My grandfather name was Michael Petrullo. I know we are related to infante family and de angleo family this is all from my grandmother side.
If anyone could help would be great. Don't know if petrullo is a common name in italy or all came from same family
Hi,
There are two towns with the name Gorga.
Gorga, Salerno, Campania, Italy and Gorga, Roma, Lazio, Italy
However, the town of Stio is located near Gorga, Salerno, Campania, Italy. Now there is microfilm at the FHC for the town of Gorga, Roma, Lazio, Italy, but not for the other towns in Salerno.
Now have you checked Ellis Island for when Michele came into the States for I did find a Michele Petrullo coming in 1911 at 22 years old and is going to see a person by the surname Ippolito. Does any of this ring a bell?
Also, I check the names for Infante and found an Angelo Infante, a Vito Pertullo, and a Giuseppe DeAngelis coming to the USA in May 1911 from Stio going to see a Francesco Ippolito. Do any of these name sound familiar?
The other thing is do you have in any of the Census or his Naturalization papers? Also, don’t forget on Ellis Island to check variations of Petrullo such as Petrulla.
Hope this is a help.
Smile for me!:)
