Looking for information on Domenico Francomacaro
Looking for information on Domenico Francomacaro
Hello! I am brand new here and working on a research project for my husband. His Francomacaro side of the family came from Piedimonte d'Alife. I have ship records that Domenico Francomacaro arrived in US on 4.11.1898.
I am interested in finding as much information as possible on the Francomacaro family from that region. I think his father's name was Giuseppe with possible birth date of 1850. My husband visited the area in the early 1970's with his grandparents when they visited family and would like to find them again. Any direction would be great!
Thank you!

Re: Looking for information on Domenico Francomacaro
If you want to do some of the research yourself for the Francomacaro ancestors...I am interested in finding as much information as possible on the Francomacaro family from that region.
The LDS (Mormon) Family History Center has available for rental and viewing, microfilms of the civil registrations for Piedimonte d'Alife from 1809 - 1929.
Births, marriages, deaths, etc.
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library ... +Piedimont++
You will need to go to the nearest FHC to order the film, and return there to view the film(s) when it arrives.

Raffaele Francomacaro, son of Antonio, age 28, laborer; and to
Gabriela Gagliardi, daughter of deceased Giovanni Antonio, age 27.

Re: Looking for information on Domenico Francomacaro
There is a notation on Domenico's birth record stating that he married in Piedimonte d'Alife on 7 June 1900 to Cecilia di Buccio.
Here is the manifest for their arrival in US in July 1900 (looks like Domenico returned to Italy to marry)

Re: Looking for information on Domenico Francomacaro
Tessa78,
Thank you SO much for this information!! My husband will be very excited about this news. Cecelia was his great grandmother so this is definitely the right family. I will certainly explore all the avenues you have given.
Dominico's son James J Francomacaro married Francis Romano whose father Paul (Paolo) Romano came from Cesa? near Naples in 1901. Paul had married Ann Puco also from Naples area and my husband lived with his great grandparents and then grandparents in NJ for the first 3 1/2 years of his life. Both the Romano's and Francomacaro's are very special to him.
Again, I really appreciate all your help as I piece together this family for him.

Re: Looking for information on Domenico Francomacaro
This is exciting I had no idea I would have a response with info so quickly! Yes, I have a bit more info on Paolo Romano. He was born, I believe, in 1880 and emigrated around 1901. I would also be very interested in the Romano history. Should I start a different thread for that? I'm new - not sure the protocol!
Paolo's wife was Anna Puco. She came from, I believe, the Cesa area also. She emigrated with her mother, Rosifina Perfetto Puco around 1894 when she was about 5 years old. Anna's father, Frank Puco (Francesca?) had emigrated to America several year earlier and they were joining him. This is information from family - I'm trying to verify and find what information I can. My husband is interested in the types of work they did and the conditions they may have been under when the decision was made to come to America.
Thanks again!

I take it you are fluent in Italian? This is very helpful as I have been trying to figure out translations. This is so interesting - I don't want to do my other work!
