Hi Laura :D !
I'm so glad you found Fedele's first wife Carmela (Molly) and her family!
Do you have an idea on Fedele's second wife Annina's surname?
Thank you

Ciao Val :D
I'm searching also for Annina's lastname....
On the Familysearchlab site there is the marriage record for Vincenzo Dieso (possibly Annina's brother?)... He married Paolina Cerentano (maybe Celentano?) on 29 january 1905, his parents are listed as Giuseppe Dieso and Enrichetta Allaporta..

VJ....could not find any record that stated Annina D'Esa with a birth certifcate for Umberto. I am also looking for the passage record for Annina -- you stated she migrated in 1907.

Also, cannot find Angelo Nigro and Maria Michela Russo -- birth, marriage or passage.

Thank you

Hi Donna!
This record was from NEHGS
I can't link an image from their site
vj wrote:One of the reason's Annina and her brother Vincenzo may be so hard to find is their surname
It's difficult to figure out the original spelling
For example
Nigro Umberto Milford 1915 630 433 Birth
On Umberto Nigro's birth record Annina's surname is spelled D'Esa
Haven't had any luck finding Annina's manifest
If she arrived after 1900, her first census will be in 1910

Donna,

Is it your family history that places them in the US, or do you have a record with them on it?
Where would they have lived?

Annina was in Monson, Mass and then moved to Milford, Mass -- she died in 1979 at the age of 97. Any of her census reports state her as Annie Nigro no mention of her maiden name.

Hi Donna,
NEHGS is the New England Historic Genealogical Society
This is a link to the NEHGS, it's a subscription site
http://www.newenglandancestors.org/default.asp
Their records are primarily for New England
Quite a few of the MA records that are on NEHGS can also now be found on the FamilySearch pilot site
