Vercellino/ Torino, Italy

Post by mvercellinemclaughlin »

I am looking for the surname of Vercellino. Pietro Vercellino was my gr gr grandfather. He left Italy in 1876 the best I can figure. He was born around 1847 and married Johanah Cerreto. He died in 1916 in Negaunee, Michigan. They had 9 children.

Any information would be great.

Thanks

Hi MVercellineMcLauglhin all the way from Alaska!!

Have you seen any of his census records? Have you ever seen his boat record as well?


Guessing that
Johanah Cerreto
was also from Italy? I have never seen that given name before... I guess it would similar to "Giovanna"?? Do you know if they were married in Italy or America?

Well see that is my problem, I know that she was originally from Italy, just dont know if they were married in Italy or in the States. And yes I have seen him on 2 different census records, I also have his obituary, just trying to find out who his parents were. That or siblings.

Hi: most probable that Pietro Vercellino married in Italy with GIOANNA CERETTO (exact spelling: no Giovanna but Gioanna; this is short shape of Giovanna); my personal opinion is that was from Torino province:
-probable birth Commons : Castellamonte; Salassa; Salto; Cuorgnè; San Giorgio Canavese; Ponte Canavese; Ciriè; Torino.. and someother.....

Well I know that he was born in Cuorgne, but that is about as much as I know. Thanks for the correction on the spelling of her name.

Joseph, b. July 4, 1886, Michigan
Elizabeth, b. Feb 18, 1888, Michigan
John, b. July 7, 1891, Michigan

According to the census, Joanna (Giovanna) had 13 childr
en and only 8 survived. Plus it stated they came into the USA in 1880.
Census Information:
Year: 1900; Census Place: Negaunee, Marquette, Michigan; Roll: T623 729; Page: 26B; Enumeration District: 126

I hope this is some help to you.

Here is the census that Trish found for you.

It's nice to see that a couple of the children were born in Italy... more chances of locating a ships record.

Castle Garden ship records might include the town from Italy, but won't give you any info as to who their parents were...

This helps an emmense amount, only child not listed on here is Frank, and I believe he was born in Italy as well, as he is older than James ( my great grandfather)

thanks again

If you have a paid subscription to Ancestry.com (immigration feature) you could access the the Castle Gardens ship records. I think you can do a search without a paid subscription, but all you will get is names and limited info...

You could go to a local Family History Center
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library ... et_fhc.asp

Phone first and see if they have computers and the internet... if so, you can research from Ancestry.com from there... and you will be able to view the Castle Gardens boat records...

But as mentioned, I will certainly look for a record... and will post here if something of interest is found.

I hit the jackpot and managed to find Pietro's parents. However, I believe that his mother was french. Her surname was Cherette. The problem is now that I have no idea where she was from, if indeed she is french. I think I am going to have to find a marriage certificate for Frank and Elizabeth (parents). Any suggestions as to how I could find this?
