Researching the Pro family in Ferentino, Italy. Founder may have been named Gregorio or Francesco Pro.
HIs sons were Raimondo, Domenico, Stefano, Antonio and Giacomo. He also had a daughter but I do not have her name.
I also do not know who he married.
Any help with this surname greatly appreciated.

I, too, am researching the PRO family from Italy. The ancestor I have information on is Louis Pro. I believe he was born in France but he lived in Italy and his wife (Mary or Maria) was Italian. Mary Pro immigrated to the US in 1911 and was listed on the ship's manifest as a widow. If there's any chance our Pro lines are connected, I'd love to share information with you.

I have not seen a Louis in the research my cousin did thus far. Do you know where Louis lived in Italy? All of my Pro side of the family to my knowledge came from Ferentino.

I don't know where Louis lived in Italy but his widow and children were born in Traversello (not sure of the spelling) and lived in Torino. They all departed from the port of Havre when they emmigrated in the very early 1900's.

Yes, the surname is also from Ferentino.
My grandfather was Francesco Pro, 3 of his brothers and one sister went to the States in 1900, in New Jersey and Philadelphia.
Francesco's father was Prudenzio.

My father was born in Supino, Italy. His name was Elio Pro and my grandfather's name was Manfredo Pro. I still have an aunt in Supino named Malena and I also have an aunt in Buffalo, NY named Antoinette. I would love to know more information about my family, the PRO family. I know there are more Pro's in the United States, but I always wondered if the name was shortened or not. My last name was not shortened when my father came to America and now my family name rests upon my son and future son's to pass along.

My maiden name is Corsi. My grandmother's maiden name is Pro. She has passed but she has a niece in Buffalo named Antoinette, her parents were Aldo and Loretta Pro, both have passed. I am wondering if this is the same Antoinette. Our family is so small and we have very few living members on the Italian side. Please let me know if there is a connection. I can't remember Antoinette's husbands name but can find out.

I just remembered my great grandfather was Archangelo Pro, he came over with my grandmother Marietta Pro (his daughter) from Supoino Italy through Ellis Island in the early 1900's. The rest of the family came later.
