What a wonderful collection of family history!  My parents, from Pizzoni, emigrated to Toronto, Canada in the early 50's.  My maiden name is Donato.  Could we be related?

Hi Tom,
 
It's  so nice to hear from you.  Actually one of my sister's name's is Caterina Donato.  Our Donato line in Pizzoni goes back to at least 150 years ago as well (as far as I know).  Two of the streets in Pizzoni were named after my father's uncles - Via Salvatore Donato and Via Giorgio Donato. I think they were war heroes.  My mother's maiden name was LaNeve.  Her mother's was LaCaria and on my father's side, his mother's maiden name was Monardo. There are Macri, Alemanni, Francica, Maida, Pittimada and Arena in the family as well.  As both my parents are now  deceased, it's a pity I can't ask them any further questions.  I still have a cousin who lives in Pizzoni.  I visited Pizzoni twice, the last time being in 1980.  I guess it's time I went back for another visit!
 
Keep in touch!

My Grandfather, Domenico, emigated from Vallelonga in 1904.  After a brief stay in Pennsylvania and other states east of the Mississippi, he came west to Utah where he worked for the Union Pacific Railroad. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this site.

All the old family names from Vazzano are great to see recorded here. My father Domenico De Grano was born in Vazzano and now lives in Toronto, Canada. His father lived in Braddock,PA around the 1930's.
My grandfather on my mothers side, Antonino Scida lived in Johnsonburg, PA from 1915 to 1933. Great site !
