Marty & Marcello,

Thank you so much for your help! I noticed though that both of you have a different marriage date for Rosario Ognibene and Loreta Bonasera. Which one is the correct one?

Is it possible that Loreta's parents are Giuseppe and Giuseppa Trabona? That might explain the difference in the marriage date?

The information I found for Loreta, daughter of Michele and Rosaria Sinatra list that Loreta died 04 OCT 1844

Unfortunately I do not read or speak Italian and therefore have to find someone who can help me out with translating the marriage record.

On another note, Marcello, would you happen to know where I could get a copy of the book?

Thanks again,
Tina

Unfortunately i do not have any more information on Maria Auriemma, but i can tell you that Maria and Salvatore had 3 children per Ellis Island records. Their names are

Laura Ognibene b: abt. 1907 in Vallelunga Pratameno, Caltanissetta, Sicilia, Italy
Edith Ognibene b: abt. 1911 in Vallelunga Pratameno, Caltanissetta, Sicilia, Italy
Rosario Ognibene b: abt. 1913 in Vallelunga Pratameno, Caltanissetta, Sicilia, Italy

Rosario might be Rosaria. the 1930 New York census lists Rosaria (female)

I loooked at the ship manifest it says that Maria Auriemma father was Vincenzo Auriemma and he was from Gragnano Napoli region Campania Italy address via s.g. Maggiore,25 so maybe Maria was born there and italians usually get married in the brides hometown I looked through the records for Vallelunga Pratameno, Caltanissetta and no records of Maria or the kids for those dates.Correction on Loretta Bonasera single age 17 daughter of Michelle Bonasera and Rosa Sinatra.
Rosario Ognibene single age 18 son of Salvatore Ognibene and Loretta Gervasi all living in Vallelunga

Thank you Marty, now i was able to confirm the statement that was made by a family member that Leon Ognibene who was married to Rosa Bonasera where also 1st cousins 1x removed.

Could i ask one more question? Would you happen to be able to have access to information in regards to Rosario's siblings?

Again....thank you so much for you helping me getting over this brick wall I was facing for so many years.

HI My name is Karen Ognibene. My grandfathers name was Rosario Ognibene and he had a sister named Laura. I was wondering if this is the same Ognibene family you are looking for. They lived in Brooklyn NY and they also had a brother named Vinny. My fathers name is Michael and I know he was named after his grandfather.. Please let me know because I can help fill in some missing information.

Hi Karen,

Sorry for the late responds, but I was in the midst of closing on a house and moving. This is the first time in 4 months that I get a chance to work on the family tree again.

Was you great grandfather's name Salvatore Ognibene and his wife Maria Auriemma? If so, we are talking about the same family (look at my first post above for more family info), even if not I am sure we are talking about the same family, because my Ognibene family is from Brooklyn and so far it is the only Ognibene family That I could find in that area. There is another one in the Boston area but so far I don't have a connection between the two families.

Looking forward hearing more from you!
