Hi to all the Gioia's out there. I'm interested in finding my great great grandparents on my grandmother's side. This is what I know:
My grandparents: Antonio Anfuso b.1907 married Rosaria Gioia b.1908 in 1928 in Tunis, Tunisia her parents are:
Giuseppe(Joseph)Gioia b.1882 married Marianna Pisciotta b.1888 in 1905 in Tunis, Tunisia, Apparently the Gioia's originated from Castellamare del Golfo, Sicily. Rumor was an uncle needed warm weather and they moved to Tunis with a lot of other italians. I have found at least 20 other Gioias married in Tunis but don't know how or if they are related. Also looking for relatives of my grandfather, his parents were Archangelo Anfuso married to Illuminata Luca about 1900 both are buried in Tunis. Would appreciate any help

I realize that this is late, Giuseppe & Marianna were my grandparents. They moved to Tunis for a better life, since there were no opportunities in Sicily. I do not remember hearing about Archangelo, but I will ask my Father. Good luck

Hi Marianna thanks for replying. so are you Francesco's daughter?? Rosaria (Sarah) was my grandmother. I think they called Arcangelo just Angelo.
I am trying to find out guiseppe's mothers name. Also do you know if they were also born in castellammare del golfo?
I will gratefully take any date information you have about any of your relatives. The more dates the easier to research them. Getting harder to get any accurate info from my dad and his cousin Anita as they get older.
Sorry to ramble just so excited to find another relative on here. You can also email me at jmferranti@optonline.net.
