Hello,
Thank you for the wonderful website.
I'm looking for information on my Great-Grandfather.
His name is Carmine Mirabelli.
Born abt 1860.
Came to America in 1889 or 1898... different on documents.
He listed Parenti as is origin.
There was a mention of Cerise as well in conversations with my Dad. Could that be Cerisano?
We are Calabrase so that would tell me the Calabria area.
He married:
Anna Gallucci
We know nothing about her. She died when my Grandfather was 2. So, we figure she died about 1905 or 1906. No one knows where she is even buried.
I want to find my Great Grandfather's roots, birth, marriage, etc. That should lead me to his parents and Ann Gallucci's family.
He did remarried a woman Theresa who immigrated to America in 1906.

I am not sure if this will go anywhere, but i'm praying for someone to lead me in the right direction.

I also would like to find my Grandmother's Mother.
Angeline Maletta
Supposedly from the San Lucia area. Is that in the Bianchi area?
She was born abt 1884 and came to America in 1897 when she was 13, already married to Chiodo!
She married my Great Grandfather Guiseppe Chiodo

Thank you so much for your time,
Kathleen Marbella
