    Half of San Pietro immigrated to Sharpsburg Pennsylvania between late 1800 and 1970 it’s so hard to find people unless you go in person the Borough office as all the details because these last names are very very common . people were known not So Much by last names but by nicknames every family had a nickname. I go every summer, unfortunately with Covit not going this summer.

    My grandparents immigrated to Pennsylvania from San Pietro in Gurano. I have my grandparents names – Gaetano Ceraso – BD – June 13, 1875 – Maria Turano – BD – Dec. 27?, 1882- Someone has told me that the names of my grandfather’s parents were John and Jeannie Ceraso – I have a picture of them but no other information. They too were from San Pietro in Gurano. I do not know the names of my grandmother’s parents. (unless they are John and Jeannie Turano) I have been trying to work on genealogy during my time confined to my home during this pandemic and would appreciate any information that would help me in my search. Thank you.

    • Barb says:

      Gaetano Ceraso aka George 1875-1948 and his wife Maria Turano 1883-1956 are buried in Saint Mary’s cemetery in Sharpsburg, PA. I’ve done some research into their family because they intermarried with my mother in law’s family. His parents were Luigi Ceraso 1827-1878 and Carmela Carricato 1834-1883. Maria’s parents were Francesco Turano and Teresa Marsico. After they came to the United States, some of the family used the last name Cherry instead of Ceraso.

      • Jerilyn says:

        Luigi Cesaso and Carmela Carricato were also my great great grandparents.
        Would love to connect.

      We are related in some way but I am not sure how. I can provide my family tree report to you and maybe it will help figure out some more of the tree?
      My great-aunt Teresa Panza married Louis Bruno. she was the sister of my grandfather Mike Panza. I know I have a ton of relatives in Sharpsburg but it is so hard to make connections with all the common names. Pietro Panza was the father of Mike and Teresa. Pietro was married to Fortuna Ferraro. Thanks…Mark

    I am looking for any and all information that you may have on Agostino Napoli born March 11, 1879 in San Pietro in Guarano to Antonio Napoli born somewhere around 1842 and Teresa Greco born somewhere around 1856.
    It could possibly be the second marriage for Antonio.

Francesco worked at Bethlehem Steel as a “scale mechanic” (I believe). Franceso married Elizabeth Acrri. Sons and daughters: Joseph (my father born 1922), Raymond (Pete), Donald, Dorothy and Helen. Francesco, who would be my paternal grandfather, was from Cosenza. Any information would be helpful.

      • Thomas says:

        Hello Mark. I am related to the Intrieri family from San Pietro in Guarano. I was adopted and just recently found my biological father. My bio dad told me that the family name was Caserta, but when ancestors immigrated, the name was lost in translation and the name is now Cossetti. The family settled down in Philadelphia and the surrounding area!

        I have Intrieri information back to 1772

        • Debbie says:

          Thomas – hello hello. Does your Intrieri information include Pietro Intrieri, born 1867 who married Maria Galasso? Their daughter Margherita Intrieri married Giuseppe Nigro and they are my husbands maternal grandparents.

    • Flo says:

  9. kelly says:

    Hello – I am looking for any information about my great-grandmother, Rosina Noce DOB 1884 DOD 1920 – she was married to Gaetano Imbrogno DOB 1877 DOD 1938. They immigrated to Pittsburgh, PA in 1909. Im looking for any information/names of her parents or siblings. Thank you!

    • Judy says:

      Hi Kelly. I have information if you are still seeking it.

      Rosina Noce was my 2nd cousin 2x rem. Born in Zumpana, Italy Her parents were the following:

      Births and parents of Rosina Noce born June 16, 1884 in Zumpano, (outside of San Pietro). died 24 MAR 1920 • Ashtabula, OH (my hometown) I believe she died from complications of child birth as she died Mar 24, 1920 and daughter Rosina was born Mar 22, 1920.

      Rosina and Gaetano were married Dec 1, 1901 in San Pietro in Guarano It was very hard to find parents of Rosina as her death shows father as Guy Tuno which a cousin pointed out to me meant Gaetano. It is surprising how even documents are not correct with names, etc.

