Hi Emmy,

Did you have any luck turning up any more information on this? Thanks again for this!!

Scott

Hi Emmy,

thanks very much for your continuing help!!!

I've subsequently discovered a few more things of late.

Her sister, Francesca who died in 1943 was 70 when she died, so therefore must have been born about 1873.

She also had a brother called Guiseppe who was born about 1870.

Thanks once ...

Thanks, that would be much appreciated! She had two siblings that I know of, as they too came to live in the UK:

Nicola Arpino (c.1862-1924)
Francesca Arpino (c.1863-1943)

However, there will likely be others.

Hi Peter,

No, unfortunately I haven't managed to do this as yet. I'm afraid I'm really a complete novice that this sort of things!

Thanks anyway

I'm looking for information on my great-great-grandfather, Benedetto Fusco (1849-1927)'s siblings.

They were the children of Pasquale Antonio Fusco (b.23/1/1826) and Celesta D'Agostino (b.1819) who married in Italy on 8/2/1849. (Incidentally, if anyone could find me death dates for these two also ...

Hi, thanks for that. Unfortunately, the only way I can be sure this is the same Benedetto that I have would be if his parents were listed on his marriage certicate to Benedetta Cascarino, which I wouldn't have a clue where to find! Do you know where I could find this information to confirm?

Thanks ...

In response to pink67's last post, I've no doubt this "Aunt Domenica" will be a relation somewhere down the line, as Giovanna's father himself hailed from Villa Latina. He was Benedetti Fusco, and his parents were Pasquale Fusco (1826-?) and Celesta D'agostino (1819-?). From the records I have ...

Would anyone perhaps know if there was any additional information about this aunt in perhaps any of Giovanna's immigration papers, other than her name or location?

I'd love to know who this aunt, Domenica Fusco was? As far as I'm aware her father did not have a sister of this name, unless she was perhaps the wife of one of his brothers?

The may have had a daughter called Serbia who was born in Edinburgh in 1916.

I'm looking for information on the life and family of my great-great-aunt, Giovanna "Johanna" Fusco, who was born in Yorkshire of Italian parents in 1884. I know her family moved up to Edinburgh in the 1890s and that in 1902 she married a man named Gerardo Rinaldi in Edinburgh, however, beyond this ...

I'm looking for information on the family of great-great-great-grandfather, Benedetto Arpino, who was born in either 1826 or 1839 in Sant'Elia Fiumerapido or one of the surrounding communi. This is certainly where his daughter, Michelangela Arpino was born in 1857/1858.

Can anyone help me find out ...

Her name was Michaelangela Arpino, and she was born in Sant'Elia in either 1857 or 1858, and she died in Edinburgh in 1952. Her father was Benedetto Arpino (a peasant farmer)and her mother was Benedetta Cascarino.
