Iorio from Villa Santo Stefano, Italy, to Wilkes-Barre, PA

Posted: 5 Jul 2006 7:27PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Iorio, Bruni, Bruno, Melfi, Melf, Sebastiani, Sebastiano
I am hoping that someone here will have some information that will tie into my family tree...

My great-grandfather Cesare Bruni married Amelia Iorio. They had three children that I'm aware of (there could be more). My grandfather, Giuseppe (born in 1891), his brother Umberto (born in 1894), and his sister Maria (born in 1899). Giuseppe came to the US and settled in Wilkes-Barre, PA. The ship's manifest said that his destination was the home of his brother-in-law Andrea Sebastiani (Sebastiano?). I'm guessing that this is Maria's husband, but that's a pure guess. My grandfather changed his named to Joseph Bruno. He married Theresa Melf (born in Wilkes-Barre, but HER parents were born in Italy).

I recently was able to get a copy of the Villa Santo Stefano birth records for Giuseppe, Umberto, and Maria. Based on what I've been able to translate, Cesare was born about 1867. I haven't yet figured out when Amelia was born.

Do these names "ring a bell" for anyone? If so, please let me know. I have no other information on my great-grandmother's family and I really want to be able to fill in that branch of the tree.

Thanks in advance!!
