Hi, I am searching for my roots too. The family name is Pepe. My grandfather, Frank, changed the spelling to Peppi. My great grandparents were David and Amelia Pepe who said they were from Rome. We are all from NJ. Perhaps you have more info than I do. Thanks.

My Granfather's name was Frank Pepe, he died in 1920 his six children became orphans. Five of the six moved to Northern Calif in the late forties. There are alot of Pepe's in the SF calif phone book most of them related to me. My Grandfather died in Staten Island NY. I grew up in Bklyn NY and my brother I moved to NJ. I do know their was a famous General Pepe(from Naples) under Garibaldi during the reunification.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for getting back to me. My grandfather's name was Frank - his mother's name was Amelia and his father's name was David Pepe. My grandfather died in Metuchen, NJ around 1952 - he was 39. I know that Amelia and David were immigrants - but they say they were from Rome. Our family did not keep good records.

My father Earle Pepe was from Pasac NJ he was in 1911. Sometime in his childhood he was left at a Catholic Church. Before his death in 1998 he wanted to go back to Pasac to track his roots but unfortanely his health deterated so that idea went to hault. He was Italian for sure. I'm not sure if this will in your search, but I wish you the best.

My mother Karen Pepe (put up for adoption) was born in Passaic, NJ (1953). Her mother's name was Irene Pepe. I believe Irene's father's name was Frank or Francesco. Unfortunately, because my mother was adopted, it is very difficult to track (I don;t have any dates).
I just thought the Passaic/Pepe & adoption coincidence was worth noting.

My grandparents were Pasquale Pepe and Rosa Grillo. Pasquale's mother is Anna La Bianca from Capruso, Bari, Italy. I visited there a few years agao and found the remains of Anna. Both Pasquale and Rosa died in the 1920's ,I believe, leaving 8 orphans: Joe, Jan, Tony, Nancy, Angelina, Clara and Rocco..: My mother Philomena Pepe is deceased as are all of her siblings. I have been unable to find where Rosa Grillo was from in Italy. I suspect she met Pasquale around the Wind Gap area.
