Thank you for this information and sorry for the long delay in the response. Yes, it just doesn't give me the information as you mention. I see what you mention that Millie shows born in Italy. Let me investigate that a bit. My wife's Grandfather, Pietro Paolo isn't even listed on the census which ...

Thank you.

I have been unable to find any information on my Wife's Italian Great Grandparents. Her Great Grandfather was Michele Castiglione. He was born circa 1862 in Italy but I don't know where. He came to the USA in 1880 but because it was prior to Ellis Island, records are not easy find. He married in the ...

Thank you all so much. I'll go through this and get back to you. Very helpful as always and so fast!

My Grandfather was born Francesco Antonio DeLucia in Cervino, Italy. I've attached the birth notice. In the early 1900's his name was changed to Francesco DeLucia Sposito. I'm not sure why but it was. I believe it was at the request of his Mother, my Great Grandmother Maria Rivetti DeLucia. My ...

I just went through all the detail you have both provided. Its perfect. I follow it all as you have outlined. I can never thank you enough.

Dennis

Wow, thank you so much. This all makes sense now and i understand.

Dennis

Thank you. I have seen Francesco Antonio DeLucia used here in the USA on some of Grandpop Francesco's documents. I understand your suggestion of his Father Antonio being a Foundling and it makes sense. I have not been able to find the Marriage certificate for Antonio and Maria Rivetti. I remember ...

My Grandfather was Francesco Antonio DeLucia born in Cervino. However as I research thanks to this site, I find that in 1910 his name was changed to Sposito (attached). I don't understand this so looking for some help. In his Marriage certificated he did use DiLucia Sposito for his name (Attached ...

I believe you gave me all the right pieces to the puzzle. Here is a link to my Grandparents Marriage intentions from 1914. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-897J-3XQY?i=878&cc=2043630&cat=40546
His name shows as DiLucia Sposito. This is what you sent me for his Father Antonio. His ...

Turns out there are at least 3 Rivetti sisters:
-Maria Grazie
-Filomena
-Angela
So this is continues to be a real task. Thank you so much for your help. I will now focus more on Antonio Sposito and see what i can find there.

Dennis

Thanks. I am working on the Rivetti tree and will see what i can find out.

Dennis

It certainly looks like that. My Great Grandmother in previous data i found was named Maria Grazie Rivetti. My Godmother born in Maddaloni and came to the USA as an infant was named Maria Grazie DeLucia. So it seemed to me that Maria Grazie was the proper name?

The 1859 information appears very interesting and might be the answer. I am not good at translation but one of my NY cousins is and I'm getting help from her. I really believe there is something to the birth announcement and subsequent notes. I'm just looking at the 1826 information. I did find one ...

Thank you. I'll dig into the details and let you know
