My Family

I created this blog to keep track of my family history research. I do most of my research online.

The Francis name is my husband's which was originally Francisco from Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal. He also has ancestors from Sweden and England. So far, I have found that my family has come from Italy, England, French Canada, Scotland, and Ulster Ireland (Scotch Irish).

I have also taken a DNA test, which shows mostly Italian, but also England and France.

pompeo updates part 6 (amedio's second great grandparents)

My last posts went through Amedio Pompeo's great grandparents, now it is time to look at his second great grandparents; which are:
  1. Raffaele Pompeo and Felicia d'Angelo : Between the years 1866-1928, there were only two children listed in the death records in Torre de Passeri for Raffaele Pompeo and Felicia d'Angelo.  The oldest son of Amedio's 2nd great grandparents is Domenico Antonio Pompeo(Amedio's great grandfather), the younger son would be Amedio's second great uncle, Carminantonio.  Both sons were born, and died, in Torre de Passeri.  Their father, Raffaele, also was born in Torre de Passeri, and died there at the age of 81 in 1880.  I was unable to locate their mother Felicia d'Angelo's death record, which must have occurred before 1866. (before this year records are not available online at this time)
  2. Pasquale Caldarelli and Giovanna di Bartolomeo : Another set of Amedio's second great grandparents, Pasquale Caldarelli and Giovanna di Bartolomeo, also lived their lives in Torre de Passeri.  They had four children, all daughters, that I could find in the Italian death records online.  Both Pasquale and Giovanna lived a long life, Pasquale died in 1867 at the age of 70, and Giovanna died four years later in 1871 at the age of 80.
  3. Giambattista Cappola and Fedele di Constantino : Amedio's third set of second great grandparents on the Pompeo line, Giambattista Cappola and Fedele di Constantino, had two sons that I found in the Italian death records online.  Their oldest son, Paolo, lived until he was 93 years old.  Theses sons lived their lives in Torre de Passeri, just like most of Amedio's ancestors.  I am guessing that Giambattista and Fedele also lived and died in Torre de Passeri, but they must have died before 1866 as I could not find either of them in the death records after that date. 
  4. Ferdinando di Bartolomeo and Francesca di Domenico : The last set of second great grandparents on Amedio's paternal Pompeo side are Ferdinando di Bartolomeo and Francesca di Domenico.   They had at least four children, three girls and one boy, all born and died in Torre de Passeri.  The oldest was Amedio's great grandmother Donata Gaetana di Bartolomeo.  There is a large gap of about 11 years between the second and third daughters, so it is likely Ferdinando and Francesca had more children that may have died at a young age.  Francesca died in 1869 at the age of 77.  Her death record states she is a widow, so her husband Ferdinando died before 1869.  His death record is not online, so Ferdinando probably died before 1866.
  5. Lorenzo Gagliardi and Benedetta d'Innacenzo : Amedio's first set of second great grandparents on his maternal Gagliardi line is Lorenzo Gagliardi and Benedetta D'Innacenzo.  The Italian death records online show that Lorenzo and Benedetta had only one child, Amedio's great grandfather Domencio Antonio Gagliardi.  The may have had more children that died before 1866, as these records are not available online at this time.  The deaths of Lorenzo and Benedetta also must have occurred before 1866, probably in Torre de Passeri. 
  6. Cristofaro de Novellis and Marianna Ciavarro : Another set of Amedio's second great granparents on his maternal Gagliardi line are Cristofaro De Novellis and Mariann Ciavarro.  They had at least three children that showed up in the Italian death records online, a son and two daughetrs.  All of their children lived in Torre de Passeri.  Cristofaro and Marianna probably died before 1866, as their deaths are not in the online records after this date. 
  7. unkown and unknown (parents of Angelo Sante di Lorenzo)
  8. Guiseppe di Rico and Guiseppa Delgenzo : The last set of second great grandparents on Amedio's maternal line are Guiseppe di Rico and Guiseppa Delgenzo.  The death records in Torre de Passeri show they had at least three daughters, all born in the neighboring town of San Valentino.  These daughters eventually moved to Torre de Passeri, possibly after their parents died.  One daughter, Francesca, never married, but probably lived with her sister Maria Giacinta, as Francesca's death record states she died at Maria's house.  According to their daughters' death records, Guiseppe and Guiseppa lived their lives in San Valentino.  They both died before 1868, when their daughter Francesca's death record states they are deceased.