      Gaetano Noce born on Sept 7,1844 San Pietro in Guarano, died 12 AUG 1938 • Ashtabula, OH
      son of Domenico Noce, contadino and of Rosa Cassano, contadina

      Maria Porro born on Sept 13,1855 daughter of Pietro Porro, contadino and of Innocenza Caputo, contadina

      Rosina had a brother Eugenio
      Jan 4, 1882 • San Pietro in Guarano, Cosenza, Calabria, Italy
      Ufficio Leva della Provincia di Cosenza, Enlistment year 1882.Volume number 185, document number 183 page 142 section c Eugenio Noce, enlisted on –/–/—- born on 24/01/1882 to SAN PIETRO IN GUARANO son/daughter of Gaetano Noce and of Maria Porro. He died Oct 26, 1951 in Philadelphia, PA. He was a weaver. She also had brothers Domenico, Pietro, Francesco, and Giuseppe.

  22. Kristinia says:

    I am trying to find confirmation of dates for my Great Grandfather’s parents. Anna Intrieri was born in 1862. Somewhere around 1884 was married to Carmine Belmonte. Anna Intrieri Belmonte and Carmine Belmonte had a son, Lorenzo “Lawrence” P. Belmont born in St. Pietro in Guarano on September 11, 1886. I need confirmation of Anna Intrieri Belmonte’s birth and marriage to Carmine as well as their son’s birth date. Also, would like to find out her parents names. Anna and her son Lorenzo moved to Sharpsburg Pennsylvania around 1890. Anna later met and married Luigi “Louis” Ferraro who may have also been from St. Pietro. They (Anna and Luigi Ferraro) were married a 2nd time when in their 50’s where they raised their children in Fall River, MA on Nov 5, 1901. Marriage record is confusing as to who is which one’s parents. So it’s either Gaetano Intrieri & Anna Ursa Intrieri and Pasquale Ferraro & Carmela Pugliese Ferraro. OR it’s the other way around, Pasquale Intrieri & Anna Ursa Intrieri and Heating Ferraro & Carmela Pugliese Ferraro. Please help if you can with actual records so I can update my Family tree. Thanks to anyone who can help!!

    • Ellen says:

      My mother has spoken of Pasquale Ferraro it was her cousin ,I think I met him in San bennedetto in guarano in 1969 when I was 4,My Grandmother was Concetta Ferraro sister of Finutsa and Rosina,mother of Luigi ,Elvira ,Pietro,Antonietta and Giuseppe Ferraro.

  23. Regina says:

    If anyone has any information about an Antoni DeLuca, my great grandfather, born around 1839-1841 in San Pietro in Guarano and married to Maria Teresa Iusi, please let me know. They settled in Sharpsburg PA. They had 3 sons, Natale (who married Cristina Panza), and Luigi and Saverio (who both married sisters Rose and Minnie Laudonia).

    • Tina says:

      Regina,
      I have limited info on your Antoni, but Cristina Panza is my 3rd great aunt (sister of my 2nd great grandmother, Catherine), so you and I are second cousins 1 time removed. I’ve just begun this Panza line, but maybe if we get our heads together, we can put the pieces together.

  24. Tina says:

    Like many others, I am seeking information on family who moved to Sharpburg, PA. My 3x great grandparents were Pasquale Panza and Teresa Cozzo. I am not an experienced researcher and would appreciate any help. I have not found immigration records, so I don’t know if they immigrated or only their children. The children are Christina, born 1868, Costanza born 1871, Caterina born 1873 and Rocco born 1878. Costana married Gaetano Carricato. Christina married Natale DeLuca, Catherine married Francesco DeCarmen and Rocco married Teresina Belsito.

  25. Bert says:

    My father, Michele Clemente Ceraso,born 1897 and emigrated in 1900 through ellis island and settled in Sharpsburg, Penn. His name was changed to Clement Michael Cherry when enrolled in school due to prejudice against Italians. We visited San Pietro in Guarano in 2012, met relatives, and toured Italy for 2 months. We also visited Loveno-Grumello, Lombardia, in the North near the Swiss border. We also met relatives there. It was a wonderful trip and we plan to return next year. FYI; My paternal grandmother is a Mazza and Panza and intrieri are also in my heritage. Also, my maternal line is Rondoni and Calufetti

