marriage of Orlando and Bommarito

DeborahYates72 — 2009-10-26 03:11:01Z

Does anyone have in their family Antonina Orlando(birth around 1885?)who married Giovanni Bommarito (year of birth 1885). Antonina's parents were Domenico Orlando and Antonina DiMaria?

Orlando / Paffumi from Novara di Sicilia

epaffumi1 — 2009-09-12 18:59:06Z

My grandfather, Carmelo Paffumi, married Maria Orlando and brought her to the US in 1914. Both were born in 1891, probably in Novara di Sicilia, Italy (Messina area of Sicily). They had 6 children born in the US (Adeline, Anthony, Ernest, Richard, Robert, Francis) and lived in Lorain, Ohio before Maria died in 1933.

Looking for any information on parents or siblings of either grandparent. Carmelo was also known as Charles, and had a sister living in Rome, Italy in the 1990's. Paffumi may have also been spelled Pafumi.

Hello,
My name is Josann. My father was an Orlando. His name was Joseph R. Orlando, born in Reading, pa. He had a brother named Lawrence and sisters named Roseanne, Jeannett and Mary. They were raised in a home in Reading were Alvernia College is located. His father and mother were Nicolas and Angelina Orlando. My great uncles were Antonio and Samuel Orlando. Most of whom are now deceased. We are also related to the Cipolla family. I believe we are also related to the Distasio family. I am very interested in finding my family roots. Do any of these people sound familiar?

Sal,

Giuseppi Orlando of Third Street in Reading was our (John Orlando and Eugene) grandfather. Ignatzio was his brother and Grazia (born July 30, 1896) was his sister. There were three other girls: Margareta (1886), Pasqua (1893), and Angela (1902). My brother and I are going to Caronia on July 19 for 9 days to research for a novel we are doing on Grandpa Giuseppe. Maybe we can exchange some family information to fill in some gaps.

Re: Orlando's in Queens

dorlando1960 — 2009-04-21 19:26:30Z

Phillip had 2 sons and I do not believe your faxts are correct about his other son that died in the war. I am Salvatore's son ( your uncle) and he had 2 sons. My borther Phillip II who died at age 34 and I have 2 sons, Dante and Salvatore II. Form what I know my 2 boy are the last of this blood line of Orlandos. your mom is my cousin and you have not seen me in years.

Re: Nicholas and Mary Orlando

kcmoroyals — 2009-01-23 16:09:34Z

Anna and Giuseppe were both married and out of the house by 1930. That's why you don't see them in the census with the rest of the family. Also, Anne and Charlie are still alive. Anne will be 92 in March. Charlie has alzheimer's. My Dad was born in 1919, and grew up with his Orlando aunts and uncles almost as brothers and sisters, due to the ages being so close. As to the English names, my Dad's parents named their children with Italian first names, and no middle names, then after Confirmation the child usually used English versions of his first name with the English confirmation name as the middle name. That's how my Dad went from Giovane to John Michael. By the way, before he died in 1982, he gave me the Italian names of all his Orlando aunts and uncles. Your grandfather was born "Onofrio". Thomas was probably his confirmation name. Please reply to my email, and we can compare notes.

Re: Nicholas and Mary Orlando

crystalizeddoubt — 2009-01-23 15:14:31Z

You had me confused when you said there son was Giuseppi, but your aunt emailed me and I know now that they are same. I found the 1930 census with all of them listed, but Maria is written as Mary, Nicolo as Nick, Carmelina as Millie, and my grandfather as Nick, Jr. (but his name is actually Nicholas Thomas Orlando - not Nicolo). This makes a lot of sense, I have aunts named Maria and Carmela! I replied to your aunt and I'm going to try and find some pictures to post online.

Re: Nicholas and Mary Orlando

crystalizeddoubt — 2009-01-23 14:39:30Z

My grandfather didn't have any brothers by that name, and his oldest sibling was a sister named Vera. I have met three of his brothers and sisters, but I was very young. There names are Vera, Anne, and Charlie. I believe Charlie was married to a lady named Connie. They all came down to visit when my grandfather passed away in 1997. As far as I know, all his other brothers and sisters had passed away at that point.

Nicholas and Mary Orlando

crystalizeddoubt — 2009-01-19 17:47:00Z

Nicholas and Mary Orlando are my great-grandparents. From what I know they immigrated to Passaic, NJ from Sicily, Italy. All of their children were born in Passaic, NJ. My grandfather, dad, and brother are all named after Nick Orlando. If anybody has any information about my great-grandparents family or my grandfather's family (who they married, etc.) - It would be greatly appreciated. You can email me at crystalizeddoubt@hotmail.com.

