Debbie,

I did pay for the international membership and have gone through ALL of the Cersosimo birth, marriage and death records and found lots of information on Valicenti family members. Some I have connected to my husband's family, and some I have not. As far as your grandparents, I can tell you ...

He had a brother Pasquale Federico Valicenti who was born in 1892. They also had a younger sister who was born in Italy around 1907. Giovanni ...

Her father was Giovanni Valicenti who was born in Cersosimo in 1888 and had a brother Pasquale Federico Valicenti. They also had a younger sister (name unknown) who remained in Italy with their mother ...
