Petruso/Salvia - Palermo Region

[sxp215]

Wow, how cool to get a reply to this board after so long! I knew that there were some Petruso's in the UK, but had never been able to fit you into the tree! I wonder who your Nonno's father was? ...I bet he was a brother (or possibly a nephew) to my great grandfather Francesco. As you can see from the post, a lot of the Petruso boys (and there were a lot of them) from that house emigrated to America the early 1900's. We're all still here

We have a pretty extensive family tree up on Geni. (It's a genealogy social networking site, so it may not be entirely accurate, but it's great for sharing) If I can figure out how you connect to Francesco/Domenico I can add you to it and you can join the family discussion.

Cheers,
Stephanie

My late wife,Madelyn Petruso, was from Meadville, PA.
Her father was John (Giovanni) Petruso. I think that he was a brother in-law of Custode
Petruso. He married Saviara Petruso.
I have met several members of both sides of the family, but do not know much about of the anceatry.
John was from the Palermo region and born about 1872.I think that he came to the US in 1907, but I do not know the port of entry.
Any information that you can provide on the family history would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I would be glad to provide any information on the family in the US that I can.

Hello everyone. I haven't been on here for a while. I am Domenic Petruso, 38 y/o. My grandfather was also Domenic, great-grandfather was Benedetto Petruso. I am also curious about my family. I know some, but not all. Lots of rumors but would like to know for certain. My grandfather lived in NY, Meadville, then came to Michigan. He passed away in 74. Never got to meet him but always wanted to meet the Meadville relatives.

Hi there. I hope you come back and read this board again soon. I recently started researching my genealogy. And I too had a grandmother named Concetta Salvia. But I believe that my grandmother Concetta was not the daughter of Nichola like yours was, but my grandmother Concetta had a brother named Nicholas. My Concetta also married a Rapp, and I came from that family. Does any of that sound like the same relatives as yours?

[maddipa]

I believe we have some sort of family connection because I had an aunt Concetta Rapp who lived in Meadville when I was growing up. She lived a stone's throw from my grandfather Nicola Salvia so I feel that she was either a sister or cousin of his. Since I am 82 that was a good many year's ago and at that time they never talked about relationship's. My grandfather, Nicola passed before I was born but Concetta Rapp was alive in my youthful years. She had a son Sam who lived in Meadville and then moved to Erie, PA.

Dominic, I have a family reunion photo from 1940 and in the photo is a Dominic Petruso from Michigan that was a cousin of my father and also in the photo was a man that was supposed to be Dominic's father also from Michigan but we do not have a name for him. Could this be your grandfather and great-grandfather? I live in Meadville and have been living here all of my life (82 years). Maybe we could connect somehow - not sure how to do it privately. There may be a private messaging option on this site - I'll check it out.

Hi, this message is for maddipa. I'm not sure how to use this message board, and didn't realize I had a reply from you until I just came back here looking for something else. Thanks for your reply! Yes, that Concetta Rapp who was your aunt in Meadville was my great grandmother! You and I must be cousins. I never met any of my birth family because I was given up for adoption at birth since my parents were not married to each other. If you know anyone who has pictures of any of the family, I would love it if they could contact me.

[Lisapeters65]

Moneyman2010mn, is your family tree on Ancestry.com? I would love to look at it.

[maddipa]

Lisa, I have tried to private message you to no avail. Could you e-mail me at maddidamico@gmail.com and we can continue the conversation.

Maddi, I sure will!

I am looking for further info on ancestors of my grandfather, Nicolai Salvia (born 1871 in Borgetto) and was the son of Giueseppi Salvia and Maria Concetta Grillo (born 1849). Maria Concetta Grillo was the daughter of Joseph Grillo and Francisca Grillo. I would also like to know if my grandfather, Nicolai Salvia had any other siblings other than Maria Antonia Salvia.

Also if any info is available for my grandmother, Maddalena DiMarco Salvia (born circa 1877). Her parents were Nicolai DiMarco and Francisca Cangelosi DiMarco. I can't seem to go any further back than that.
