Ripattoniz Italy - ?

Post by holley1121 »

I'm helping my goddaughter reseacher her paternal line. We found an immigration record for her great-grandfather Christopher Ippoliti. The record states he was born September 29, 1907 in Rapattoniz Italy. He sailed on the Philadelphia (ship) and arrived in New York September 1920. We'd like to locate a record of his birth along with any other family records but cannot find a town or region named "Rapattoniz". Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

It shows he is from Ripattoni Italy

Ripattoni is a frazione in the Province of Teramo in the Abruzzo region of Italy.

Yes, this is the image we located. What we interpreted as a "z" must have been a typographical error. Thank you, Marty, for your assistance. Dianne

I have another question now that the location name is confirmed. What resources are available to locate Christopher's birth record and marriage record for his parents? I have the names of his parents (Anthony Ippoliti and Rita Criniti) from his marriage record in Delaware.

Ripattoni is a frazione of the comune of Bellante So his records 1907 most likely will be at the comune of Bellante because Ripattoni is a small town within Bellante like a suburb.
Family search Library only has records to 1865 of Ripattoni but they have civil records of Bellante Registri dello stato civile di Bellante (Teramo), 1809-1910
