My father was Charles (Carmelo)Grieco.(1903-1964) His father was Alfonso Grieco, from Naples region. He married Maria Fasano.(1869-1961) My dad had 2 brothers, Al (Alfonso)(1895-1985) & Daniel (Donato)(1901-1954) Cannot find any records for Alfonso Sr. in USA. He & Maria came from Pennsylvania where my dad was born. Both Al Jr. & Dan were born in Italy, I think. Anyone have any info on this family?

I have D'Amanda relatives from Sicignano but none that match yours listed. The closest would be Donato D'Amanda 1798-1865 married to Vittoria Zambiello.There is a Vittoria Gieco born abt 1770 in the tree maybe should be Grieco.

Grieco family from Avellino (then Boston, Detroit and Chicago)

cecsheets — 2010-09-29 00:22:19Z

My husband's great-grandmother was Emilia Grieco, born 7 June 1877. Her husband was Pasquale Nutile, also of Avellino.

She had at least two sisters Sophia (married a Scopa) and Asunta (married a DeStefano).

Their mother was Giovannia Colello. Initially, everyone settled in the Boston area.

In 1902, Pasquale and Emilia moved to Detroit. In 1903 or 1904, they moved to the Little Italy neighborhood of Chicago. By 1910, Emilia's mother (Giovannia Colello) was living with them.

In total, Pasquale and Emilia had 12 children, 8 of whom lived to adulthood.

Hello Christine,

Hope you still check Ancestry. My Grandmother, Vincenza Coppola and your Great Grandmother, Carmela Grieco were sisters. I speant a lot of time with your GM, as the sisters visited often. My Mother, Philomena Puso, was Vincenza's daughter, and a women ahead of her time because she drove a car from when she was a teen and took us all over. We lived in NJ and visited the Grieco's often. Elsie lived with Zie Carmela, there is Jenna, Carmela, Alfred (who I last saw in 1992, when I was in Florida) and the rest of the clan. Your Grandmother was my favorite, such a sweet women, I don't remember your Grandfather that much but do have many picture of them, especially when they went on vacation to Italy in the 1950. Would love to hear from you. I am writing a book on the family, if it never makes it to publication, at least the future generations will know the history. We do come from a loving a warm family that spent a lot of time together and have beautiful memories of them.

My great grandfather was DANIEL GRECO (b. Oct 1 1891 in Ottati, d. Feb 5 1960 in New Kensington, PA, USA). His father was JOHN GRECO (b. 1871 in Ottati, d. May 1903 in Ottati) and his mother was TERESA GRIECO (b. Nov 15 1873 in Ottati, d. Jun 1959 in Ottati).

John's parents were DANIEL GRECO and FILOMENIA GRANADA. Teresa's parents were ANGELO GRIECO and PAULINE ANDREOLA.

Any reply is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Debra,
My grandfather was Tony Grieco. He came to the US around the turn of the last century. He had 2 brothers that I am aware of, one of whom was Csoimo and Ben MAY have been the other one. Tony married Virginia Pendolf, probably about 1908. In 1917, Tony and Virginia, with 2 children split up. Tony wanted to return to Italy and Virginia wanted to stay in the US. Tony went back to Italy, Barri area I believe, was drafted into the Italian army and died of blood poisoning in N. Africa. Barri was the home of either Tony or Virginia. Not sure which. Does this fall into place with any of the other information you have? Please reply, Allen Grieco

