Altobello family
Altobello family
I'm looking for any kind of info on the Altobello's in the Monopoly, Bari region. My grandfather and grandmother came to the US 1907 and died in 1918 Of the 1918 world flu. He was 24 when he arrived. I have the passenger record but not much else to go on. My father was a baby when his father passed. He and his brother and two sisters were put in orphanages.
thanks, John
thanks, John

Welcome to the forum, John!
Where were they living in the US?
Your grandfather's first name? Grandmother's maiden name?

Re: Altobello family
For reference: Is this the manifest from 1907?
Looks like he is traveling with his brother Antonio, 17.

Re: Altobello family
If you know your grandfather's date of birth, you can write directly to the comune of Monopoli to request his birth record. (and the marriage record if he was married there). It is best to write the letter in Italian. Here is a link for form letter in Italian if you need one...

Re: Altobello family
Great information John
So the above manifest is your grandfather Vito, and his brother Antonio.
It reads (line 3 and 4): click on document to enlarge.
SS Luisiana arriving NY in November of 1907
Vito is 24 (so birthdate would be about 1883 or 84), single, farm laborer, from Monopli, Bari, leaving in Monopoli his father Giacomo. Heading to Clarksburg, West Virginia to cousin Giovanni Biasi @ 335 W. Pike St.
Could you tell me where they lived?
Where did Vito and Anna get married?

Re: Altobello family
They ended up in Beryl, WV. I think they might have been married in Piedmont or Keyser, WV. Alot of records were lost in a fire in Piedmont which is the town right next to Beryl.

There's a new link on the FamilySearch Pilot for the WV records. The results sends you to the archives for an image of the document. It may help when the WV archives search slows down. The FamilySearch Pilot also has a neat advanced search where you can look by parent's name.

My grandfather Francesco Altobello originated from Bari Italy. We believe that he arrived stateside in 1905. He marred Antonia Amodia in 1910 or 1911, also from Bari. They settled in Mt. Clare West Virgina. My father & his 6 brothers & 3 sisters were born in Mt. Clare. Anyone having addtional information about the Altobello family please contact me.
