Hi Tom,
We MUST be related. My grandmother is Nicoletta Iezzi, born in Turrivalignani in 1898 to Angelina Iezzi. Here is my stopping point. We can not find were Angelina was married or not and have no idea what her maiden name might be if Iezzi was her married name. Once here in the US Angelina married my thought to be grand father, Camelo Mancini. They went on to have 4 more children.
Nicoletta was married to my maternal grand father Camillo DiLallo, at the age of 14. My grand father was 21 at the time.
Nicoletta went on to have 8 daughters, my mother was her 6th. My Aunt Phyllis, the oldest of the daughters married John Fezzi and we later learned they were 5 times removed as cousins and their marriage had to be approved by the priest in their parish.
The only possible connection to the Fezzi surname is our Iezzi surname but I am having a very hard time finding ancestry. You are the first I have seen with both names and also from the same area as my grandmother.
If you can help me in any way I would be very grateful.
Thank you in advance, please contact me at my private e-mail of
