Looking to find out information on Lazaro Campoli from Alaltri. He had 6 siblings of which 5 remained in Italy. I am his grandson.
Hoping to find information about my grandmother’s family. Her parents were Isidore and Giovannina Magliocca. I think she had a brother and a sister who stayed in Italy. My grandmother married and came to the U.S. in the late 1920’s.
I am trying to track down my mother’s Italian famiglia from Alatri ,Frosinone, Lazio Italy. Her father’s name was Giovanni Luigi Bauco ((John Louis Banco) who was born in Alatri in December 1889. His father Luigi Bauco was born probably about 1845 in Alatri. I only know his mother, my great grandmother’s name. It was Fausta Leone. It’s all that I know about her. My grandfather was the youngest of several children. He had older brothers named Nazareno, Achilles, Umberto and sisters Adelina, Albina. Someone in the family was also named Sista but I am not sure about her relationship. My mother said that the family in America was in contact with her cousin Elida when she was younger. She told me that the family trade were gunsmiths and iron work and I remember my grandfather making iron things on a small anvil and furnace that he had. My mother Olga Fausta Banco Stalcup just passed away two months ago at ninety-eight years of age and I would like to come to Italy one day to find out more about her family.

Your help will be highly appreciated.
My grandfather Costantino Olevano was from Alatri. He arrived in the United States on August 20, 1911. He was 17 years old and as a result was probably born in 1894. Costantino had a brother Vincenso Olevano. Their father (my great grandfather) was Angelo Olevano. My parents and sister traveled to Frosonone in the late 1980’s but could not find any information due to our surname being changed to Onevelo. Now that we know the name was Olevano I would appreciate any information you may have or direct me who best to contact. Thank you.

My name is John Tagliaferri and my Grandfather was Constantino Tagliaferri . He was born in Alatri in 1881 and had brothers , Julius was one name but I do not know the others . He came to America in 1900 and was married to a woman named Esher Fanfarilla . If this sounds familiar to you , please contact me at my e-mail . Thanks for your time .
John,
I came across the name Tagliaferri in searching my ancestor. There was a Paolo Tagliaferri who ran a restaurant in Rome, NY. I my grandfather’s cousin worked with him, Giovanni (John) Bricca. My grandfather Quirino Bricca was also from Alatri, but I haven’t found any additional information on him yet.
So interesting reading these posts. This one especially as my grandmothers was from Alatri and moved to Rome, NY. Our family had a restaurant as well. Anybody from Alatri familiar with the name Vinci? I know my grandma Domenica Vinci and her brother Joseph Vinci ived with their aunt and uncle there, but I don’t know much more.
In doing my family search, I did come across a Angelo Vinci in Rome, NY. Angelo Vinci and John Bricca had a pool room and were arrested for an illegal poker game in 1920 on East Dominick Street in Rome, NY. Maybe Angelo was the uncle your grandma stayed with? My grandpa ended up in North Tonawanda, NY.
Rachel I would love to know more. Trying to find out more about family. Can you email me your email so I can contact to.
Rachel and I talked to my sister. That was my great grandfather ?
Rachel,
I am Nicole’s sister. Angelo was our father’s, mother’s father. He owned Vinc’s restaurant on East Domenick Street in Rome. One of his sons, Phil, married Clara Rossi from North Tonawanda. Both their sons still live in the area. I’m thinking our families know each other!
Hi Nicole – I grew up in Rome, NY and knew the Vinci’s, who were a wonderful family. I remember Joe very well. I don’t remember much now, but I think Joe had two brothers; one worked with Joe at the restaurant and the other was a professional boxer. Vinci’s had a large bar and a restaurant that was separate from the bar. I worked the afternoon shift
at Rome Manufacturing Company, which was across the street from Vinci’s. My friends and I would go there every night after work for a beer and meatball sandwich (which they were famous for). Vinci’s was an iconic place in East Rome, which was the heart of the Italian-American community in the city.

Hello,
I would like information on Guarino Bricca born abt 1893 near Alatri, he did have one sister, but I don’t know her name. His father’s name may be Angelo and mother Katherine. He left for America in 1913 or 1918, I can’t read the last digit on his papers. If you have any information you can send to me, I would be grateful.
Thank you
an update…mother’s first name was Carolina (Lena) last name was Florence (Florenz)
I have seen many spellings of first name Guarino, Guirino, Guerrino even some with a Q for first letter.
My name is Vincenzo Sperandio son of Antonio Sperandio. I believe my father Antonio Sperandio lived in your city Altria. He traveled to Veroli to sign up for the conscription. He was born in Rome and only his father’s name as on the birth certificate. The only name on his birth certificate it Fransesco of his father with no name of his mother. I have no records of his mother or who she was. He had to have a birth mother. I have all his records after he came to America.
I am writing a family tree of my family history. Because he was an alleged orphan it is very difficult to get information about him. I was only nine years old when he died so I never had the opportunity to ask him a lot of questions about his background.
If you have any information in your archives that you can COPY and send me ,I would be so grateful to you
