Merenna family from Cosenza

Post by cgammaro »

Hi All,

I'm looking for information about the Merenna family, from Belsito and Altilia (Cosenza). Specifically I'm looking for information about the sons of Francesco Merenna (*06/09/1864 - Belsito) and Francesca Bombini (*1867 ???). I know they had 4 sons, Giuseppe (*20/12/1887 - Altilia), Francesco, Vincenzo and Angelina.

I need to confirm if Francesco (son) was born in Italy or not, Giuseppe his brother was born in Altilia but I couldn't find information about him, any help is appreciated.

Also I couldn't find any info about Francesco (father) and Francesca marriage.

Regards,
Cesar

Thank you Tessa78, these two I was able to locate. There is a high possibility that Francesco Merenna (son) was born in Brazil.

Any place we could look at for the marriage of Francesco (father) and Francesca?

There are Cosenza digitized records available for Altilia, Cosenza (1809-1910) at Family Search, but only while viewing at a Family History Center or affiliated library.

Thank you Tessa, I'm helping out a friend of mine, so I think FHC files will be her only now.
