I am a Dello
Iacono descendent from
Boston. My Great-grandfather was Giuseppi, who came from the
Naples area around 1910. He married Clementina Censali in
Boston, and had 4 children: Pelligrino (William) 1915, Clementina Marie (legally changed it to Marie later in life) 2/1917, ??Melka?? (died in early 20's of leukemia), and Joseph, much younger, who became a Fransiscan Father and took the name Cletus. My grandmother is Marie (Clementina), who married Anthony
Arena (North End of
Boston), and they lived in Charlestown and the West End of
Boston (now bulldozed for Mass General Hospital) before settling in W
Medford,
MA (both the DI and
Arena family). Marie is the only child that had children, and she was my grandmother. There was a cousin William (Bill Dello) in NJ who died about 10 years ago or so. Giuseppi died in the 50's, Clementina in 1979, Bill 1999 and Marie in 2002 (dates aren't exact, family historian is on vacation. Anything sound familiar?
