I am looking for the Isabella and Martello surnames coming out of Caserta Italy. My great grandfather Giuseppe (Joseph) Isabella came over in the mid/late 1890s, returned to Italy and then brought his family over in 1900. His wife Reggetta Martello Isabella and his elder son, Joseph, arrived in New York in 1900 and in that same year my grandfather, George Isabella. was born. The family resettled in the New Castle / West Pittsburg area. George was married to Ethel Means Isabella and they had four living children, Eugene, June, Regetta, Joseph. Any information regarding this side of my family would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Catherine, I am just beginning my family research and I have come along Guiseppe Isabella's name. I believe he had a son or brother named Pasquale that was married to my g-g-g-aunt and her name was Cristina Cacciolfi.She came here from Caserta as well in 1909. And she and an Isabella(??) had 4 children that she brought over with her they were Pasquale, Antoinetta, Maria and Concetta ( they must be twins). They came to Ellis Island in May of 1909 and their destination was Cleveland Ohio. If you have any information on Cristina and who she married I would greatly appreciate anything you might have where this is the start for me and I will share with you any information I may have about Guiseppe that you might be looking for. Thank you in advance~~Joelle

Hi Catherine, I am sorry I got a little info mixed up in the first reply..lol My g-g-g aunt was married to a Guiseppe he first came here in 1896 at age 15 and came back again in 1908 at age 27. His father Pasquale lived in Cleveland Ohio. Both Cristina Cacciolfi (aunt) and Guiseppe were born in Caserta. I am looking to see if this is a link to your side of the family..if you have any information to share I would greatly appreciate anything you have..thank you in advance ~~Joelle

I am writing on behalf of my husband's family. Joseph and Regetta Martello Isabella are my husband's great-grandparents. My husband's cousin is visiting this weekend and had an obit showing their names. I searched "Regetta Martello, Caserta, Italy" and you popped up. Please contact me if you get this.

Hi Izzy, I am Catherine's brother Gene (Eugene). Unfortunately my sister passed in 2008. It was unexpected and I miss her, she was my best friend. But to continue with "our" tree. Please contact me and we can move forward. I'm sure now we are related. On the other side of my coin is my mother's family mostly in Florida (Shackelford). But that's another story. :-P
