Re: Origins of the name Testa and Venditti

Nuccia:

Thank you for the "find a grave" post. I looked into it and do not believe that to be her.

Any new ideas.

Thanks,

John

Re: Origins of the name Testa and Venditti

I am still looking for Filomena Testa and her daughter, Antonette. I have been striking out and wondered if anyone else has had some success.

Re: Origins of the name Testa and Venditti

In trying to locate, Filomena's mother, Antoinette (antonia) Venditti, I found that on Ancestry.com, her last name was listed as Venditto,not Venditti. I know this is her as her husband is listed as Angelantonio Testa.

Another great discovery!. I am starting to feel like McGyver!!!!

Re: Origins of the name Testa and Venditti

Good news:

During my last reply, I failed to remember that Antoinette was placed into St. Michaels Home in Staten Island in approximately 1929. She went in as Antoinette Venditti. If she were adopted, her name could very well be, DeGregorrio. Time to research that. I can use all the help you can ...

Re: Origins of the name Testa and Venditti

Thanks, John. If that is true, it cannot be her. Her mom was a Testa and her dad a Venditti. Do you have any ideas on this?.

Back to the drawing board!!

Re: Origins of the name Testa and Venditti

It helps as it starts me up in another direction. Thank you for the help.

Do you think Venditti was her marriage name? or her birth name?

Re: Origins of the name Testa and Venditti

Yes, I found that last week. It lacks a surname search or any search for that matter.

Nice pictures of the eras gone by.

Misbris:

I agree with the death dates for Tony and Antoinette. Thanks for that help. He has gone by so many first names. Angelantonio, Anthony and now, Tony. Does this mean anything?

I received the death certificate for John A. Venditti from the Los Angeles County coroner. It was indeed the John ...

Re: Origins of the name Testa and Venditti

The manifest we believe to be for Bernardino Venditti from the Prinz Oscar dated 22 February 22, 1904 shows he is traveling with family. I cannot figure who the children are traveling with. Is it Christina Iammatteo age 46? If so, what does the initials Ma mean and do I have the correct the spelling ...
