Looking for sibs for Pietro D'Anna from Cefalu, Sicily

[MelNorris9760]

If I may ask, I am looking for some birth announcements for siblings of Pietro D'Anna born in Cefalu, Sicily. Pietro was born May 3 1862 to farmer Francesco D'Anna (36) in Via Maddalena by Rosa Cicero (24) his wife.

Thank you for anyone who can help...and please let me know if I can give any more information that may help find the names of some of his siblings.

Hi I did some extension researching on your D'Anna family born in Cefalu looking through marriage records both male and female did find Pietro D'Anna son of Francesco D'Anna and Rosa Cicero marriage record but not siblings is it possible that Francesco D'Anna remarried or they moved to a different town

Thank you so much Marty for Pietro and Providenza's marriage record. I don't know if they moved to a different town, but I do know that both Pietro and Providenza Concetta died in Baltimore. I don't know when they arrived in the US or if they came here together.

I was trying to find out when they got here, but have only been able to find their son Francesco's (or Frank's) wife's Jeantte Concetina D'Angelo's ship manifest, she traveled with her father Angelo D'Angelo and her sister Maria. I believe Frank D'Anna may have lived in New Orleans for awhile after they emigrated, but Francesco (Frank) lived together in Baltimore with Jeanette Concentina his wife who arrived in the US Feb 15 1920 as it says in a 1930 Baltimore census and her manifest.

Can you find any siblings of Francesco (Frank) D'Anna that were born in Italy to Pietro D'Anna and Concetina D'Angelo? It may help me determine when Pietro and Providenza Concetta came to the US and where they may have gone, either New Orleans or Baltimore possibly.

Marty, thank you so much! This is very helpful in providing proof for me of the family I am researching. I do have a question about one of the records you found above...the Vincenzo D'Anna birth record date looks like it might be April...I can't read Italian, but maybe you could look at that one above and confirm the date of April ________ I think you may have put the date for Francesco in the translation for me above.

The names below are possibly other children of Pietro. I don't know for sure though, so if you come across any other birth records, I would be grateful. I don't expect you to look for all these, but just showing you what I have and what I suspect. It seems like so many children in such a short time, but I guess it is possible. The Phillip Salvadore name is especially odd because the info I found says he was born in Palermo, which is odd because the others seem to be born in Cefalu...
Lena b.1903
Estella b.1904
Salvatore b. 1905
Joseph b.1907
Marietta b. abt 1908
Phillip Salvadore b. 3 Mar 1908
Peter b. 1911
Anna b.1912
Josephine b. 1913
Jack b. 1915

Thank you again!

Thanks again, Marty. I appreciate the translation!

I think the family on the census you showed me may be the children of Salvatore b. 1905 in my list above. I have a census that shows that the family I am questioning were all born in Italy.

See if my link opens it for you...

Thanks for checking, I guess maybe they were in the US by then.

This Louisiana 1910 census still makes me suspicious though, some of the people match up, but some of them don't, and for the ones that don't, it seems like a rather large leap in difference for the names if they are just typos... for instance, Charlie born in 1898 is not a name that is recognizable anywhere else, and Telie is also a name that I can't relate to any of the other names. Do you really think this is the same family? Even the wife's name of Tulina doesn't seem to match Concetta Providenza in the slightest. What are your thoughts?

I think this the right 1930 census I think there are a couple of Pietro D Anna families and the 1910 census is correct also

Hi there can I ask why you’re interested in the history of the D’Annas?

I believe this is my family you researched in 2017
