An abandoned child was given its first and last name (nome e cognome) by the official.

Tallone would be Francesco's given surname.

Tammaro Pezone and his wife, Concetta Cristiano, were the couple who raised him.
FYI - Italian women kept their maiden name.

I believe that Francesco was not ...

I believe the A.G.P. of R. Stabilimento di Napoli indicates that he was an abandoned child, and possibly a ward of the government.

...and to correct my translation, it looks like he resided with and was raised by married couple Tammaro Pezone and Concetta Cristiano in Grumo.

Maybe someone ...

Thank you.
Is there anyone on these boards local to the island?

Regarding Favignana, off Sicily's west coast - is there a good place to find records online? Does FamilySearch have indexed collections from Favignana? Thank you.

suanj and Tessa: You both make this look so easy! Are these names indexed and searchable, or did you scan through the batch of documents in a particular collection?

Thank you!!

You make it look so easy Thank you for your help with my student's project! This is awesome.

My great-grandmother's name was Filomena Tallone, b. 1904 in Grumo Nevano, Napoli.

Her father was Antonio Tallone (b. 1867 in Italy, d. 1957 in NJ).
Her mother was Rosa Riccia (b. in Italy, no known dates...)
I do not know any info about Rosa or her parents.

Antonio Tallone's mother was Maria ...

We are looking for:

Pasquale Conti from Pescara, Abruzzo, married to Maria (Bosica)

Domenico Marchegiani, b. 1911, from Abruzzo, married to Camiletta Mazziotte

Salvatore Misenti married to Guilia Marchese (location in Italy possibly Mellili, Syracusa, Sicily)

Sebastiano Ranno, married to Mattea ...

Thank you. Where might I begin finding his military record?

Why not request his military record?

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that nor knew where to look for that. :oops:

Thank you all for your replies so far!

(Wow, Piedmont seems to be outside of Turin...a far cry from Sicily! I've been to Turin once. Forgive my ignorance ... why would he have been there ...

Good evening,

My great-grandfather's picture that hangs in my grandparents' house features his Italian military uniform. He was born in 1900 in Palermo, Sicily, but was married in Trenton, NJ in 1923. So, so presumably this uniform would date to the 1910's / very early 1920's.

Can anyone help me ...
