family - older generations, siblings, etc?

Grazie ...

Grazie mille! Lo vi email a breve.

Valarie,

Wow! Thank you for your reply. It has been very helpful. Yes, my tree on ancestry is the one you noted. I think I may have had issues with finding all this information because of an error with Guiseppe's birthdate. My aunt, his daughter is not going to believe this!

I will definitely look ...

Would anyone have information on the Calla family of Mammola, Reggio Calabria? My great-grandmother was Maria Rosa Calla (b. 1897 d.1998). She died in Philadelphia. Her parents were Vincenzo Calla and Elisabetta Longo.

Thank you!

I have information on Macri's that emigrated to Philadelphia if anyone is interested. My great grandfather was Guiseppe Macri who was born in Calabria on June 28, 1886. He died in Philadelphia on Nov 3, 1941. He was married to Maria Rosa Calla (b.1897 d.1998) and they had three daughters, Elisabetta ...
