nearing the end

Post by budlight1951 »

I can't thank you all for helping make this 96 year old woman happy. I can only go to paternal Grandparents and then the research runs dry. If I could just find some more about them that would be great.

Here is what I have so far. Louis Bruschi and his wife Eugenia Calestini (aka Jennie Celestini ) are her grandparents.

They had a son Enrico Bruschi (Aka Henry) married to Agnes Paccione. I have a lot of info thanks to your help on the Paccione side. Enrico was born 16 Oct 1888 in Genoa, Città Metropolitana di Genova, Liguria, Italy. He died 5 feb 1962 in NY.

I wish I had more to give you but that is the problem I tried using Family search but had no lock. on my family tree maker software it shows 1 family search hint and 1 historical hint. But I can't get the historical hint to come up. Same for his wife Agnes Paccione. Anyone out there that is associated with the name Bruschi maybe you can help.

Again I can't thank you all enough for your help.

Not sure sure whether you have the following or not:

Birth No 79: Luigi, Pietro Paolo Bruschi son of Antonio (Bruschi) and Luigia Bona

Registered 4 July 1854, Compiano

Parents Antonio Bruschi, 33 yo (c.1821), a contadino (farmer), and Luigia Bona, 23 yo (1831)
https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 13/wQQg7rJ
Page 46 of 198)

The next step would be to locate Antonio and Luigia's marriage records so that you can be sure you locate their correct birth records.

(I won't do any more on this as I notice you already have three others helping already, plus I have other commitments.)
