Hi, I came across your message while researching my own family that also lived in Carbon Hill. Have you had any responses to your message, or have you found any other information. I have a copy of the Carbon Hill Centennial book from 1992 and it has a little information about a Ruffatti family, and there is also a school photo from 1923 with a girl listed as Marie Rossio. And a 1938 class photo with a girl listed as Harriet Rossio. And a hand drawm map that shows the Henry Rossio family living on First Street. Is that any help? There may be more If I read through the whole book, but I don't know. If you like please contact me.

The Information is right on my grandmother was Marie and her sister is Harriet. Any Way I can get a copy of the book?
If you have any other information or need any information I will be glad to share what I find. Thanks for answering.

Yours Sincerely in Christ

Please drop a line to geomk@centurytel.net, and in the mean time I will look for an address for you to inquire about a copy.

Have read your email and am interested in knowing more about the Rossio/Brido family. I sent an email to your day before yesterday, but I received no reply. I am new at this and will try this avenue now. My grandmother's maiden name was Rossio, and her mother was from Belgium and was a mid-wife. They were in Coal City, Illinois, and Carbon Hill, Illinoir. My grandmother had a brother Henry and, if I recall, sisters named Emma and Clara. There could be others whom I do not recall. My grandmother's father is buried in Thurber, Texas. Is any of this "hitting pay dirt?" Hope to hear from you one way or another. Thank you. Delores

I am looking for the family of Lena Rossio 1882, She married John Marco in Houghton MI in 1900. Her parents were Mike 1853 and Dominca. Are we family?

Joseph ROSSIO And Emma BRIDO were grandparents to my husband. I have some info and still trying to find more. Having troube finding info on Joseph's mother Rose ( she was a mid-wife and store owner. Both show up in the 13th census. Rose had her bussiness on First Street I believe (not documented yet. Article in local paper possibly Morris Daily Herald abiut Rose about 10 years ago. I'm still checking on that. Joseph died around 1928 but burried with another family plot (sister?) If any of this is sounding fsmiliar please let me know. Kathleen

Kathleen, I too am a grandson of Joseph and Emma. I believe her maiden name was Berta. I once visited the cemetery in Braidwood, IL where Emma's remains lie with her parents.

I have some additional information I will be happy to share. I am trying to identify Josephs father so I can get to his root family.
