Bova Conti Family - looking for relatives

Jchytil · Post by **Jchytil** » 26 Apr 2004, 03:37

My family had my great great grandmother's name recorded as Madeline Bo'Conti, but I was told it was most likely Maddalena Bova Conti. She would have been born in Italy in the early to mid 1800's. She married Cosmos Minardi and they came to the U.S. They were from Termini in Sicily. I have been doing family research and have been able to find all sides of my family, except for this one. If there is anyone who might know anything about this family, please contact me. Family stories say that Maddalena was the daughter of a count, and Cosmo was a fisherman. I would like to know more about my ancestors, living family members, anything! If there is any family left in Italy, I would love to hear from you. If there is any family in the U.S. that also comes from this couple, I would love to hear from you, too. Please help!
Thanks!

I assume youmean the town of Termini Imerese in Sicily. The civil records for this town are on microfilm at the Mortmon church Familky History Library nearest your home. Go there and rent the mikcorfilm for Termini Imerese for a small fee and then you can go thru the records from 1820 to 1910 researching for the person(s) being sought. Peter
