Bettas-Valet

Post by vickig »

I am searching for information on my Great-Great grandmother Giuseppeanna Nicola who could have been born into the Bettas-Valet family. Or was she a Molinaro or Molinari?? becaue my great-grandmother had a sister with the last name of Molinaro or Molinari. (The italian keeping your maiden name idea is confusing me.) She had my great-grandmother in 1891 and on my great-grandmothers New York passenger list she lists her closet next of kin as Giuseppe Bettas-Valet. But my great-grandmother also had a sister was Molinaro or Molinari all of these people were from Rocco Canavese, TO. The family history search has some and they all seem to be from the area but I cannot piece this puzzle together. Any help greatly appreciated.

Can you give us the approx birth date for your GGGM Giuseppeanna Nicola Bettas-Valet/Molinari? And her married name?

When did they arrive in US?

What was her sister's first name, and the name of your GGM born in 1891?

What ever you can provide will aid in our search :-)
