Hi: My maiden name was Mildred Pitassi. I am trying to find out the exact day my Father, Paul Pitassi came to America. He was born in 1887 and died in 1955. He owned a grocery store in Pittsburgh. I remember he said that he came here when he was very young. He was born in Atelata in the Province of A'Quila. I have logged on to Ellis Island and cannot find his name listed under our correct spelling or other spellings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there. I am researching the Pitassi's as well. My husband is a Pitassi from Pittsburgh. His Grandfather Giuseppe Pitassi immigrated from Ateleta in 1913 and went to Bloomfield. I have some information on the Pitassis, but not much. Many came to Pittsburgh. I would love to tie you into our line. Maybe if we trade information we can fill in some holes. I don't know of a Paul (yet) but I have names of a few siblings of Giuseppe's that immigrated too (but there could be more). If you'd like to trade information please don't hesitate to e-mail me at lpitassi@earthlink.net.

Thanks!

Mildred,

I was scanning the web and came across your ancestry search from 2003. The thing that caught my eye was that my mother Mary Pitassi, also married a Martino (Philip). They were born here in America. However, their parents who migrated to America around 1902 previously lived in the area of Foggia, Italy. I am not sure if there is any relationship, but thought that it was kind of ironic. Once in America they lived in Chicago and later moved to California in the 1930's.
