17th Cen- GUIDAS from AVELLINO ITALY, CAMPANIA REGION??

rivrratjim171 — 2012-05-17 16:34:39Z

17th Century - GUIDAS from AVELLINO ITALY, CAMPANIA REGION??

Looking for 17th century GUIDA, CAPORALE, and REPPUCCI families, (possible connection to Friscuolo, and Montano marrying into the Caporale family name, through Raphaele Caporale)

This location may be all wrong, but a somewhat fictional story was written about my ancestors, the GUIDA Family, in the 17th Century. It includes this information.....
“17th Century Italy. In the Valley of LOMBARDY PLAINS, with the background of the MONTE ROSE Mountains, in AVELLINO, A PROVINCE OF MILAN, Lived the GUIDA Family, Antonio (b.1833-?) and Maria (b.1835-1881) had two sons Michael, b. Dec. 1864, died May 24, 1939, and Alfredo, b.1868. The Guida’s also had the largest goat farm in the area.”

THE PROBLEM? Avellino is actually to the south, east of Naples, in the Capania region. The Lombardy Plains are actually in the North, East of Milan.

Looking for any information on locals, and dates for the following families:

THE GUIDAS, Antonio married Maria, had two sons Michael and Alfredo
Michael married Antoinette Caporale, and had following kids: Guisippe, Leo, Victoria Margaret...(my Grandmother) Albert aka: Benny, Anna, who married Francis Henehan, James, Helen, and Margaret.

THE CAPORALES, Guisippe (b.1842- d.1892) married Victoria (or Vittoria, maiden name REPUUCCI, (1830-d.1921))

These are their children.
(1) Antoinette (maybe Antonia)
(2) Antonio,
(3) Luigi,
(4) Raphaele, and
(5) Maria,
...but Guisippe Caporale's wife Victoria, or Vittoria,s maiden name was thought to be "REPPUCCI", so I'm trying to find as much info on this side of the family from Italy, as the other names.

* Guisippe traveling with (possible two daughters)Antonia and Maria (Mary)Caporale came from a town called Chiusano di San Domenico. (Avellino Province-Campania region, so this area would be a point of interest.)

*Also looking for info on Raffaele Caporale’s correct spouses’ names, which may be either ANGELA FRISUOLO, or SABBATINA MONTANO. Possibly their child’s name was Anna Caporale.

I do appreciate this ancestor trying to write from memory the accounts of our family travels, but this makes
things totally confusing on where to look at births, deaths, marriages, etc., of my ancestors.

Thank you for any assistance rivrratjim17@yahoo.com

GUIDA, CAPORALE, REPUCCI, Friscuolo, Montano,Raffaella, and Sabbatina

rivrratjim171 — 2012-02-03 09:26:20Z

Ciao,
Looking for ancestors on my mother’s side. Michael, or Michele Guida or Vida,came over on a passenger ship, maybe the ALESIA, to New York, about 1891.

My parents were Vincent John and Victoria Rose Weeder
My Mother's side>

My grandparents on my Mom's side, were Victoria Margaret Weeder, and Perley Ansell Dewey.

My Great grandparents were Michael Guida and Antoinette Caporale.

Michael's parents were Antonio Guida and Maria.
Antionettes parents were Giuseppe Caporale and Victoria (or Vittoria) Repucci (1829-1921) 92 YRS? really?

That's all I have. I do have some names that may correspond to this Guida Family and they are: Maria Giovani Caporale, parents - Raffaella, Angela, and Mattilliello.
Angela Friscuolo, Sabbatina Montano, Domencia Saliia.

Caporale's - Raphael,42 Mary,38,Emilia,11, Jenny,6, Tony,3, and John,8. Head of Household was Victoria at 67 yrs.

So I'm interested in finding out the possibility if anyone can recognize a name and help me go further, Thanks!

sainitnthecity — 2011-12-04 04:14:36Z

Hi,

I was told that my ancestors (Ghiraldini) came from Bergamo but I can't make that connection anywhere. So far the most common are Massa or Massatri.

