Jbogle 4422, Do you have proof of their marriage?? I have information that they were in the habit of not registering their children, and sending them away, under the name of Sigismondi; as per my grandmother Emma and her sister Filomena, and their son Giovanni, and their daughter Maria. What church or registry have you found which may help? I am still baffeled at the Compobasso connection rather than Castelguidone, Chieti, unless the (counties) or communes were so named at the time. I understand we are talking about a 72 room manor house that was used by the village while the local church was being built! I have dates for some of the children. Is Gerando a translation for Gennaro? I have this on a document. But I assure you the connection with the baroness is right on target for my family give or take some spelling. Please excuse my exuberance, but I have been searching for a while and you are the first hit in a long search. I can't wait to hear from you.
