ok....i was looking at an old query post that i sent to some other sight...and i found some more info on margarite....b. 1879-d.1950....hope this will make a difference.

this is from ancestry.com... it's the 1920 census...it gives most of the pertinent info that i know of for sure....i'm still working on the death date thing....even though i have actually seen the headstone, at the time i was much younger, and didn't pay much attention to the date of death, not like ...

:? ok. my grandmother amelia crago (or grieco, sometimes) was born april 16, 1904. i have seen on the 1920 census for pennsylvania that her mother, margarite, immigrated in 1900, and that 'millie's' father, anthony came over in 1910. the same census states that millie's brother joseph was either an ...

:mrgreen: hey people i'm finally back. long time no see. i've been working quite a bit. i had tried my hand at going back to the local community college for a history degree...it didn't work out...been working every since....anyway i wanted to thank you for sending me the idea of looking through the ...

thank you.

:wink: it's me again. i got to actually organizing some of my notes and really looking throught them the other day. i have been able to find some family on my mothers paternal side (which we thought were ultimately german) that came from Florence.
the one in particular was Augustine Bonacelli-born ...

i just thought of this too....there's a woman named theresa that lives in Georgia (USA) and she is a cousin of mine....her father and my father and his cousin pete from Michigan are all first cousins. their fathers were all brothers....
Theresa's father is named Louis (Luigi by birth) his father ...

i have a Rosa Di Gasperi that married a Filipo (or Fillipo) Viselli in some of my notes at home....that's about all i know about them...but i wonder if this is the same family. although the name is gasparini for pascali, it may have just been changed differently when some of them came to america ...

hey this is melanie. been a while. i found the actual obituary for Amelia Crago (my grandmother that was married to Joseph Viselli). they were married in 1921.
it states that her mother's name was Margarete and that margarete died in 1950. Her father was Anthony Grieco. Amelia also had a brother ...

hello again. i just recently got an email from a long lost cousin of my father that said that their family was strictly from ripi and not from strangolagalli as i once thought, i can't even remember where i got the notion from...but he's got a lot more info on them than i do and i wanna see what he ...

<BR> thanx a ton folks..... :-]

hey peeps,
<BR> i got to thinking about somethings....
<BR> maybe if i had a name for a possible church for the area of strangolagalli (or ripi in general) that may have some records that i can\'t get to right now, and could send off for the info, it may help dramatically.
<BR> so if anyone knows ...

<BR> i have a copy of Peter Viselli\'s death certificate
<BR> (born may 20, 1869, died may10, 1953), and i have a couple copies of pictures that were emailed to us....
<BR> they were sent to us a couple years ago by ou cousin pete (viselli) in michigan...and i\'ve had them, but i just now thought ...

<BR> thanx alot. i\'ll have to try them next week. there\'s no real direction with this... i was just doing some basic genealogy. we know quite a bit about my mothers side of the family comparitively. and i always felt bad about not knowing as much about my dads side.
<BR> at the very least just ...