I've found all of his brother and sisters' names, but nothing else. I also do not know Mary's maiden name.

JenniferOrlandoRafferty — 2008-11-16 23:22:19Z

Trying to find relatives of my grandfather, Carmelo Orlando. He came from Curinga, Calabria. Was born in 1887 on July 16th. I don't know anything about his siblings or parents, except that his father's name was Bruno.

He came to the United States in 1909 on the S.S. Bretagne, port of Le Havre. The ship manifest says that his final destination was Wilkes-Barre, PA. He was going to stay with Guiseppe Tripedi, his cousin. Wilkes-Barre is where he lived until his death in 1937. He was accompanied by cousins and friends according to the ship manifest. These cousins and friends were listed as:

Francesco Curnado (son of Guiseppe Curnado)friend of Tripedi
Francesco Gigantino ( husband of Elizabetta Bianco)nephew of Tripedi
Francesco Tersano ( son of Nicola Tersano)cousin of Tripedi

There is a 4th person who was traveling to Wilkes-Barre , Pa, and his name was:

Franceso Fiore

This man was from the town of Tersale. His father-in-law was R. Salvatore and he lived on 117 State St. in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Have a great holiday!

Hi Marg,
I have no Chicago relatives either--all seem to be from NY, OH & PA.
I have a Vincenzo Orlando in my tree born in 1876, son of Felicantonio Orlando. I show Vincenzo with only one son--Anthony. Could he be your husband's ancestor?

Re: Menaldi/Orlando

2005-12-20 03:11:51Z

My husband's grandfather's name was Dominicangelo Orlando and his gr-grandfather's name was Vincenzo Orlando -- both from Agnone. However, we have no relatives in the Chicago area, nor did we ever. All the ancestors emigrated to British Columbia, Canada. I think I somehow got included in a Chicago list because I was answering someone else (a long time ago) from Chicago who had ancestors with the same names. No luck for either of us.

Re: Agnone and Chicago

2005-12-19 00:02:39Z

As far as I know, I don't have any Menaldis in my family line, but I don't go back quite as far as the 1700's, only about 1820. As I mentioned before, the name Orlando seems to have been very common in Agnone. I will keep your post in my file, though. You never know.

Ola V. Hale was born 1899 in Christian County, Missouri to William Alexander and Bessie(Payne) Hale. Ola married a man whose last name was "Orlando". Ola died in about 1958. At the time of her death, she was living with her sister, Mabel(Hale) Hall [Yes, her married name was "Hall] in Lee's Summit, Missouri. I would like to know her husband's married name. I would like to know if they had any children. Any info on her relatives would be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Re: Agnone and Chicago

bmontgomery — 2006-04-09 01:18:58Z

Marg,
Did your group of Orlandos go directly to Canada or were they anywhere in the United States before they migrated to Canada?
I am descended from the same Orlando family as Beth. Your names are similar to our Orlando line.
I agree with Beth that the connection is probably in Agnone but I am interested in knowing if they spent any time in the states.

Hi,

I'm from a different line but we're connected somehow. There was always an understanding that these two Orlando lines were related, but I think that anyone who remembers how is no longer around. I do know that some of Crispino and Angela's descendents went to Crivitz, Wisc. My greatgrandfather Madie (Emidio) Orlando retired up there as well.

You should talk to Tasha Treptow who posts here. She is also descended from Crispino Orlando and Angela Menaldi.

Do you have any other Agnone names that you're looking into?

I'm just in the early stages of researching my Orlando's. The only confirmed name I have is Maria Orlando born in 1860, married Giacomo Sineni/Senini (born 1850). They were both from Vicari, Sicily, Italy. They came to Chicago Illinois where their children also came a few years later and stayed.
Maria Orlando MAY have siblings by the name of Grace, Frank, and Frances - but this is unconfirmed yet. However they lived within a block of each other in Chicago.
Any info is helpful.

Re: Caronia

cblibrarian — 2007-01-21 20:38:50Z

Hello - Have been searching for family connection in Caronia, Sicily. Have military record for Antonino Vitale, who married my great grandmother Grazia Borchiero, in Caronia in 1900. Both were residents of Caronia. Triplet babies born to them, did not survive.

Antonino came through Ellis Island to Philadelphia and died between 1905 and 1909. He may have stayed briefly in Reading, PA, because his trunk has a label bearing a bakery with a Reading address.

Grazia and their daughter Fortunata came to Philadelphia in 1909. She remarried about 1912 - a Scafidi who also came from Caronia.

Any information would be welcome. Thanks.
