Family of Rosa Di Giovanni & Francesco Immesi

kristinlynnrichey — 2011-11-07 00:30:33Z

I'm looking for information about the family of Rosa Di Giovanni and Francesco Immesi, my 5th great grandparents.

I do not have their dates of birth, but based on the marriages of their children, I'm guessing they were born around 1820 or earlier and their family was from Palermo, Sicily.

They had 3 children that I've found record of so far:

1. Giuseppa Pezzino
---married Antonino Scaglione, 18 Jan 1877, Palermo
---2. Santina Scaglione, b. 1866
---2. Salvatore Scaglione, 1887-1973
---2. Antonino Scaglione, b. 1896

1. Nicola Pezzino
---married Maddalena Tritzillo/Turzillo 29 May 1886, Palermo
--2. Francesco Pezzino, 1897-1902
--2. Rosa Pezzino, b. 1900
--2. Francesco Paolo Pezzino, b. 1902
--2. Giovanni Pezzino, b. 1905

1. Paolo Pezzino
---married Francesca Spina 21 Jan 1893, Palermo
--2. Vincenzo Pezzino, b. 1896
--2. Nicolo Pezzino, b. 1898
--2. Agostina Pezzino, b. 1901
--2. Giovanna Pezzino, b. 1903
--2. Girolamo Pezzino, b. 1905

Trying to find the parents of this Italian lady. Not easy as I do not speak Italian.
I have her birth cert, but mother & father are not mentioned. Can anyone tell me if this is normal on Italian birth certs.
On the birth cert it says Mansolino Marie Giovanna, so i asume Maria is her first name. At the top it says Comune Di S.Bartolomeo in Galda. (Provincia di Benevento), and also primo/ marto/ 1901 so I think this is her birth date.
I know she married Antonio Giovanni, and had a daughter Incoranata Reino b.1943.
Can anyone help please, or tell me where to start.

P.S.-re:Monsigneur GIOVANNI-WWII Priest in SPINAZZOLA, Italy---more info

viennalovesgenealogy — 2008-06-29 03:05:30Z

Forgot to mention that the Priest, called Don GIOVANNI in the tiny town of SPINAZZOLA, Italy during WWII---who lived in his OLD Ancestral Home, on the outskirts of that town----the home MIGHT BE TODAY an HISTORIC SITE or preserved as a Cultural Monument, etc...since it was STATELY HOME---of Mansion porportions, including a FAMILY CREST over the Main ENTRANCE.

It also sat on some amount of property, and was fenced-off from the roadway, ie-it was private land, with some small acreage.

Anyone knowing anything of this home or man and any of his descendants or antecedents, please contact me direct, at.....

MONSIGNEUR GIOVANNI (ie-Don Giovanni)of SPINAZZOLA, Italy-c.WWII

viennalovesgenealogy — 2008-06-29 03:00:20Z

Does anyone have info on a Catholic Priest during WWII in the tiny town of SPINAZZOLA, Italy--that went by the name of "Don Giovanni" who lived in his family's old ANCESTRAL Home--just outside of that town??

My father boarded at his home-as a young soldier during WWII. We would love to know something about or have even contact with, any remaining members of this family.

The Priest of course had no issue--but he did have a sister that kept house for him,named,we believe,Maria.He also may have had brothers-who perhaps married and had descendants.

Not sure even if his LAST name was GIOVANNI--or if it was his first name - this is all my 86yr old father remembers--is that the Priest was "referred" to "as" Don Giovanni, and that he was a Monsigneur in the church.

Anyone with info/pix/stories, whatever can email me direct at......
