Re: Searching for present and past Family
hello,
i saw your posting and just wanted to let you know that many Totani's from L'Aquila live in Pennsylvania, specifically Lansford and Allentown area. My grandfather was born in L'Aquila and came to the US about 55 years ago. When you have finished compiling your list, i would like to see it. If you need any further information i am glad to help.

Re: Searching for present and past Family
Are you still searching for past Totani family members? I have a name of a person in the United States who can provide you with genealogy reports (at no cost) for Totani that can go back as far as 1800s. The bulk of the Totani came from Roio Piano, provinca di L'Aquila.

Hi Lina,
What city do you reside in Australia? I assume the Totani surname you refer to are those that came from Roio Piano, L'Aquila. Are you still searching for past Totani family members connected to your family? I have a contact in the United States that can provide you with genealogy reports (at no cost) for Totani that can go as far back as 1800s. ALL the data in the reports enclosed for Roio Piano are from actual civil records filmed from the originals held in the archives of Italy.

Hi my name is Maurice Marinelli, my grand father was Rocco Totani from Roio L'Aquila - i believe from memory that he was one of 12 or 13 children. Many left Italy and ended up in America - i think around Pennsylvania - Lansford, Nesquehonning (not sure whether the spelling is correct). My Grand father came to Australia. Maybe this helps a little or maybe not at all. His wife (my grand mother) was Anna Di Carlo. Maurice

Re: Searching for present and past Family
I'd love to see the Totani family tree - but i also sadly notice that your post is 5 years old. I am Maurice Marinelli, grand son of Rocco Totani from Roio L'Aquila. Maurice

Hi Maurice, only found your post a while ago. I hope you get this and reply back as I know precisely who your grandparents were. We came to visit them from Adelaide in 1967....looking foward to hearing from you...cheers...Lina
