Re: I Am Looking For A Town Of Origin In Sicily

I came across this which I think could be the right Marianna , but i am not sure given my limited access to records....If you notice the record list both a Vincenso and a Gennaro , but I don't know who they are or how they fit in .

Re: I Am Looking For A Town Of Origin In Sicily

Yes , my friend originally said that her Grandmother's maiden name was Tomasco , but I found her Great Grandfather listed as Louis Lomasco on a 1930 census record , so I thought maybe she had forgotten the maternal last name .

As it turns out....Casalbordino Comune in Italy
Casalbordino is a comune and town in the province of Chieti, in the Abruzzo region of central Italy....However , the Molisano surname leads me to believe that the family had / has ties to the Molise region, which as I mentioned used to be part of ...

Re: Molisani/Molisano 1906/1919 emigrated to NY, USA

Ok , until the 1960s , Molise was part of the region of Abruzzo , at that time it was designated as a separate region , I am guessing that you mean Abruzzo , when you say brusace .
