Mazzola Family Castlebuono Sicily

Post by SharonHistory »

Hello, I am researching my mother-in-law's family roots. Her mother, Vincenza Mazzola (maiden name) was borne April 3, 1897, probably in Castlebuono, Sicily. Vincenza's mother died when Vincenza was around two and unfortunately I don't have her mother's name. Vincenza's father was Luigi Mazzola (born Oct. 1866.). His father was Guiseppe Mazzola and his mother was Vincenza Baggese. I don't know if Vincenza's father and paternal grandparents were from Castlebuono. United States census records indicate that Vincenza arrived in the US in 1902 when she was 4 or 5. Luigi married again in 1908 in Manhattan, New York, to Olimpia and then moved to Garfield, New Jersey. I was hoping someone might offer suggestions for further research to find Vincenza's mother's information.

Thank you

There are 4 children named Vincenza Mazzola born in 1897 in Castelbuono
HOWEVER, none of them have father Luigi Mazzola :?
For reference - Births #160, 228, 256, 395

On the date you gave above in 1897 in Castelbuono (3 April) was born a child who was named Vincenza Valeriana, to a woman who did not consent to be named.
Record #116 = Birth on 3 April 1897

Marty,

In the 1930 US census, I have found Vincenza listed as Anna. So, I am not sure if Anna might be her real first name or her middle name or a nickname. I am also double checking her birthdate. Vincenza died Dec. 28, 1968 and her age was mentioned as 71, which would indicate birth in 1897. However, the 1910 US census indicates she was 11, which means she was born in 1898 or 1899. The 1930 census says she is 33, so she would have been born in 1897. I am going back through family papers to see if I have missed anything.

All this help is truly amazing and I am very grateful!!
