Tallarida Family of Calabria

Post by ulr_anna »

Hello,

Are there any researchers looking for family with the last name Tallarida? My husband's great grandfather was named Giovanni Tallarida. Apparently he had a wife and children in Italy when he came to America... He also had a wife in America, Antonina Leo. I have been trying to connect with the Tallarida family members that I have found via Ancestry.com, but they do not appear to be related. I unfortunately do no know the names of Giovanni's parents. We do know that the half siblings of my husband's grandmother continued to operate a family farm in southern Italy. In the 1990's Antonina visited Giovanni's other family.
Giovanni traveled between the US and Italy multiple times. For a fairly brief period he worked at a show factory in Braintree MA, while living with Salvatore Leo. I found a ship manifest that indicated a Giovanni Tallarida (of the same age) traveled via the Franconia, arriving in Boston in 1914. On the manifest it listed that he was married, and it looks like the name of the wife was Giovannia Tallarida. The location of home was listed as Gerace. He appeared to be traveling with a Pietro Sorbara.

Thank you,
Anna

Since the records of Gerace are limited online I would either write or get the film records from Family History Library Registri dello stato civile di Gerace (Reggio di Calabria), 1809-1910 Births, marriages, and deaths from the civil registration of Gerace, Reggio di Calabria, Italy. Includes annual indexes and get Giovanni Tallarida birth record and get his parents names

Hello Cathy,

Do you know what year your father was born? Giovanni was a pretty common given name with the Tallarida family. Generation after generation... Do you know what your grandfather's name was?

Thanks,
Anna
