ricerco cugini LO PICCOLO in NY

Post by sanlopiccolo »

Over recent years by now I try to have news of the descendants of FRANCESCO LO PICCOLO, been born to SAN GIUSEPPE JATO in province of Palermo 30 January 1887, left for NY in 1906 approximately. Married to Brooklyn with one its countrywoman of not sure name (Caterina Marchione)? or (Marianna Marchione). They had many sons between which: Benedict LO PICCOLO, Maria LO PICCOLO, and then also Giuseppe, Gaetana, Gertrude, Francisco. Of the first two names Benedict and Maria are sure that is, because they carried the names grandfathers, parents of FRANCESCO LO PICCOLO. My grandfather Vincenzo Lo Piccolo was the only brother of Francesco, and he has not never known it, because to the age of its departure he had only 2 years. Francesco never more is not returned in Italy, for some year has given news then after its dead women around to years “50, has not known more nothing. Four years ago my grandfather Vincenzo is dead man, with the sorrow not to have known more nothing neither of the brother neither of the grandsons. I have tried but I have evidently not made in time dargli this joy, I do not want to surrender but, and I hope that you can help me.

Just curious.....your opinion, Gaetana = Tina??

Marriage is possible, she was 14 in 1930, married in 1934 would have put her at 18........

hope the poster can confirm some of these records......maybe we can locate some living relatives....... :)

Hopefully as you say the poster can confirm...I'm just going through manifests now. Will let you know if I come up with anything. Keep us posted..you're on a roll! :D

Looking at the 1930 census I see Ben and Josephine were born in Louisana...