I also have a public tree to view.

Hi there. You may want to contact Magali Pacchiana at m_pacchiana@hotmail.com. I have been communicating with Magali and she asked me to give you her email address. She may be able to help you. She is going to our ancestor's village on 4/23 to do research and suggested you tell her the name of Peter/Pietro Pacchiana's wife, how own date of birth, Andrew's date of birth and if you know whether Andrew and his siblings came to the US with his parents. If she has this info, she might be able to help you answer your question.

Re: Andrea PACCHIANA from Bergamo, Poscante

psoldavini — 2011-04-17 02:13:16Z

My Great Grandfather Andrea (Andrew) had brothers named Pietro, Angelo, and Vincenzo and sisters named Bettina, Giovanna and Angelina. I know one of these siblings had a son named Andrew, but not sure which. They lived in Poscante, Bergamo, probably the municipality of Zogno.

Dear Magali:

Yes, I did check out your family tree. It is quite impressive. I have a long way to go before I get that much information. I will contact you via hotmail.

Regards,
Patti

Re: Andrea PACCHIANA from Bergamo, Poscante

psoldavini — 2010-05-18 13:18:13Z

Hi Magali.

I just saw these messages. I actually have the birth and death dates of Andrea. I am seeking the birth and death dates of his father Narno Pacchiana and Narno's wife Giuseppina Pisani. I will email you directly about this.

Regards
Patti

Dear Patty,

I haven't heard much about you lately. I don't know if you can still read my messages.

Anyway, I am currently in contact with the Catholic Church of Poscante near Zogno.

Keep in touch by writing to my personal address: m_pacchiana under hotmail.com

Best regards

Magali Pacchiana

Re: Andrea PACCHIANA from Bergamo, Poscante

mpacchiana — 2010-05-03 18:37:39Z

Hi Patti I have the date of birth of Andrea via my aunt, she is a member of Ancestry and of many other similar sites.

I make a new request with his date of birth to Zogno townhall.

mpacchiana — 2010-05-03 17:52:12Z

Dear Patti,

Did you manage to find my family tree on Ancestry since you are a full member ?
I hope you did.

I contacted the townhall of Zogno and made a request on Andrea Pacchiana, they could not find anything on him. Could you give me more info about him. Remember ? I can speak Italian. I can do that for you. And or send me more information on his parents for example.

I asked them about my great grand parents Giuseppe and Angelina and they had a hit. I may ask for more information provided I pay 16 Euro for the service.

I invite you to carry on our conversation by writing to m_pacchiana under hot mail.
Unfortunately, I do not have access on your tree.

In short give me as many info as you can on your ancestors Pacchiana born in Italy, preferably in Zogno and Poscante... I'll try to help you as mediator/translator.

An make sure we can keep in touch. I might be gone from this site in a week time or so.

Regards

Magali Pacchiana

I will check that out. Thanks!

Re: Andrea PACCHIANA from Bergamo, Poscante

psoldavini — 2010-04-28 22:37:59Z

Hi Magali:
I will definitely look up your tree. Acutally, I have much more information about my father's side of the family, probably because they simply lived longer. I grew up having a Great Grandmother. My Mother's side was not so fortunate; they did not enjoy as long lives. Consequently, I'm having a much harder time learning much about them; they died when I was an infant. I live in New Jersey; not much farther from where both sides of my family settled when they came over here.
Patti

Re: Andrea PACCHIANA from Bergamo, Poscante

psoldavini — 2010-04-28 22:32:40Z

Hi Magali:
My name is Patti. I believe my Great Great Grandfather was named Narno Pacchiana and he married (I believe) someone named Giuseppina Pisani. There are so many Giuseppe's and Giovanni's throughout my family tree, it's hard to keep them straight. Since both our Pacchiana's are from the same town, I am going to see if I can find any information on yours; that could lead me to mine.

