Looking for my great-grandfather's daughters

Post by kappra »

Hello - you all have been so helpful already, but there is still a mystery remaining with my family.

My great-grandfather, Giandomenico Talone, had 7 daughters. We know this because there is a newspaper article mentioning this, and his last daughter was named Septimia. For some reason, I cannot find any census records. He came from Roccascalegna, Abruzzo, Italy and settled in Wayne, Pa, where he built and ran a tailor shop. I have the names of 5 of the daughters - Angela (was stillborn in Italy), Josephine (my grandmother), Marianna, Aurora and Septimia (or Settimia). How can I find the other two?

GD was born 1857, died 1909

Yes, this is him. I just can't find anything about the other two daughters that I know he had. Thanks anyway.

When the "antenati" website will be working again I'll have a look. It's been virtually down for days now
