Searching for information on the Gulfo family

Post by Liberati »

Hello - I wanted to see if I could get help researching the Gulfo side of my family. My Great-Great-Grandfather was Egidio Gulfo (later Americanized as "George Wolfe"). He was born in Colobraro, Italy in 1874 and served in the Italian Army in the 1890s. He immigrated to America at the turn of the century and settled in Niles, Ohio, where he died on March 8, 1937. He was married to Benedetta Altiero (1876-1963). Egidio's father was Antonio Gulfo and his mother was Rosa Romano - both from Potenzo, Italy. Any leads that anyone can offer would be much appreciated - thanks!
Interested in the surnames Liberati, Altiero, and Gulfo. Also interested in Italy during World War II.

His arrival, 15 March 1905, shows that he is from Colobraro, and going to brother-in-law Gaetano Altieri in Niles, Ohio.
He is 30, married, and has been in USA before in Niles, 1899-1905.

Another trip in April 1910 shows that Benedetta is still in Colobraro.
