Dear Phyllis we have to be cousins. How are you!!! My great grand father Antonio Monti came from Ischia, Italy in the 1890s with his wife. Her maiden name was Mattera. They resided in the town of Lacco Ameno on the Island of Ischia off the coast of Italy across from Naples. They brought with them his son from first marriage and her son from first marriage. Her first husband was a DiSpigna. He dead at sea. In America they had three other children: a daughter who dead in infancy, my grandfather Anthony Monti and his brother. My grandfather had one child my father Raymond Anthony Monte. Please contact me cousin. It appears that our ancestors were kin and possible came into this country on the same boat. I have my great grandparents marriage certificate from Naples. I also have family photographs some of family from Ischia and I have a post card from family in Ischia from the town of Lacco Ameno. I hope you get this. How exciting. I know reside in Charlotte, North Carolina. We have family in New York and Kentucky. Hope to hear from you soon.
