Raffaela Campellone

[tiff31]

Hello, I am new to all of this, so looking for any help that I can get. I am struggling to find much of any information on Raffaela Campellone. From the information that I have, she was born in May of 1894 in Colli A Volturno. She was married to a Antonio Tella born in 1888. She remarried to my 2nd great grandfather Guiseppe Melino. They had one daughter Mary Melino who is my great grandmother. Raffaela had a son to Antonio, his name was Luigi Tella. I have tried to find information on Raffaela, but her last name is throwing me off. She is listed on her headstone as Campellone, but her mother comes up as Pacifica Roeffera. I can't find any information on her mother either. There are different versions of spelling, at this point, I am so lost where to even start. Any information would be beyond appreciated.
Thank you,
Tiff

Here is her birth record in Colli a Volturno:

She was born on Apr 29th, 1894, at 7, contrada Campo. Her full name was Raffaela Vincenza Angela Campellone.
She was the daughter of an unmarried woman who didn't want to be mentioned.

But here is her ship manifest of 1906, when she travelled to the USA:

and was with her mother Pacifica, who was going to join her husband Francesco Angelone (also mentioned as Raffaela's father)

Here

one Pacifica Campellone is mentioned as the wife of the deceased Luigi Roefaro.
So, maybe Francesco Angelone died (or maybe they where never married) and then she remarried to Luigi.

Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate all the information. I know her mother was Pacifica Campellone. I have not been able to find anything out about her before coming to Rhode Island. I greatly appreciate all the information you have given me.
