Hi there - When I started researching the family tree, I went down a mistaken path. My Pietro Genova isn't related to the family that came to Boston (brother Andrea, mother with the surname Castronovo). That is a different household. I later obtained the death certificate of my gr-grandfather which showed that his parents were Giovanni Genua and Donata Cerasuolo. I then obtained the microfilm from the Family History Center and found Pietro's birth record in Anzano di Puglia, which confirmed their names.

Hi Pete,

I think I am heading down a road you have already traveled, and am curious about your conclusion in this post. Pietro & Andrea had two sisters and another brother named Francesco "Frank", he married Rose Nicoletti, had 3 children, Guy, Josephine, and John The first two are named after his parents (english translations of Gaetano and Giuseppe). Pietro and Andrea included "fu Gaetano" in their names at immigration, which indicates Gaetano is their deceased father's name. These two pieces of information and infomration "known" to the living family members seems to point to the parents being Gaetano Genova and Giuseppa Castronovo. I see from your older posts that you were heading this way at one point, how did you rule it out in favor of the info in this post?

Hi William,

I also live in Toronto. My great-grandmother was Paola Genova (b. approx 1872) who married Giuseppi Mannone both from Vita and according to a cousin daughter of Michael Genova and Rose Ruto both from Vita and born around 1850. I would be very interested to know if these names connect to your Genova family.

Regards,

Peter

Genova surname, Anzano di Puglia

2004-07-08 15:02:34Z

After 2+ years of trying to figure out where my great-grandfather, Pietro Genova, was born, I finally found the answer. He was born in Anzano degli Irpini (now called Anzano di Puglia).

Are there any Genova (or Genuas) who have roots in this town? I have researched a microfilm from the Mormon Family History Center, and I have found the following information.

My gr-gr-grandfather was Giovanni Genova, but I suspect that his name was changed from "Genua". Here's why. In the 1880s, there were some birth records in Ananzo of children who were born to Giovanni Genua and Grazia Riggillo. I then found a record of Giovanni Genova (my gr-gr-grandfather) marrying my gr-gr-grandmother, Donata Cerasuolo, in 1889. From this point on, there are no records of birth of children of Giovanni Genua & Grazia. My gr-grandfather was then born in July of 1890, and on the birth record, there is something written on the side of the record and the names "Genua" and "Genova" are mentioned. I wonder if the surname was changed from Genua to Genova.

Is there anyone with roots in this town who has information to share? I greatly appreciate it!

Andrea Genova from Swampscott, MA

StPete2you — 2004-06-19 02:54:33Z

I'm trying to find out information about my great-grandfather. His name was Pietro Genova, and he died during an influenza outbreak in Boston in September, 1918.

I found a Pietro Genova on the Ellis Island site who would have been the same age as my great-grandfather. He arrived in Boston with his older brother Andrea in 1907. I found an Andrea Genova in the Social Security death index who would have been the same age as the Andrea on Ellis Island.

I therefore believe that Pietro and Andrea were brothers. I am trying to contact any relatives or descendants of Andrea Genova who was born in 1883 and passed away in Swampscott, MA in 1968. If we are related I would like to share and obtain information about our family.

stpete2you1 — 2002-07-05 13:57:42Z

Hey there,

I'm having difficulty researching information about my great-grandfather. His name was either Peter or John Genova, and he was born in the early 1890s in Italy. He came to Boston at a young age, married Pompilia (maiden name sounds like Labondonia) and she gave birth to my grandfather John. The problem is, my great-grandfather passed away at a young age in the 1920s, so my grandfather knew little about him. I know I'm fishing here, but I appreciate it if anyone had ANY information about him.

Genova - Genua

dtyler1 — 2002-04-16 19:41:38Z

My grandfather Vito Genova married Crocifissa Renda. They were from Trapani. Unfortunately both are deceased and I have very little information about their birthplaces. They settled in New York City. Vito's brother Gaspare married Crocifissa's sister Antonina and they came to the United States (New York City) before my grandparents. My mother tells me she has cousins in Canada. My grandmother told my mother that the spelling of my grandfather's last name changed when he came to this country. I am very interested to get in touch with you!
