Searching for Bernardino Venditto

Post by Mynewhobby1 »

Hello,

I am finding it difficult to find information on my grandfather Bernardino Venditto. He was born on June 8, 1888 or 89. He was born in Italy. His alien registration card says he was born in Sora, Naples and his naturalization papers say he was born in Sora, Italy. He immigrated to America and lived in Schenectady, New York where he died in 1961. Once in America he married Lucia Ilario from Rotondi, Avellino.

i cannot find anything on his parents, where he lived, or his siblings. I have looked on The Ancestors portal. Any help is appreciated.

Here is the birth act of Bernardino Venditti (notice the spelling)
Born in Sora on 3 June 1888, and presented at the town hall for registration on 5 June 1888 by Luigia Marrocco, 62, who assisted with the birth.
The child was born to Benedetta Alonzi, widow of Angelo Venditti, she was age 34, peasant farmer residing in Sora.
He was given the name Bernardino.
The declarant (Marrocco) made the declaration because she assisted with the birth, and in place of the father because he was deceased.

You asked in the other thread about the address of Bernardino's birth.
It was in the house in Via Pescura (no number)

And in the post above is the birth act of Maria Benedetta Alonzo, the mother of Bernardino.
Her mother is Luigia Marrocco, the woman who assisted with the birth of Bernardino. So she is Bernardino's maternal grandmother.
