French Canadian Birth Record

[jcsm400]

Hi Nuccia,

This could easily be son of my Pietro & Anna Maria (Bifano) DiPierro who was born Dec. 1883 Italy. Pietro had a great uncle with the name of Vito Antonio, so his son's middle could be Antonio (1883 records not on the film= no br found on Vito).

I got a reply from the archive & sent you a copy. Looks like I'll b ordering more LDS films. Just hope they aren't 8mm!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all your help,

Joyce (jcsm)

suanj.

Would be interested in seeing these records. My Pietro Dipierro had a great uncle (born 1804) by the name of Vito Antonio. Have not found a death record for him in Armento, so it could be him.

Thanks as always for the info.

jcsm

no because this Vito Antonio draft card is for WWI, so could be pietro's son... I hope that someone can see the record.. regards, suanj

Sorry Joyce,

We need to wait for Maria on this one. If it's accessing stevemorse site manifests I am lousy at it! Maria has done all my lookups for me. I still owe her lots of Tylenol for what I put her through!

Glad about the films being available. Sorry we didn't know sooner or I would have gone down for you since I was off most afternoons for the last 2 weeks.

Lets see what else we can come up with here though.

Keep smiling. We're making progress!

Joyce,

Who was Vito Antonio your uncle married to? Do you have any names of children? I found some different Vito's with similar years but I won't post until I have more info from you!

[jcsm400]

suanj,
You are absolutely correct. Don't know where my brains are today. Come to think about it, I'm not sure if I have any!

Nuccia,

stevemorse site. Remember it from many moons ago, but forgot about it. Will have to check it out, again. If I remember correctly, I had trouble with the site.

Can't believe you would be willing to go & look for the baptismal record. I am sure you have a million & one other things to do. You are so kind & a lady with a very BIG heart. Ill try St. Pat's films first & keep you posted.

Vito, not sure if middle name was Antonio, was 3rd great granduncle of my husband. I'm pretty sure I found the correct one on the 1930. Listing is under Deperro, Vito. age 47 Italy, clock repairman, Wife Mary (maiden name unk.) 41 IL, son Peter 21 IL & son Ernest 19 IL living @ 717 S. Kenneth Ave., Chicago. This census shows Vito coming in 1890.

Thanks a million,
jcsm

Hi again,

Here is the information you were stating about Vito in the 1930 census in Illinois. I'll send it Maria again and ask her to post it for you. And I forgot to send her the 2nd page of the 1900 census.

Per this census, Vito is from Italy, he is born about 1883 (age matches Vito from 1900 census), and he came to the USA in 1890 (matches information on 1890 census). And he named his first born son, Peter, which is how the naming pattern usually is (first male son named if paternal grandfather). So these are all great clues and possibilities of being your Vito.

Name: Vito Deperro
Age: 47
Estimated birth year: abt 1883
Birthplace: Italy
Relation to head-of-house: Head
Spouse's Name: Mary Deperro
Race: White
Home in 1930: Chicago, Cook, Illinois
Image source: Year: 1930; Census Place: Chicago, Cook, Illinois; Roll: 461; Page: 5A; Enumeration District: 1004; Image: 11.0

I'll also send Maria the WWI Draft Card for Vito.

Smile for me!:)

Hi again,

This is another long shot here. Remember, you have to try to verify information with actual documentation.

This was in the SSDI for Peter (son of Vito)
Name: Peter Deperro
SSN: 340-01-5464
Last Residence: 60621 Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States of America
Born: 18 Aug 1908
Died: May 1978
State (Year) SSN issued: Illinois (Before 1951 )

Smile for me!:)

Hi Trish.

Thanks for SSDI info on Peter, son of Vito Depierro. Another record to verify. Will go for his death certificate thru clerk of Cook county using the listed spelling of last name.

Think I'll just seat back and let you gals do your thing and reap the rewards (records/info)

Oh, & thanks for posting 1930 info on Vitio & family.

Hi Joyce,

I just remembered about this site. Don't know if it will be helpful but have a look at it when you have time.

Hi Nuccia,

Thanks for the site. I checked but didn't find anything. They are in US by 1890. Good thought though.

I owe you an bio email.

Nuccia,

Thanks so much for this website. Through it, I solved the problem I posted under "Chicago Research help....PLEASE"

Still working on this one!

You made my day

Hi Everyone,

I'm still going over everything with a fine tooth comb.

Have come to conclusion that suanj is correct about the posted 1885 manifest. It is for a Pietro Paolo Difiore. So I went back and did another search for Castle Garden on Steve Morse's site. I found this and would appreciate it very much if someone can link manifest and post for me. It seems to match census information.

Pietro DIPIENO, age 25, last residence Armento, arrived 5/18/1883, POD: Naples, Italy
ship: Alesia Series: M237 Roll:465 Nbr: 598 Frame 491

Have a great day/evening, everyone & thanks

I am

From postings, Pietro Dipierro b. 1858 immigrated 1883 (abt 25 years old)and naturalized 1893.

I got the Cook county (CC) naturalization soundex card for Pietro Dipierro, today.

http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/8931/n ... rro3yo.jpg

According to info on CC naturalizations:"The "Minor" denotes the person arrived in the US as a minor & then became a citizen sometime after reaching the age of 18. Soundex cards often give the number of years (10) the minor resided in the US before naturalizing. Soundex cards pre 1904 reflect almost all the information contained in the actual records."

The address listed on the card is the same one Pietro & family are at in 1900. 1900 census also shows his wife having 8 children with 6 living, but no son, Pietro, on census

So.....This is for a son of theirs that died between 1893 & 1900 Where is the naturalization papers for the father, Pietro

Do you think it's possible that both father & son's are filed together & that is why only one card cames up on soundex search

Any suggestions or comments, greatly appreciated
