Delfino Northwestern Italy

bigspotteddogs1 — 2010-09-09 22:32:43Z

I am looking for any information on the Delfino family from northwestern Italy, which was once known as Savoy. My great great grandmother was Magdalene Delfino born about 1847. Following family lore her parents owned a large olive grove. Magdalene married one of the laborers (Francesco Salvaterra) who worked for her family. As a result of this union Magdalene was disowned by her family for marring a man below her social class. This is the only information I have on this part of the family so ANY information would be appreciated.

Hi:
I have been looking for Olive Appleton,just to confirm is your Dad's name Kenneth Appleton. From what i have learned, your Grandfather's name was Telesforo Delfino & he was from the Philippines. He was indeed a boxer. i did some research on his boxing name Pedro Campo & it really showed that he was a Filipino who lived in Philadelphia by that time.
Thank you & looking forward to hear from you soon.

On www.ellisisland.org a Giacomo Delfino is listed as having arrived in New York on 4/6/1889. He was 23 yrs old and was continuing on to San Francisco to his brother Domenico Delfino. His passage & ticket appear to have been paid by Domenico Delfino.

Dr. Delfino is the author of several books including the one you mentioned about illegal lawsuits known as SLAPPs. In addition to a book he wrote on cancer and radiotherapy which I have not read, I know mostly of his books on capital punishment: Death Penalty USA 2005 - 2006 and the more recent Death Penalty USA 2003 - 2004. These two books are very popular in Hong Kong.

PARK CANAL SWIM FATAL

College Student Stricken While Taking Plunge at Bakersfield

BAKERSFIELD, May 26. - - Apparently taken with a seizure of cramps while swimming in the deep waters of Recreation Park canal last night, Marcio Delfino, 30 years of age, an agricultural student at the University of California and a graduate of Bakersfield High School, was drowned.
The fire department inhalator squad, summoned by David Hulme, son of Rev. Charles Hulme of the First Christian Church of Bakersfield and Lee and Paul Farrall of Route 3, Bakersfield, worked for more than an hour over the lifeless body.
It was Delfino's habit after finishing work each day to take a plunge in the canal. It is believed that he had just entered the water when Hulme and the two Farralls noticed that he was in distress.
He leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Delfino of Route 3, Bakersfield; five brothers, Frank, Joe, James, William and Douglas, and two sisters, Mary Frnaces and Lena.

My name is Richard Tretten, my mother's madien name was Bernice Dell'Osso. She had a brother Raymond Dell'Osso. Their father was Raffaele Dell'Osso and their mother was Laura Delfino but after Raffaele died in 1915, Laura married George Pavesich. George and Laura lived on Bay Street in SF until he died in 1939 or so.

I remember going to see Jack and Jozie Delfino with my grandmother Laura; they lived on Union Street in San Francisco during the 1940's and 1950's.

I don't know if you are allowed to see my email address as I submit this message, but if anyone related to the above family names reads this, please call me in San Jose, CA at 408.265.5956

Delfino, Emmanuel

2001-03-29 22:20:31Z

Leonard's father, Carmen's husband, was named Emmanuel. He was born in Calabria, Italy. It is believed that he had been married in Italy before immigrating to the United States. I believe he died in the 1940s and last lived in Brooklyn, New York.

2001-03-29 22:16:32Z

Leonard's sister was named Marion and was married to "Kelly" before divorcing. She is rumored to have died many years ago. I can't remember his brother's name, but it was NOT Vincent. Carmen's maiden name was French but may not have been spelled as you have it...it may have been LeCourt or LaCourt.

We never really knew what the background of my grandfather was. At first we were told he was from Spain, now some relatives are telling me that he was originally from Italy, possibly Sardinia. He was married to Olive Appleton of Philadelphia, had worked as a body guard for the Spanish embassy, and boxed under the name of Pedro Compo. This was in the 1920's. If you can give me any information on either the name and it's origins, or any family ties to this man, I would greatly appreciate it. He was rumoured to have moved to Hawaii after the divorce, sometime in the 1930's, and to have worked their with the royal guard. Please respond if you have any knowledge, no matter how small, Thank you.

Thank you for your reply to my message. I'm sorry
but we have no relatives Outside Oregon that we
know of. If in Italy you have Delfino's from the
Pero, Casanova, Verenzza area there could be a
tie-in. If so let me know.

Thanks, Bob
