AMALFITANO-SCHALA-LOMBARDI-BALESTRIERI from Ischia

[Amalfi]

My Gt grandfather Raffaele AMALFITANO was born in Ischia abt 1869. His parents were George AMALFITANO and Caroline SCHALA. He married Raffaele LOMBARDI in 1894 at Barano. Her parents were Davide LOMBARDI and Restituta BALESTRIERI.
My grandfather Giorgio (George) AMALFITANO was born at Barano in 1895, his sister Carolina in 1897 and brother Rocchino in 1900.
That same year, Raffaele came to NZ working as crew aboard an Italian Barque and jumped ship here with 4 other Italian seamen surnames GALATOLA, IACONA, ASSANTE & MONTI.
I would be interested to hear from anyone with connections to the above families from Ischia.
