Mildred,

I was scanning the web and came across your ancestry search from 2003. The thing that caught my eye was that my mother Mary Pitassi, also married a Martino (Philip). They were born here in America. However, their parents who migrated to America around 1902 previously lived in the area of Foggia, Italy. I am not sure if there is any relationship, but thought that it was kind of ironic. Once in America they lived in Chicago and later moved to California in the 1930's.

I am doing some research on the Pitasi family. Your ancestors came very likely from Calabria. The american part you will have to yourself. On the italian part I will do my best. Untill now I have been working on the Civil State of Cardeto, San Salvatore, Mosorrofa and Cataforio. On Roccaforte del Greco I will concentrate myself later. These are the only villages as to my knowledge where the name Pitasi excisted untill ca. 1900.

I'm the grandson of Francesca Pitasi, and I think Frank was the uncle of my grand mother. She was living in Villa San Giovanni -Reggio Calabria-

Hi there. I am researching the Pitassi's as well. My husband is a Pitassi from Pittsburgh. His Grandfather Giuseppe Pitassi immigrated from Ateleta in 1913 and went to Bloomfield. I have some information on the Pitassis, but not much. Many came to Pittsburgh. I would love to tie you into our line. Maybe if we trade information we can fill in some holes. I don't know of a Paul (yet) but I have names of a few siblings of Giuseppe's that immigrated too (but there could be more). If you'd like to trade information please don't hesitate to e-mail me at lpitassi@earthlink.net.

Thanks!

I am Esther's sister and I am sure we met. Unfortunately, Esther died last Memorial Day from results of severe diabetes. Through the years your name did come up. Didn't you live in Windber? Esther would be so happy that we have made contact. .

Locating Father's Arrival in America

2003-01-13 21:46:36Z

Hi: My maiden name was Mildred Pitassi. I am trying to find out the exact day my Father, Paul Pitassi came to America. He was born in 1887 and died in 1955. He owned a grocery store in Pittsburgh. I remember he said that he came here when he was very young. He was born in Atelata in the Province of A'Quila. I have logged on to Ellis Island and cannot find his name listed under our correct spelling or other spellings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just saw your question for the first time today. as you can see my branch of the family kept the ss but changed the i to y.

I am the grandson of Julius (Giulio) Pitassy, born in Pacentro, Italy, a small hill town in Abruzzi, in 1880.

My uncle, Caesar Pitassy did some research in the early sixties and found that the family migrated from Hungary in the 16th or 17th century, probably as mercenaries.

At present there are Pitassis in Siena and Venice for sure, but what connection they have with my branch, if any, is unknown.

I am looking for Esther Pitassi who went to college with me in Cresson, Pa. in the 50's. I know she married but do not have current information on her. I saw her in the 60's in Pgh. Does anyone know where she is?

I don't know any of my family.
I guess they dropped the double SS at some time.
I would like to know some history -- where we came from etc.

I think they live in Florida , but are from Massachusetts.

My dads name was Tony ( Anthony ) Pitasi.

I don't want any history on him...but family history where are we from etc.
