Researching the Tomasso family tree

Post by ChaoticLilOj »

Hi,

I have come to a stopping point in my research of my family tree and was wondering if anyone could help.

My great grandparents came to England from Cassino around 1880-1895, I can find information about them once they are in England, marriage, births etc, but nothing before. My great grandfathers name was Benedetto Tomasso, and my great grandmother was Maria Nicola Pollechia.

Would anyone be able to advise where I can try and find some information regarding their life before coming to England? Does anyone know if any records still exist pre 1940 in Cassino as I know a lot of the town was bombed so dont know if any records survived.

If anyone has any information, please email me on j.tomasso@cranfield.ac.uk

Kind regards and thanks
Joan Tomasso

Dear Riccardo,

Thank you for your reply. I have checked on this website previous to my joining the site, problem is no where seems to have details of my great grandfather so I can't seem to trace him further back.

Thanks for your advice.

Kind regards

Joan,

Riccardo has suggested you get the microfilm of birth, deaths and marriages for your town. He gave you the link for the film numbers. This information is not available on familysearch.org. You have to use the microfilm.

Here is a post by Trish on how to use the microfilm:

Thanks Debbie,
Do you know if this service is avaliable outside the US though as I am in England. There are a few places for microfilm but nothing has items outside of the UK.

Kind regards

Hi Suanj, I think my great grandmothers surname was Pellecchia but other people have spelt it different (alot of surnames changed in England slightly during the war)

What was her first name? My ggmother was Maria Nicola and had a sister called Felicia (approx spelling)

again me: if the exact spelling of surname is Pellecchia, as I thought, and your ggmother lived in Bekshire perhaps are an relationship to:


-Antonio Pellecchio abt 1851 Italian, Italy Head Clewer Berkshire
-Antonio Pellecchio abt 1887 Italian, Italy Son Clewer Berkshire
-Gerardo Pellecchio abt 1898 Windsor Italian, Berkshire, England Son Clewer Berkshire
-Geroniona Pellecchio abt 1886 Italian, Italy Son Clewer Berkshire
- Mary A Pellecchio abt 1856 Italian, Italy Wife Clewer Berkshire
-Tubinio Pellecchio abt 1892 Italian, Italy Son Clewer Berkshire
- Antonio Salco abt 1876 Italian, Italy Boarder Clewer Berkshire
- Felicio Salco abt 1882 Italian, Italy Boarder Clewer Berkshire


your suggestions? suanj