  26. Louise says:

    My grandmother’s family came from this area. I made two trips to Calabria to locate both my grandfather’s and my grandmother’s birth places, get records, and return to the Italian Consulate in Los Angeles, in order to pursue getting my Italian citizenship. I found Grnadpa’s town in the mountains in the Catanzaro area, where everyone seems to be named Talarico. I found my Grnadma’s tiny hillside town above the bustling city of Cosenza (San Benedetto de Ulano) and a frazione of San Pietro. Nevertheless, the family records were located in San Pietro. We had a guida that our Cosenza hotel found for us. She was very helpful and particularly knew San Pietro, as she and her Mom had purchased an old house to fix up. San Pietro was surprisingly full of history of other kinds and an altogether friendly town. However, my heart was captured by San Benedetto with their tiny homes that are now being reclaimed by the city livers down in Cosenza. People were extremely friendly. Though there was a school, we only encountered older people. We met Father Pietro (the small-he called himself), visited the church my grandmother attended as a young child, and pursued the narrow streets in search of someone who may have remembered the “Cardamone” family (my great grandfather’s name). No one knew them, but the San Pietro records proved they lived there and married there for generations.

    • Marylou says:

      Hello…My great grandfather was Gabriele Cardamone. He married Michilena Caputa and they lived in Cleveland Ohio. They had 9 children. Gabriele and had a brother natale and sisters Rosina, Gertrude and Angela. We will be visiting the San Pietro area next year

Brothers Giuseppe (1856-1927) and Luigi Iusi (1873-1961) immigrated to the US in either 1888 or 1893, their parents were Giovanni Iusi b 1828 and Maria Tarasi I believe they stayed in Italy. Giuseppe married twice, to Teresa Tarasi (1855-1909)and Rosario Lio. Luigi Iusi who changed his name to Louis Wise married Marivrosa Veltri in 1902. Her parents were Michele Veltri and Philomena Carricato. Giuseppe Iusi had a daughter Roseina ‘Rose’ Iusi who married Carmine Pettinato in Spokane, WA and they moved to Carbondale, PA and raised their large family there.
        We have not been able to find for sure other siblings for the brothers, but there are some who could be. There are connections in Ohio and Pennsylvania although we don’t have any proof. Many of the names are the same in the families so hard to trace.
        Would like to hear from others who share these family names. Thank you, Gina D

      My grandmother, Anna Settino was born in 1896 in SanPietro in Guarano Her father was Luigi Settino. Her uncle, Frank Ceraso brought her to America when she was 17. She did have friends in Sharpsburg but I don’t recall the names. Funny how a lot of them settled in Sharpsburg Pa.

    I’m seeking information on my paternal grandmother Innocenza Caputo Fiorita. She was born in Filena Italy on Oct. 2,1865. She married to Giovanni Fiorita and they lived in San Pietro in Guarano. She immigrated to The US Sharpsburg, PA.

    We cannot find any record of her after the 1920 census. WE suspect she returned to San Pietro where she had family. Is there a death record for Innocenza in Cosenza?

    Any help would be appreciated in solving this mystery.

    Both sets of my great Grandparents were born in San Pietro en Guarano. My great grand parents on my grandmother Teresa Panza’s side were: Pietro Panza (nato: May 29, 1871 and Fortuna Ferraro (nato: May 31, 1861. My great grand parents on my grand father Luigi Bruno’s side were: Francesco Bruno (nato ~ 1840) and Maria Panza (nato: unknown).

    I would deeply appreciate any information on the Panza, Ferraro or Bruno families.

    I also have a picture from a wedding that took place in San Pietro in the early to mid 1920’s that I would like help with identifying who is in the photograph.

    Thank you

    Hello- I’ve read the information about researching ancestors from this region of Italy. I am trying to find out information about my grandfather, Gabriele Panza. He was born in San Pietro, Guarano, Cosenza, Italy in 1892. I have not been able to find any record other than a manifest from a ship when he immigrated to the U. S.
    Any help or direction that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

      Hi Tricia –
      I’m trying to find info on Gabriele Panza (Pansa?) from San Pietro in Guarano as well. I believe he married Emilia Intrieri who was my great grandmother’s sister. I think… I would love confirmation of this. Have you had any luck?
      Best wishes…
      Tim

      • Tricia says:

        Hi Tim-
        Sorry I haven’t checked this in a while. My grandfather, Gabriele Panza was not married to Emilia Intrieri. She is not related to the Panzas that I am related to from all of the research I’ve done. Sorry.
