Guarriello-Materazzo

Post by MissLiz »

My grandfather's parents are Anthony Guarriello and Ester Materazzo. I know Anthony was born 5/6/1900 and that he came over to America from Avellino, Italy in 1921. Ester Materazzo was born on 03/22/1901 in Italy but I don't know where or when she came over. Suppposedly both their parent's names were Anthony and Michelina but i'm suspect some mix-up. Other then this information, I have nothing. If anyone knows anything about these people or where I could find information on them, please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I've always gotten so frustrated with this branch of the family because there always seemed to be no information, but this is awesome. My grandfather is Mario he was born a couple years after the census took place but those were his brothers and aunts. I've never heard anything about the MatArazzo side before, and my grandfather really doesn't know much.

Ps. Out of curiousity do you think i could go further?

Hello. My great great grandfather is Giovanni Guarriello. All that is known of him is that he was from Campania and that he came to america at about 1906. if anyone knows anything that would be great. i'm just trying to learn more about my ancestry.
