Was New Rochelle, NY a common place for Italian Immigrants from San Fili to go to? It's strange because my Lio g-grandfather went there, where his wife and toddler joined him. Their 5 daughters were born there including my grandma Jenny. They left because a woman's head was found on one of the neighbor's mailboxes...ick. Went to Plainfield, NJ after that and stayed there until the last decade or so... ANnie

Annie, welcome to Gente. Oh my! A womans head in a mailbox! How horrible! There were plenty of San Filese in Chicago too.
I see you are researching Chiapetta's in Rende - you have your work cut out for you! So many Chiapetta's there! There are also a lot in Marano Marchesato and surrounding towns including my grandfather's town of Montalto Uffugo. If we can help, let us know.
