When was your Andera Ivaldi born?
My Andrea Ivaldi was born 12 Jan 1852 (not sure where he was born) married Leonina Giovanna Tassistro. My Andrea "Drea" Ivaldi came to the United States in Feb 1898. His wife Leonina was killed in a buggy accident in Italy. If you want more information email me.
LDS records have his father as Giovanni Ivaldi (NOT PROVEN by me) and his mother as Margherita ? (NOT PROVEN by me)
Three of Andrea "Drea" Ivaldi's children followed him to California. They are Emilio Jul 1898; Attilio came in 1902; and Emma F. Ivaldi.
My Andrea and Leonina Giovanna Tassistro's girls all attended the Sisters of Benedictine boarding school. I have yet to find out where my grandfather Attilio and his brother Emilio attended school in Italy. My grandfather said the nuns rapped his knuckles so I know he attended a boys boarding school but just where I don't know. The girls all attended school with the Sisters of Benedictine in Italy.
Here are the known children of Andrea "Drea" Ivaldi born 12 Jan 1852 and his wife Leoninia Giovanni Tassistro. They married on 12 Oct 1873 in Genova, Genova, Italy. Leonina's sister Rachele Colomba Tassistro married 12 Oct 1873 in Genova, Genova, Italy Luigi CAMPORA (LDS Records).
Leonina had another sister Luigia Tassistro. Their parents were Antonio Tassistro and her mother was Maddalena Lagustena. This is all in LDS Records and not proven by me.
