Looking for Info on Pizza Family in Avellino

Post by RinaB »

My Great Grandparents immigrated to America in 1910. They were both born in Avellino, Italy. So far I haven't had any luck finding the ship they crossed on, or any genealogical data from Italy.
If anyone knows any info on the following individuals heritage I wouls appreciate the help!

Alex Pizza born in 1888 in Avellino, Italy
Angela Pizza born on April 12, 1888 (1883?) in Avellino, Italy
and their son
John Pizza born in 1900 (1899?) in Avellino, Italy

They immigrated to America and settled in Illinois where they had 5 more children.
Thanks

Certainly you know that to find the living relatives currently, you must have the family tree available to the family, until at least 1930/1940, and then look for living descendants, and to search you need to send letters or post messages on Italian social networks and wait .. no one can help without a affordable and complete genealogic tree,
however currently in Montella are 41 Pizza on the directory https://www.paginebianche.it/ricerca?qs ... v=montella and 31 Gambone https://www.paginebianche.it/ricerca?qs ... a+%28AV%29