2004-02-10 19:23:03Z

my name is melanie, and my paternal grandmother's name was AMELIA CRAGO. her fathers name (if i remember correctly) was ANTHONY CRAGO (it was GRIECO at one time but when he moved over here, to america, they changed it a lil' bit)...i don't have all of my notes with me because it's rare for me to find that many of us, linked or not, around....my family seems to have just "appeared" and that's about it....
but from what i can remember it seems as though AMELIA was born about 1905 in Rossiter, PA....and died sometime in the 1960's ...i either have a copy of her death certificate or some kind of notes to check by at home....and she was one of about 8-10 kids, her youngest sibling is still alive at age 82, Matilda (we call her aunt Til) Til still lives in Penn.
Amelia and her siblings were first generation americans from what i can gather...i have been told that her father ANTHONY came from italy------i don't know where, when, or if he was even married there or if he waited 'til he got here....
but anyway, AMELIA CRAGO then married GUISEPPI(joseph) VISELLI, who immigrated to america from Ripi, Province di Frosinone some time between 1910-1920....
i hope that someone out there can help me a little, i do have some scant notes at home, but they don't tell me much more than what i have listed here.....i'm just stuck i guess unless i can find something else....
but thanx for reading my post anyway....

My grandfather and two brothers came from Potenza Italy in 1901. One brothers name is Paul. The third brother died in a horse and carriage accident at an early age. I do not know what his name was. I would like to find the third branch of the family because we do know he had a wife and children. Antonio and Paul settled in Chicago so I think the third brother probably did too.

My Grandfather was Charles Grieco. Our family lives in Rochester, NY. Do not know if there is a connection, as I do not my great grandparent's names. MY grandfather was married to Beatrice Fegadel (Fegatelli). He passed away around 1966. We have many Griecos here. Most are our family. The Fegadel side is much more spansive as my grandmother was one of 6 children. We have not gotten to know our grandfather's side of the family.

Grieco

2003-02-06 15:57:11Z

In my family background is the name Grieco. Our family name was Grieci, my great grandfather married a Grieco. They were from Melito Irpino, Avellino, Italy and some from Bonito, Avellino, Italy. Most of the messages I read do not indicate where in Italy your relatives may have come from. I have had very little luck tracing Grieci, except at the Mormon Family History center. There are so many Griecis and Griecos that it's difficult to distinguish who may be related and who may just have the same name.

Vincenzo Tony Grieco

LDonovan7762 — 2002-10-20 03:30:05Z

I'm helping my dad locate any Grieco relatives hopefully trace his family back to Italy. My grandfather, Vincenzo, came to NY during WWI with his brothers Tony ?. He later sent back to Italy for Louise (Luiza?) Zolle, whom he married in Delaware. They had 14 children, 8 survived to adulthood. The children's names were Mauro, Florence (Firenza), Josephine, Jimmy (Vincenzo), Rose, Elizabeth, Virginia (Vincenza), and Eugene. If any of this fits in, please e-mail me.

We Know that he had a brother called Salvatore and we think that the Giovanni and Salvatore in your message maybe a link to our research. We know that Giovanni came to New Zealand in the 1800's, and apparently Salvatore went to America. We are wanting to know the dates of Giovanni's birth and his parents names, anything will help! Thanks.

Both were 12 years old and no apparent families were with them. They came through the Port of NY and settled in Hudson County, NJ. I'm hoping this info will lead to the birthplace of my great-grandfather, Antonio Spiotta.

colettela — 2001-06-24 22:43:19Z

Hi everyone,

I'm doing some investigating for my grandfather, James Grieco. I am the cousin of Adriann Grieco who posted here also. I have some more info to add and if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

What I know is this:

Giuseppe Grieco (born in Craco, Italy 1875)
came to NY. Married Maria DiGiono (born? from Pisticci, Italy)

They had 8 children:
Frank
Jimmy
Leonard
Ralph
Vincenzo (James)
Julius
Margaret
Rosie

I am the grandaughter of Vincenzo (James) and there are three living children from that generation: James, Margaret, and Rosie.
At some point, the family went from NY to Chicago, after 1915?

In addition, I know that Guiseppe had a daughter, Guilia/Julia from another marriage (?). I know that she died in the US, but I don't know anything about her family.

Also, Giuseppe's father was Francesco Grieco (born c. 1850? and arrived to NY in 1904 from Craco).

If anyone can help, please email. I would really appreicate it.

Thank you - colette
