Are you looking for an Italian surname? Do you need more information about your family heritage?
This is the right place to start your genealogy search.
Looking for any info that can help me determine the town of origin for the family of Joseph Michael Riccardelli. Joseph was born in New Jersey 9 Jun 1911 and died in Texas 9 Sep 1989. Riccardelli is a rare name and many come from Minturno I believe. Joseph Michael had a son named Donald Ray and grandchild Michael all born in Texas. So I suspect there is a Michele in the lineage.
If you go to www.gens.labo.net/en/cognomi and put in Riccardelli inthe upper left and click Cerca you will se the name distribution for that surname in Italy. 23 cities, towns and villages are listed with 6 in the far north regions and 17 between the regions of Lazio and Campania. Perhaps if you go to the directory at www.paginebianche.it and put in Riccardelli inthe first line and the region names you can review the listings by full names. Perhaps even family oral history may help you here. Please keep us posted. =Peter=
