I will search abt Michele parents...Sharon Lanni wrote:Hello my name is Sharon Lanni Petersheim. I am from Rochester New York. My father Albert M. Lanni was born in Hulberton, New York on March 13, 1919. His father was from Italy. His name was Michele Lanni. He came from we think the Campobasso region of Italy. It was said he was from Abruzzi. He came to America with one brother Leo Lanni at the age of 23 years old. I am the youngest child of my father's and the youngest grandchild of the Lanni family. My grandfather died when my father was a young boy, 13 years. I know very little about the Lanni family. Can you help me? I do know my grandfather is buried in the St. Mary's cemetery in Holley, New York. My grandfather, Michele Lanni was born May 7, 1879. He married my grandmother Mary Josephine Charles (Jessie) Lanni. Her date of birth March 12, 1883. My grandfather's brother, Leo moved to Syracuse, New York.
We were told my grandfather had brothers and sisters in Italy, but the two older boys were the only ones we knew of that came to America. Others may have come later or stayed in Italy. I would love to know more about my Dad's family. If you can help me, I appreciate it.
Jessie Maria (Maria Giuseppa Ciarla) CharlesSharon Lanni wrote:Can you tell me any information about my grandmother Mary Josephine Charles Lanni. They called her Jessie. I know she came to America at the age of 5 years. She and her mother went to Milwaukkee, Wisconsin and then settled in upstate New York near Holley, New York. Her mother's name was Teresa Belmont Chalres. I do not know her father's name, and he most likely changed his last name to Charles. I do not know what it was before that.
My grandmother's birth date was March 12, 1883. I do not know her date of death, I think maybe around 1955 or 1956, I am not sure. She is buried in St. Mary's cemetery in Holley, New York.
