They lived in Alife but came from Alvigano these are the Isabella's I am researching. If anyone would like to discuss this please contact me.

Hi John, My name is Joanne (Isabella) Conte. My dad came from Alife in 1923. His dad was Costantino Isabella and his mom was Maria Martello. He came to New Castle PA and stayed with a relative named Salvatore Isabella. My dad's grandparents were Giovanni Isabella and Filomena De Lorenzo. My dad married my mom Giovanina Palmieri who was born in Connecticut, but whose parents also came from Alife. After marrying my mom, they moved to the Bronx where I believe that my dad said he had 2 uncles (I think Tomaso and Giuseppe.) I don't know all the particulars, since my mom and dad had their first 4 children young and then they had me in their 40's, so I heard all the stories second hand! Good luck with your research, but I do think that we are related! I also know that there are Isabella's in Long Island, Staten Island and Connecticut.

hI,
Actually, my paternal great-grandparents were Giovanni Isabella and Filomena DeLorenzo. My paternal grandparents were Maria Martello and Costantino Isabella. My dad was Antonio Isabella who came from Alife in 1923. He stayed with an uncle Giuseppe Isabella in the Bronx. Was he your great-grandfather?

Have a happy 4th!

Hello Yes Giuseppe who was married to Enrichetta Martello was my Great Partent...they did first live in the Bronx before moving to New Castle Pa I would like to find out about Constantino... I show Giovanni Isabella and Filomena DiLorenzo (my great great Grand parents) had the following children: Maddeline, Giuseppi(my Great Grand Father) Tommaso, Vennata, James and Salvatore..But this is a guess from my uncles. Can you help me? Giuseppe married Enrichetta Martello and I know she had family that came here too ...so maybe Maria Martello was a sister? But yes I believe they are the same ..can you help? I would love to tie this all together! Do you have any pictures? I have a picture of Giuseppe Isabella and Enrichetta Martello on my family tree. Do you have a tree I can see? his is so exciting. Also are you related to Isabella carting in NYC?

Hi! I actually met Vennata in Italy in 1960 when I visited Alife with my parents. My dad told me that she was my grandfather Costantino's sister. Her married surname was Melillo and her son Andrea actually came to America around the same time as my dad and lived in Shirley, LI, NY. Salvatore was the uncle in New Castle who called for my dad, Antonio, in 1923. It is quite possible that my grandfather and your great-grandfather were married to sisters? My dad kept in touch with his cousin Sisto Martello. They lived in Long Island as well. He and his wife died, and we have lost contact. At one time a John Isabella, I believe that his dad was Tommaso Isabella visited us. His family lived in Queens, NY.
Yes, I am related to Isabella Carting. The business was my dad's (Antonio) and my brother Constantino(changed the spelling a bit!) and his son John Isabella run it!

I don't have a family tree, and just one picture of my grandparents, (Costantino and Maria), but I will have to ask my kids how to attach it!

By the way, I have come across a cartoonist by the name of Tony Isabella who does work for Marvel. I know he has to be related. In addition, I actually have some cousins in Montreal, so we are all over.
