Mary Ann, I have an aunt Amelia Potalivo Gattis. Her father's name was Vincenzo and her mother's maiden name was Felicetta Di Pinto. They resided in the Tacony section of the city of Philadelphia. I believe they migrated there in the early twenties, because my aunt was born in Italy and I will be going to her 80th birthday party on April 9 (1920). If this is familiar get in touch. My e-mail address is L_IACONO@HOTMAIL.COM

I believe my grandfather, Salvatore Potalivo, was Giuseppe's son. They came to the US together around 1911 and lived in Philadelphia. Salvatore is my mother's father and I am trying to find out about him.

My grandfather's (Charles Potalivo Sr) father came to philidelphia, I'm not sure when, but my grandfather was the first of his siblings born in the US, being in his 70's now, he may be related. If you are still interested, please email me

Charles: Vincent Potalivo was related to my great grandfather. I think he was Guiseppe's nephew. I have been in touch with a couple of people in Vincent's family, but have not heard from them in a while. Please email me and we can compare notes.

Vincent was my great grandfather. Tacony section is correct, i'd have to ask my grandfather (charles a potalivo sr) about it. I am only 20 yo so I don't know to omuch about Vincent Potalivo, he died when i was only 10 or so. I will try to find out more so we can compare notes. I'm much interested in finding about where he came from in italy, etc. This is why I was searching around for Potalivo.
