Searching for birth record Marianna Abbisogno

[deebee71]

Hello. You all have been so helpful in past posts and I am now onto a new family member. My great-great grandmother, Marianna Abbisogno came to NY in 1910 or 1911 with her 5 children - Assunta, Lucia, Rafaella, Gennaro and Pietro. Her husband's name was Antonio Sole. I have many photos of her and she died in 1957 in New York. She had a brother, Vincenzo Abbisogno who was a monk in Italy. I have a photo of them as children, with another sister and their parents. I was told Marianna was about 95 when she died in 1957 so I guess born around 1862. Marianna is the grandmother of the oldest family still alive in my family. She said they lived on a street called via Paradiso in Naples. I am having a hard time finding her birth certificate or even marriage certificate to find the names of her parents. Can any body help?

Hi - Are you familiar with this site; it's an Italian archive of births, deaths, etc:

Here's the archive of the Naples records:

Good luck!

Here is her arrival record on 27 Jan 1911:

This gives her birth year of approximately 1868. She was travelling with her children Assunta, Lucia, Raffaele, Gennaro, and Pietro, going to see her husband Antonio Sole. She left her nearest relative, brother Vincenzo. There is also another Sole family just above them on the list with mother Anna Ferrigno and 4 children going to see Raffaele Sole in Brooklyn - could be a relation to Antonio.

Napoli birth records are currently only digitally available up through 1865. Depending on when her brother was born you might be able to find him using the links posted above.

Yes, thank you. I do have that information. Lucia was my great grandmother. The other relative she was traveling with was her sister-in-law. Antonio and his brother Raffaele, came to NY first and then sent for the ladies and their children. I originally had a birth year of 1968, but her granddaughter told me she was about 95 when she died in 1957 so that led me to the new date. Cannot find any other info on their family in Italy other than finding out Vincenzo was a monk and I acquired photo albums and found a photo of him in monk attire proving that correct. Trying to search from the links given above but it is certainly hard to go through.
