Alfonso, Alphonso, Alfonse of St.Bernard & New Orleans

gsmylife654 — 2009-07-30 01:43:48Z

I am looking for information on a Victoria Alfonso born about 1838 who was married to a James Haley. They had three children,James, Caroline and Arthur William. In the 1910 Census for Arthur they say that His mother was born in Ireland and his father was born in Louisiana. But in 1920 Census they have both parents born in Louisiana. I was able to find a Victoria Alfonse in St. Bernard Parish Census for 1850 and she is 12 years old. Which would be about right. Her father was Francoise Alfonse and the mother was Josephine. If anyone has any info I would appreciate it. I was just trying to see if I am on the right track. Thanks. Ann

Christina,
My Great Grandfather was Jacinto Alfonso, married to

My great grandfather was Jacinto Alfonso.
He brought his family from Cuba to Key West Florida around
1884. My grandfather was Armando Mario Alfonso. Some of the
family still live in Key West, I live in the Upper Keys.
Does any of this sound familiar?

Hi Linda,
My maiden name is Alfonso also, and from family history and research I discovered that the Spanish conquistadors invaded Sicily and some of them stayed and married the sicilian women and hence the name came to Italy. They were Castilians. The name is from the noble families of Spain, Naples and Sicily. I have come across other Alfonso's and we seem to all have similar "looks".
best wishes,
Joan

My great grandmother's name was Rosa Maria Alfonso. She lived on Havana Street in Havana Cuba. She married a man with the last name of Kimball and the family moved to Mobile Alabama. She had 2 children. Rose and Frank Kimball. Rose later resided in Pensacola Florida and Frank moved to Oregon or Washington. If you have any info on Rosa. The name of Wells is also significant but I don't know if this was Rosa's Mother's maiden name.

Hi I have read your message I am trying to trace a Joseph Alfonso who attended I think the New York Medical School and then came to England in WW2 and served either at a base or Hospital near Huntingdon Cambridge, England, I think his mother's name would have been Marie, I also think there has some connection with Chicago. Sorry this seems to look like a needle in a haystack, but if any of this rings a "bell" with you please contact me B19Morris@aol.com.

Alfonso - New Orleans

chrisbeddows — 2006-05-16 09:51:11Z

I am researching the Alfonso family from New Orleans. Ignacio Alfonso was born in Cuba in February 1865. He migrated to New Orleans in 1883 and married Marie Caroline DELBERT on 21 October 1891. They had seven children, but not all survived to adulthood. Of those who survived, Hector Anthony (Tony) Alfonso, born April 2 1896 served with the USAAF in England and died there on November 6 1943. Achilles Alfonso, born July 27 1897 died in June 9 1945. Achilles was married to Carmen (Bellini) Alfonso who died December 23 2001. They had a daughter Magda Alfonso. Any information on this family, in particular Tony (Hector), would be welcome.

That sounds like my family's story. My grandfather is from Mayaguez and was born in 1918 to Jose Alfonso. His mother was much younger than his father. I don't know a lot about them. Does any of that sound familiar though?

Alfonso from Havana, Cuba

jfrazie1_1 — 2005-12-21 12:15:29Z

Looking for information on the Alfonso family of Havana, Cuba. My gg-grandfather was Pedro Joaquin Alfonso y de la Torre. He married Maria Loreto de la Cuesta y Valdes. Pedro's parents were Pedro Alfonso y Paredes and Rosario de la Torre y Alfonso.

Re: Alfonso ...spanish or italian???

thealfonsos — 2005-05-18 02:13:13Z

Linda, Alfonso is both a Spanish and an Italian last name. Though by far in the States, it is mostly recognized by Spanish people. In Spain, Alfonso is also a last name. The Borbon Dynasty of kings (House of Bourbon, France) had several King Alfonso for Spain, the last one being Alfonso XIII who was sent into exile in the 1930's. Though somewhat confusing, the same seems to occur with the last name Acosta. I went to school with an Italian girl surnamed Acosta, but my husband's great-grandmother was born in Puerto Rico with that last name.

I figure if we could all go back far enough, we'd end up with Noah and his wife, then Adam and Eve.

Happy genealogy hunting!

Re: Alfonso from the canary islands

There were, at least, two brothers Alfonso, who settled in the area of Hatillo, Puerto Rico in 1850. They came from San Miguel, Tenerife, where I founf all his ancestors. They has a huge amount of descendants I wonder if related to yours. It is interesting that they modified the surname as ALFONZO.

Things are good. Personally, I´m doing very well. I´ve been doing a lot of travelling lately to recharge my batteries. I´ve been all over Spain, to the US and I´m going to France next weekend. Travelling is so good for the soul.

As far as my family goes, well, family is family and I guess you gotta love them even when they are not so nice. I´ve got a younger sister that can be really nasty sometimes. She acts like she´s good but she´s got a lot of anger, hate and jealousy in her heart. That must be terrible to wake up with every day. I pray for her.

Glad to hear that Uncle Frankie is doing well. You can tell him that I´m doing well too. Tell him that his brother, my father, hasn´t changed a bit. I had a good trip home recently and I was really amazed at how some people never change. The only changes I saw in my dad is that he´s losing his short-term memory.

Louisiana Alfonso, Alphonse, D'Alphonse

wraetlic — 2004-07-26 18:13:02Z

In St. Bernard and New Orleans there appears to have been Alfonsos since at least the early ninteen century. If anyone knows anything about them I'd love to hear it. I suspect they are either Portugese, Spanish or Italian, and that their names shifted towards French versions the longer they were around, hence developing in some instances to D'Alphonse.

In particular I'm looking for Josephine D'Alphonse, born early to mid ninteenth century, married a Francois Monfort/ Montfaucon/ Montfalen probably in the 1850s. Moved to Mexico during the French occupation under Maximilian, then to Galveston where she married Joseph Kubbler/ Kipler. 1880 US census has both her parents born in LA.

Thanks for any and all help, please send help,
