Where to Begin Your Ancestry Journey in Teggiano
If your ancestral trail leads to Teggiano, Italy, their vital records are likely housed in two key locations:
- Teggiano City Hall Archives: Established in 1809, these archives hold civil registry records like births, marriages, and deaths for Teggiano residents since then.
- Teggiano Parish Churches: For records pre-dating 1809 or for religious ceremonies, exploring Teggiano’s parish church archives might be necessary.

I have traced my grandmother’s family back to my 5th Gr Grandparents in Teggiano,Italy
My grandmother Raffaela Galiano (Gagliano) was born 25 Dec. 1876 In Teggiano.
Her father was Michele, mother Benedetta Vertuccio.
I am looking for information about my grandfather,Michele, and his wife Benedetta.
Family lore is that Benedetta died while giving birth to twins, and my grandmother was sent to live with
relatives in Brooklyn, NY.
It took me 8 years of research to find where Raffaele was sent to live in the USA, and with whom.
I was able to trace her birth to Teggiano, and traced the family to my 5th gr. grandparents.
Any help on the Gagliano’s or Benedetta Vertuccio will be greatly appreciated.
thank you

My grandfather, Cono Cotignola married my grandmother Maria Rosa Russo on November 7,1897. His parents were Gennare Cotignola and Maria Di Zeo ( Di Two or Di Zee) Cotignola. I understand that he was born in Comune Di Tegiano, Province Di Salerno on June 3, 1874. He served in the 3rd Regiment Bersaglieri reporting in on December 7,1894, serving in Campagna di Africa 1895-96 and discharged with good conduct and honor on September 23, 1897.
Her parents were Antonio Russo and Concetta (gallo) Russo. I understand that she was born in or near Teggrano, Salerno, Italy on July 2 or 5 1881.
I would like to contact any relative on either side still living in the region. I would also like to know where they were married.
My grandfather Nicola Morello was born in 1848 and I would like to know if there are any records about his birth certificate.
And he emigrated to USA in 1868. There after staying for about six months, he emigrated to Colombia, South America.
Any relatives?
My grand grandfather Domenico Russo was born in Teggiano at 06/09/1863 from Gaetano Russo and Concetta Di Zeo. I am trying to know more about family origin and relatives I may have around the world. There are only two Russo families form Teggiano and 7 Di Zeo families. If any one have any hint, please let me know! Thanks a ton.
Hi Marcio My grandfather and Grandmother were born in Teggiano. He in the year 1875 and she in 1875. My grandfathers name was Russo
Hello Marcio:
My great grand father Gaetano Di Zeo was born in Teggiano at 1849
Does your grand grandfather have a brother named Rafaelle Russo?
My grandparents — Andrew Cono Ragone (1884) and Rosa Mea Ragone (1888) — were born in Teggiano. I know little of there families or their trades. Any information is greatly appreciated/
Need parents for my ancestors. Caterina Gallo and Coluceio Ciardullo lived there about 1850s. Thank You! 1860s also.
I’m looking for information about my 3rd great grandparents from Teggiano. His name was Francesco Morena and I believe he was born in 1827. Her names was Agnese Cotignola and was probably born in 1831.
My Grandfather, Nicola LoBuglio, said he was born in Teggiano, he always had a picture of the patron Saint from that town, Saint Cono. I need to get his birth records. I looked at the Ellis Island website and I think I found the date he arrived in USA. The date and the age he would have been that he told us he arrived here seems to fit but not positive it’s the same person. The Ellis Island information says his “last place of residence” was Ciggiano, which is very close to Teggiano. Maybe he moved from Teggiano to Ciggiano before traveling to Naples to leave for USA, not sure.
Can you advise me how I would go about getting his birth record? Thank you, Janet
Hi
My grandfather left Teggiano approximately 1900.
His name: Cono Lombardi, born approximately 1880.
His son Domenick left approximately 1908.
I would appreciate any information you have about him.
In particular his wife’s name ( I never met my grandmother) and any children’s names you have.
I hope to hear from you soon.
I’m trying to find out information on my great grandarents Antono DeNigris and
Antonia Cimino(maiden name). They were born in Teggiano, Italy from the province
of Salerno. They emigrated to America in the late 1890’s. I would like to know
if there are famiy census records listing members of their families from birth.
Also if there is any photo of them as young people from chilhood or marriage
which took place in Teggiano too. I don’t speak or understand the Italian language. Please translate in English. I don’t know how to get records from
baptism, etc in Teggiano.
Antonio was born on May 11, 1874 in Teggiano to Francesco DeNigris and Filomena
Manzolillo. Antonio had some siblings, but don’t know how many or names of them.
Please tell me their names, date of birth and if stayed in Ieggiano or immigrated
to America or Argentina.
Antonia Cimino was born September 13, 1878 in Teggiano to Michele Cimino and
Maria Scultore. Antonia had a brother, but don’t know his name. He was two
years younger I belived. Don’t know brother stayed in Teggiano or came to America.
Please let me know.
Any information on my great grandparents, Antonio and Antonia would be most
helpful from any siblings, cousins,etc. and the office of records to contact
for all the lines of DeNigris and Cimino that church baptism records would have
as far back as possible. Thank you. Please reply back.
Hi,I’m Daniel from France, you’re searching for Antonia siblings, Michele and Maria had much more than two children’s, they’ve seven son’s and two daughters, one of them was my grandfather, his name is Vito Cimino, born in 1896 maybe in Teggiano or Salerno, he came in France in 1922 and later had two sons and one daughter with his wife Carmen Longo, the first son is Antoine, the daughter is Lisette, and the last son is Michel. In 1996, Vito died, so maybe it’s what you’re looking for because my grandfather Vito had always said that some members from his family leaved teggiano for America but we don’t know who. If it can help you let me know and send me your reply. Ciao
Daniel,
I thank you for your reply. I hadn’t looked at messages in long time.
I don’t think your grandfather Vito Cimmino is related to my great grandmother
Antonia Cimino for I heard that my great grandmother Antonia Cimino only had one younger brother who was 2 years younger than her and no other siblings. Also her
mother, Maria Scultore had died when my great grandmother was 4 years old. If you have any other information that can be helpful, please let me know.
