Donad(Donato)Tozzi family from Benevento

Looking for Donat/Donad/Donato Tozzi and his wife Giovannini/Juanina from Benevento, Italy.

He emigrated around 1888 and she followed in 1895.
They had children: Angelo, Mary, Angelina/Annie, Frank, and Peter Francis.

I'm trying to find out where exactly in Italy they came from.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I hope you are still interested in your research in the Benevento town area!
My name is Alessandro Bovino and I'm writing from Benevento, the town where I was born and I'm still living in. I've been passionate of genealogy for almost 4 years now, but I couldn't read your post before, as I've been using these Ancestry boards since few weeks.

Well, if you wish, I would like to tell you I would be very glad to be of help in your research!
This wouldn't be the first time for me to do a research on commission. Currently I'm in fact also conducting a research in Apollosa for an Australian whose father comes from there.
Being an amateur genealogist, I never asked him to pay specific charges for my work, though sometimes he does so at his will.
So far I've traced back to mid-XVII century, and I hope this could be done with your family as well!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Kind regards,

Alessandro Bovino

Hello Alessandro,

I would very much appreciate any help you can give me.
Unfortunately, I don't have much to go on. I am doing research on my family tree for a friend - his tree - and I discovered that his great-great-grandparents
Donad(Donate)Tozzi (born about 1855)and Juanina(Giovannini)Tozzi (born about 1858)

That's all I know about them, other than it is stated that they were from Benevento on the 1930 census of their daughter Angelina.

They had the following children:
Angelo (b. 1879)
Mary (b. 1883)
Angelina (b. 1887)
Frank Alfonse (b. 1888)
Peter(Pietro)Francis (b. 1899)

That's all I know!
I'm not really sure if you can find anything with that information. Would you require payment to do a quick search for Donad/Donate and Juanina/Giovannini?

Please let me know, as this is not my tree.
Thank you!

Cathy

Hello Cathy,
thank you so much for your answer! I do apologize to get back to you a bit late.

I'm an amateur genealogist and I provide assistance on little commission fees (per researching hour), but I always haggle over prices with people who ask for help, as far as every single research has got different needs and goals.

In your case, I think the information you've got may be enough for me. I've actually had a look on the online database for military records (time period: 1870-1935), which are kept in the State Archives in Benevento:

http://archiviodistatobenevento.beniculturali.it/ruoli/searc...

and I've been able to find an Angelo Tozzi born January 18th 1878, which could match with the information you've been given by your friend. I should have an on-site check about his parents to be sure he's the right person to start from.
If this be the case, Angelo Tozzi birth place was Reino, Benevento province.

Yet I actually don't know whether you would like me to go as further back as possible, or perhaps you would like to know about distant cousins still living in Reino.

Whatever your decision, I hope to be soon researching this interesting family history!

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kindest regards,

Alessandro

Hello Allesandro,

The Angelo Tozzi in my friend's family tree was born on April 16th, 1879 and emigrated to America around 1895 (age 16), and therefore would not have any military records in Italy. So, unfortunately, that web site would not be helpful.

I will check with my friend and determine if he wishes to pay you for your research service and I will let you know!

Cathy

Hello,
I hope you're doing very well! Since it's been some days I've not heard from you, I was wondering whether you are still interested in this family history research.
As to what I stated in my previous reply, I do hope you were not disappointed by my proposals, that was not my intention at all.

Looking forward to hearing back from you soon,
kindest regards
