New Member searching Barberis family
I have been searching for some time now in trying to find my gr grandfathers parents. His father's name may be Michele or Michael. My gr grandfathers name was Francesco Barberis b:1879 Italy d:1965 Portland OR. He was married to Caroline b:1884 d:1957 Portland OR. I have found 2 brothers that lived with him, Luigi and Eligio. They were from the Alessandria area. I don't know if there were any other siblings. I have contacted some Barberis's in the Portland area but have not been able to find a connection. There may be another brother Frederico, but according to one source, if they were brothers, they had a huge fight years ago and swore never to speak again.
Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be very much appreciated. Also is there any place I can search to find out what my gr grandmother Caroline's maiden name might be?

Michele
Were your GGM and GGF married in Italy or US? Maiden name would be on the marriage record.
If she had a Social Security Number, you could request her SS application which would contain the names of her parents (including her father's name, and her mother's maiden name)

Re: New Member searching Barberis family
You may wish to write directly to the comune (town) for Francesco "Frank" Barberis' birth record. It will have the names of his parents. It may also have a notation of his marriage if he was married in Italy...which will have your GGM maiden name

Re: New Member searching Barberis family
Ok, so they were married in USA... (based on Francesco's "single" status on the manifest)
Probably in Portland?

Re: New Member searching Barberis family
Have located Louis (Luigi?) and Frederico Barberis on the 1910 Census living on 22nd St. in Portland. This is the same street to which Francesco was destined according to the ship manifest...
Page 1 - Frederico (about half way down page). There is what looks like a "Secondo Barberis" listed right below him. Both are Vegetable Peddlers.

Page 2 - Louis (first line) truck farm laborer
http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6662 ... is1910.jpg
They seem to have immigrated in 1907 and 1908...
You could also write to Ottiglio for their birth records...
