Many barbers were unionized, if the union in that area is still active you may be able to get some info
from them.

I checked the site and it is no longer listed. They do have another very good film that
deals with rural life in southern Italy titled "Cristo si e fermato a Eboli".
Go to the web site I posted, click on sort by country, click on Italy,
and search through the titles.

They have a large selection of Italian movies.
I purchased "Tree of the Wooden Clogs" from them.
It is a very good film.

Barb,
As was suggested by Marty if you use the death records you can go back another generation or two.
In fact in my tree of the side of my family from Casalbore I have a Maria Corso Bn. 1750
Died 1810.

Are you familiar with his work in N.W. Illinois (Galena) and southern Wisconsin?

Hi Andrea,
The microfilm index number I have are for the records from Casalbore
and I'm sure they would be helpful in your search.
Since the names and dates match it is pretty certain they are from Casalbore.
I found them on a list of emigrants from Casalbore.
My grandmothers name was also Lucia ...

Hi Andrea,
I have found a Gaetano Luongo that came to the U.S. in 1902 at the age of
23. Also a Lucia Ignelzi who came in 1913 at the age of 19. Graziano Ignelzi
came in 1913 at the age of 64. If these dates/ages match what you have , I can possibly
get a little more info for you. I also have the ...

Hi Andrea,
My mother was from Casalbore. Her grandmother on her father's side was Fidela Luongo.
Her grandfather on her mother's side was Nicolamaria Ignelzi. These are common
names in Casalbore.
If you could establish a link to any of these people, I could provide you info
on 3 prior generations ...

Have you attempted a search for Iannelli?

Hi,
I have just read this post and wondered if you only covered the inhabitants of
Benevento, or the surrounding villages also.
I am researching the name Lamparelli from Casalbore.
Thank you.

Hi Nikki,
In the book "Our Italian Surnames" by Joseph G. Fucilla

Another thing to consider is that if his name was copied from a document
written in Italy, many time the surname is witten first, then the given name.

Pasquale's 2 boys are in Missouri and his daughter is in California.
Rose's married name was Lamparelli. She had three daughters and
two have passed on, the remaining one lives in Fla.
We see Pasquale's oldest son at least 2-3 times a year. The younger at least once a year. We have a family reunion ...

I'm sorry I don't know. Generally in Italy the first son was named
after the husbands father. Since Vincenzo's first son was Pasquale if either of them had a first son named Pasquale it might indicate the relationship.
Also I didn't mention in my last post that Pasqule's sister Rose married my
my ...
