Hello,
Looking for ancestor Andreo DiSarno born around 1868, had residents in Poggiomarino in 1906 when he left, and arrived in US. He had an uncle named Santolo Sorrentino already in US. Andreo was married to Rose.
Does anyone already have Andreo, Rose or Santolo in their records?
Angelo, my name is Joey. My Father’s Father was Samuel DiSarno born in Italy 1919 and immigrated to the US as a child. His mother was named Rose. He had a brother named Neil and sisters named Mary and Ida. They all settled in the Buffalo, NY area. I’m told our family comes from Poggiomarino. And growing up I was told 2 branches of the Di Sarno tree immigrated to the US from Italy. Some originally stayed in the NYC/New Jersey area, some went to Buffalo. I was also told growing up that all
Di Sarnos in the US come from that same family in that area in Italy.
Looking for my family in Poggiomarino, Italia. My grandfather was Anniello Nappa, who came to the US in 1901. His younger brother, Salvatore, came several years later. My mom, Grace, visited her cousins in the 1970s. Wishing for help to work on a family tree. Love across the sea!
Hello,
I am planninga trip at the end of next year and I would love to see where my family originated from. Maybe an address, obviously if it still there! My Great-Great Grandfather, Camillo Angelo Vastola, was born in Poggiomarino and came to Buffalo, New York, via Ellis Island, in 1896.
Any information would be great! Thank you!
Haley,
Do you have a Louisa or a Catarina Vastola in your line or a Frank Bellezza in your line….My Naples aka Nappo and Napoli came over in the late 1800’s and early 1900s from Poggiomarino along with our Sorrentinos…I have a couple Vastola and Bellezza in my line.

Hello! Looking for information on a great great grandfather named Savino Caliendo. He was born in Italy around 1855, married a woman named Lugio/Lugia (spelling?), had a son Charles around 1890. He and his family moved to New York in 1899. The passenger list document shows that he left via Naples, and that his last residence was Poggiomarino. I’d be grateful for anything else you can find out or any direction you can give me. Thank you.
Hello! My grandfather Salvatore Conza came to NY Ellis Island at the turn of the century and was from Poggiomarino, Italy. I will visit there next year and would like to visit his home site address, should it still be there. He married a local girl Jenny Giordano and they had many children in NY. My grandfather was in the Italian army for a spell and played the clarinet for the local funeral marches there in Poggiomarino. Would you have any vital statistics or contacts of present day Conza kin that I may meet, while there? Thank you for any and all help! Thanks! Cheers! TC
Hello Tony! My mother Rosaria Conzo (Uncle Jimmy changed it to Conzo)
Found your message and shoes it to me today, so I thought I’d reach out to you! My mothers father was Salvatore Conza (changed to Conzo) who was from Poggiomarino. Figure he must have been related to your grandfather. Would love to hear back from you so we can put the pieces together. Salvatore’s fathers name was Anthony (Antonio?) who was married to Rosaria Guilliana. Salvatore’s brother had a mill in that town? Can’t remember his name (M?) Thank you! Hope you had a good trip in Italy!
