Ninivaggi Family

[rp76226]

Looking for the parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters of Teresa Ninivaggi, born December 1, 1858 in Altamura, Bari, Italy. She married Michelle Lorusso on October 11, 1884. They had at least 3 children - Vito, Domenico, and Evangelista (born September 18, 1900). Believe her father's name was Francesco.

There are microfilmed records available for Altamura which you can rent through a local family history center run by the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. Since you have dates to start with, you should be able to locate the records for these individuals and records for siblings, etc.

The records available are as follows:

Registri dello stato civile, Altamura (Bari), 1809-1900
Altamura (Bari). Ufficio dello stato civile

I have done that, but no success. My problem is that I have information on his children who were born in America, but not his parents so that I could authenticate what I found. I can't find him on Ellis Island records (which might give me his parents) even though I know he arrived on the same ship (Guglielmo Peirce) with my grandfather on April 15, 1921.