Dear P

I am afraid I am not a member of ancestry so I simply can't see your tree without having to pay.

My Aunt has built up a family tree on Ancestry I believe.
Look up under Marie-Josee Couepel, Gaetane Couepel (my mum), Christian Pacchiana born in March 1942.

My family tree is very impressive on my mother side but poorly filled on my fathers side despite the fact that research should be far more simple: the Pacchiana and the Carminatti all come from the same area in ITaly.

I would only have to spend a week there in the towns archives and I would probably get far back.

Your welcome to have a look. Let me know if you could find out more.

Which state and city do you live in ?

The Hague where the Yougoslavia tribunal is: that is where I live.

Have a good day. I'm going to bed now.

Magali

Re: Andrea PACCHIANA from Bergamo, Poscante

Hello what is your first name ?

My grand father Francesco Pacchiana was born in Poscante and his father Giuseppe Pacchiana was born there around 1880 and married Angelina Carminatti they all died in France where they immigrated.

My name is Magali or Anne-Marie. I am married to a Dutchman and live in the Netherlands.

I'll try to see you tree.

Hi there.

Nice to hear from you. I live in the U.S. and I started becoming very involved in researching my ancestors a short while ago. I've made good progress but will soon find it challenging to seek information from various places in Italy. My paternal side is from Bergamo, Milan and Genoa. My maternal side is from Montefalcone Val Fortore, Vaccarizzo Albanese, and San Demetrio Corone. I'm told my great grandfather Andrea Pacchiana was a painting contractor. He came to the U.S. but returned to Italy where he died of the effects of lead poisoning in 1925. His wife, my Great Grandmother, lived 60 years longer, dying at 100 in the U.S. in 1982. My tree (Soldavini) is public if you haven't already seen it, where you'll find more info about Andrea. Unfortunately, I don't speak Italian (shame on me) but I have been reading a lot about Italian history lately. I have/have had such a great family, I wanted to learn more about each of them/my ancestors.

Regards
P Soldavini

Re: Andrea PACCHIANA from Bergamo, Poscante

mpacchiana — 2010-04-27 19:41:54Z

I am a Pacchiana. My grandfather immigrated to the South of France with his parents and they came from a village near Zogno in the Province of Bergamo.
I myself visited this small village and I was amazed to see that lots of inhabitants there bear the name Pacchiana.

I speak Italian some of my family members are genealogy specialists.

I believe we have a family tree on ancestry as well.

What country do you live in ?

PELALOSSO as a Surname

valeriegk — 2010-02-27 00:57:09Z

Has anyone heard of Pelalosso as a surname? I have a 1514, Bergamo notorial document which records the marriage of Catherina de Tasso to a Francheto Pelalosso. I am not certain if I am reading Francheto's surname correctly. Many thanks.

COSSOLINI

jimida64 — 2010-02-27 00:56:36Z

Looking for Cossolini relatives in Bergamo. My great grandfather, Giovanni Benedetto Cossolini (1850) was born in Schilpario. He married Antonia Mai (1866) and emmigrated to the United Stated in 1892.

Re: Pelalosso as a surname

valeriegk — 2010-02-20 20:29:31Z

I am replying to my own post. Francheto's surname is spelled Pelalosso. I found the surname mentioned in a book put on the internet by Google. A courier with the surname Pelalosso is mentioned in a 1504 record, entitled "Other news on the disease of the Pope." I am wondering if this courier Pelalosso was the same person as Francheto Pelalosso who married Catherina de Tassis in 1514. It would make sense for a member of the de Tassis (Taxis) family to marry someone who was a courier. Perhaps Francheto worked for Catherina's family. He may even have been a relative. If anyone has any information on the Pelalosso family of Bergamo, please contact me. The record in the book was dated 06 October 1504, Rome, so perhaps the Pelalosso family may have lived in Rome. Many thanks.
