looking for Rebecchini

Yes, I understand your feeling...
When the Cemetery will ask to you about Minia's burial and the other persons who are buried maybe we should understand better...

My goodness Laura
What great finds, so many coincidences
No doubt there are plenty of clues in these records to run down.
Valarie

There are two more pages to Raniero's 1862 passport application on footnote. Not much info, but may be nice to have.
Do we have the manifest for the return trip?

Thank you VJ!

Hello Ann ,
For Italian records we'll need the comune where the family was born/married.
May be tough to find unless it's on a marriage/death record.
They're too old to have WWI Draft Registration Cards...
The town wasn't listed on ship manifests until the latter 1890's and on naturalization paperwork after abt 1906.
Valarie

[luckyshamrock]

Hi Valarie,
thank you so much for your help. The only thing I know and it is just through the correspondence I have had with you guys is that Raniero was a native of Ancona. Which according to Laura is in the Marche region of Italy on the Adriatic sea. Not sure if that is helpful.
Ann

[vj]

He was a native of Ancona,
Italy, and not a Watichian as previously published.
His father, Serafino Rebecchini, was a distinguished
organist and teacher of vocal music, and
his uncles on his mother's side were noted
as artists and comet players. The deceased
inherited the talents of both his parents
Laura

Ann, you're right I missed that.
I'm pretty sure only military records are kept at the province level.
Someone else can confirm.
Valarie

Wow! 8O
I found a very, very interesting old newspaper article on this site:
http://www.fultonhistory.com/

http://www.fultonhistory.com/Newspapers ... ehtml&.pdf


you can find there the news of the death of Rainero Rebecchini on december 1878.
He was unmarried, he was living on Lexington aenue with his two sisters. He was the son of Serafino Rebecchini (a very well known teacher of vocal music and organist) native of Ancona, Italy.
His uncles on his mother's side were noted as artist and cornet players..
The newspaper says that he arrived to the US with his father on 1850, so the arrival manifest of S. Rebecchini and R. Rebecchini was for him (Raniero) and his father (Serafino).
If these persons were related to Minia they were coming from Ancona - Marche region.

Laura

Isotta and Giudetta Rebecchini

Again, from Laura's find
The New York Evening Telegram, 26 Dec 1878, article about Raniero's death, it states
"Mr Rebecchini was unmarried and resided with his two sisters at 1219 Lexington Avenue,
and was the main support of the household..."

Perhaps this is the 1900 census for both sisters?
