Yes, it is hard to read past the pink flowers - My great grandmother wrote down the names of her and her husband's siblings and parents and she wrote 'Marguerite Skiaventone" which I'm sure is Margaritta Chiaventone, she did write that she was French and an only child too. I did notice when she ...

Thank you!

Ok. So now this is my Great Grandfathers sister - Did she marry a Savio? and what does the N. mean? birth name?

Lusietto Famiglia graves in San Ponso.jpg I got this photo from a cousin who went to Italy in the 1970's We know for sure that Michele Lusietto is my great great grandfather and his wife was Margaritta Chiaventone - they are in the middle with the pink flowers. Was it common for the woman to retain ...

I am trying to figure out which brother this is of my Great Grandmother's. I know one of them served in WW I and died during it. This looks like a uniform?? If it is then I know this is Guiseppe Vallero

With Mario's help, I have discovered that my Great-great Grandmother's name was Margaritta Chiaventone. I did a search of surnames in Italy and there were quite a few, mostly centered in the Piedmont region - and that makes sense - My Greatgrandfather was born in San Ponso.

All I can find out about ...

If it is that would somewhat match the Illinois marriage record that you found. But boy, they really misspelled or misunderstood the last name of his mother.

Could it be Margeritta??

I couldn't attach the birth certificate through my phone. Here is it . I am having a hard time reading it

It was on some things I found on Ancestry. After reading your post and going back through them - I don't think they are the same person. I think someone on ancestry in another tree errantly attached them to him. I did find more lists, etc... that my great grandma's name was on as well as what you ...

My grandma had a sister named Maria. She married Bernard Berta. I always thought her and Grandma (Annette Vallero) came at the same time and went to Illinios first. I'll have to go look up those records. Thank you all so much!

Just had a quick look at the Ellis Island records. Could that read "la ...

Thank you - that is what I have been doing. I have found several census records and other forms that show a Louis Vallero - the dates and other names seem to fit, but it shows him as being in the states and to my knowledge - he never was. It also isn't clear in them as to his wife - and I have hit a ...

Ok. That explains some of the mystery. I wonder if when traveling they dropped the PAPA? I found a 1920 census that I know for certain has my Great Aunt Marie on it. Also listed in the household is someone named John Viola - but knowing that they were new to America and didn't speak English well. I ...

I have just found a photo of a WWI memorial in San Ponso that lists a Sebastian & Antonio Luscietto. I believe them to be sons of Michele and brothers of Domenaco - my great grandfather. I do know that he left Italy because he did not want to fight in the war. How would I go about verifiying the ...
