Maria Bruno was born on 12 February 1896 in the hamlet of San Biagio to Giovanni Battista Bruno, 30, peasant farmer residing in Mondovi; and to Margarita Massimino, his wife, peasant farmer, residing with him.

San Biagio is a frazione (village/hamlet) of the comune of Mondovi.

Is this the Maria Bruno (which I translated above) that you believe is the wife of Vincenzo Caputo (born in Padula) that you posted in another thread?

I ask, because Mondovi and Padula are quite a distance apart (almost 1000 km.) Does not seem likely that they married in Italy... perhaps in USA?

Hey Tessa,

That is correct, we believe her to be married in the US not Italy.

So to connect the rest of the side on the US, it is not the Vincenzo in Padula but the Vincenzo in Roccanova / Missanelo that we are working on.

Vincenzo Caputo and Lucia come to the US in 1901 and travel to Utica to meet his father Antonio. This is the Vincenzo that I believe is my G. Grandfather. Unfortunately when they arrive in Utica, Lucia dies in 1906 and is burried at St Agnes Cemetery in Utica. She died on 8/20/1906. Her tombstone lists Vincenzo Caputo as her husband as does death certificate. Vincenzo goes on and eventually marries my G. Grandmother and has my Grandmother Rose Caputo in Utica on Jan 21, 1916. She is baptised at Mt Carmel Church in Utica and the rest of the line is fully intact. There has been lingering questions because up until recently we could not locate a Vincenzo that came to Utica. We know he came in to see his father Antonio around 1900 but that was it. It was not until going through the Ellis Island records that we came across the manifest for Vincenzo and it clearly states coming to Utica to see his father Antonio that we were able to fully conect the dots and now we have everything on the Italian side thanks to you and your efforts. Vincenzo has been restored! In regards to my G Grandmother, she too was born in Italy but did not get with Vincenzo until 1914ish timeframe. She has a daughter with Vincenzo in 1916 and later dies on April 24th 1924. He is burried at Calvary Cemetery in Utica. Mary was 27 and Rose was 8 yrs old. We believe Mary was born on February 12, 1896 but that is based on a death record of the person we believe to be Vincenzo's 2nd wife. I am waiting on a few vital records on the US side to confirm that.

Yes, I know we have been working on the Vincenzo Caputo from Missanello/Roccanova.

My inquiry was regarding your response in the below thread regarding Vincenzo Caputo from Padula. When I asked of his wife's name you stated Maria Bruno.

So, to be clear... Vincenzo Caputo from Padula is NOT in your line?

Vincenzo Caputo from Padula came up when I was working with the Social Security Administration here in the US. When I asked for records that could match, they sent me Vincenzo Caputo from Padula so I was inquiring about him here to either rule him in our out. The only thing I could not connect with the Vincenzo Caputo from Padula is that he was not in Utica. That was haunting me because I know my grandmother was born in Utica

Ok. thank you for the clarification.

The name Maria Bruno is quite common. You say you took the birth date from her death document?

Besides the Maria Bruno you posted here for translation...
There are 2 additional Maria Bruno born in Same Year (1896) in Same Place (Mondovi)
I have posted the links here - you may want to keep just in case... :-)

Maria Bruno (#255)
Born on 10 July 1896 in Mondovi to Francesco Bruno and Giovanna Maria Sevega(sp?), his wife.

Maria Bruno (#468)
Born 28 November 1896 in Mondovi to Andrea Bruno and Giovanna Bruno, his wife.

Those are good to have especially to rule out any other Maria Bruno. That is part of the issue, they are similar. Our Mary Bruno, her father is Giovanni Bruno (John Bruno) in the US. Her birth date listed on the death certificate is Feb 12th, 1896 so that is the reason we did not look at these other two records.

Thank you Tess for your help! We have some of the most common names it seems. Caputo and Bruno! I am just so thankful we have Vincenzo figured out.

For some reason I am not able to locate any records in Mondovi. Are there any other events in Mendovi reported for The maria born on Feb 12, 1896. Maybe it will state something about a marriage, death, or even coming to the US. I would like to see if I can show a path leaving and arriving.

Digitized online records for Mondovi are available only through 1899 (See link below)
https://www.familysearch.org/search/ima ... %3D1392991

The birth act for Maria Bruno (12/2/1896) did not have any annotations regarding marriage or death.

Records do not exist regarding emigration from Italy that I am aware of. You would need to find an arrival manifest for Maria Bruno using the information you have.
