My relatives names:
Teodosio (Theodore) Grippo (my Great Grandfather)
Maria Louigia Stattuti Grippo (my Great Grandmother)
Rosantonia Grippo Zotto (Rose-my Grandmother-settled in Troy, NY)
Danato Grippo (Dan-his first wife was Carmela De Bonis-he settled in Chicago)
Josephine Grippo (she settled in Argentina)
Giovanni Grippo (I believe he settled in Vancouver, BC)
Saverio Grippo (I'm not quite sure but he may have never left Italy).

My ancestors were also from Pietragalla, Potenza. It is my understanding that there are still relatives there.

Surnames: Monetta, De Bonis, Pafundi, Stattuto
Please contact me thru my personal e-mail pyrshepmom@gmail.com. My great grandmothers name was also Maria Luigia. She was married to a Grippo before marrying his cousin.....last name Monetta. Since they are all from Pietragalla, there must be an association.

CORRECTION....my great grandmother was a Monetta, married a De Bonis and came to America with the Pafundi's. The Stattuto's were mentioned though I am not sure if they were cousins or not. All lived in the Troy NY area at one time or another.

On a passanger list, Maria Luigia is shown as coming over with Rosatonia...I nevre knew what that meant. She is shown as the Stepmother to Pauol and Salvatore. Her daughters names are Maria Teodosia and Carmela Rose. Quite interesting. My Maria Luigia was born abt. 1884.

I just read your post - sorry mine is 3 years later!!
My husband's great grandfather was A. (Antonio?) Pafundi, married to Mary DeBonis (which may have been Americanized from Maria). I know their names from a marriage licence for their son, Michael. He was born in about 1897-1890, probably in Italy. Apparently, they died, because he was living with relatives in 1900. He lived with Tony and Francis Pafundi. Interestingly, there was a neighboring family named Debondes (DeBonis?).

My Pafundi relatives are from Troy. Michael Pafundi, parents were A. Pafundi and Mary DeBonis. They died I think sometime before 1900 because Michael lived with a cousin or second cousin, listed on the 1900 census. Any connection for you?
All I know about Michael is that he married Elizabeth Brown in 1912 and lived in Voorheesville, NY.

There must be a family connection. The names Pafundi and DeBonis are familiar to me. It is my understanding that they are cousins to my grandmother. My relatives lived in North Troy (Lansingburg).

The DeBonis's names I remember hearing are:
Teddy and Salvatore. I can't remember first names for the Pafundi's.

I'll check with my father and see if he's got any additional information.

My parents are Carl (Canio) Statuto and my mother is Jennie (nee Buccino) Statuto. My parents did have twins - fraternal a boy Donald and me Carol aka Cassie. We just returned from Pietragalla where we still have relatives. I remember Zio Saluzzi very well - he was a tailor - fine suits.
