Seeking my family name in San Marco In Lamis

Post by OzItalian »

Buona giornata e saluti dall'Australia.

All my family, my parents, my aunts, my uncles, grand parents, all came from San Marco In Lamis, Italy. I am the first born in Australia. My family name is Matera and my mother's family maiden name is Iannacone and Cerrone. I know many of my relations with the same Matera name are still living in the town and in nearby provinces. Due to my Dad's passing recently, I am desperately trying to track down my "Matera" relatives and family tree on my Dad's side as I have never met them nor know much about my Dad's side of the family. Thus my query.

My parents moved to Australia in 1964, and all my mother's side moved to Australia as well. But my Dad's side remained in Italy. I know over the years many of my Dad's family sadly passed away, but I do know some still are alive and living in San Marco. So am after any connections or people who can help put me in contact or direct me to how I can make contact and re-connect.

Thanking you kindly.

Hi Tessa,

Had no luck with those links or connections. Any one else can help further please post here or contact me.
Further information to help my search or if anyone knows more information.

My father Michele Matera was born Feb. 20, 1934 in San Marco In Lamis. His parents names were Giuseppe and Lucia Matera. They lived at 40 Via Ciavarella in San Marco In Lamis.

Thank you,
Joe
