Enzio Pietro Rolando and Carolina Coppo

Plante_Roger — 2012-05-23 03:35:21Z

I am working on my family tree. I need help finding some Rolando.
My great grand father was Enzio Pietro Rolando, who came to Canada in 1913. His wife, Carolina (Coppo) Rolando arrived in Canada in 1914. For a period of time, they lived in Guigues, Quebec, Canada

My grand mother was Marguerite Rolando, who died in 1961. She had many brothers and sisters, Dino, Dominico, Angeline, Madeleine, Virginie. Only Angeline is still alive, in Ontario, Canada.

I cannot find any information about Enzio and Carolina.

Maria Rolando (and possibly Amelio Rolando) in Gallup, NM

domenickbertelli — 2009-01-04 22:11:42Z

I'm looking for more information on Maria Rolando who immigrated to the US from Piedmont to New Mexico in the 1890s, possibly with her brother Amelio.

I am a descendant of Maria Catti (born Maria Rolando) who came from Pratiglione, Torino, Piemonte in Italy around 1892, after the death of her husband. She brought a son and three daughters, settling in Heaton, New Mexico, USA by 1900. (She may have sent for one or more of the children later, as I also have an immigration record for 1908 for Anna, headed to her mother Maria in Gallup, NM).

The family:

Maria Catti, b. 1862, Pratiglione, Italy
Antonio Catti, b. July 1882, Pratiglione
Nina Catti, b. 1886 Pratiglione (may have been called Papina)
Lena Catti, b. 1890, Pratiglione (may have been called Felicita)
Anna Catti, b. Aug 14 1891, Pratiglione

They were listed as "Catty" in the 1900 US census for Gallup (district 20), and I've also seen the name spelled Cattie.

Maria's first husband (a Catti, first name unknown) was probably born about 1860. When he died, the family moved to New Mexico and Anna remarried a Pietro Laurenti (b. 1868), who was later called Peter DeLaurenti and had four more children (Margaret, Lillie, Peter/John, and Catherine).

I know what happened to the descendants, through the 1930s, except for Antonio Catti. Anna, my great-grandmother, ultimately married Joseph Bertelli (b. 1882 in Montelanghe).

I'm curious how Maria connects back to other Cattis and Rolandos in Italy. As I mentioned, I believe her brother Amelio Rolando was also in the US around 1900. I have a few pictures I can share.

Thanks for any leads!

Re: Anna Rolando

domenickbertelli — 2009-01-04 21:50:54Z

I think my great grandmother, Maria Rolando, b. 1862 in Pratiglione, may be Anna's sister. I also think they had a brother who came to the US named Amelio (whom I have a picture of with my great grandfather, but cannot find in any records).

Do you suppose the Anna Rolando referred to as the closest relative to #11 Anna Catti (who was Maria Rolando's daughter) in the attached records (page 1 and page 2) is your target?

Would be interested in trading more information.

Re: Michael Rolando/Jennie ? from Italy prior to 1882

dmccluck1 — 2007-08-30 02:23:41Z

Michelle- I wonder if you happen to have any information on a Mary "Perino-Rolando" from Coal City (b. about 1870 in Pertusio, Italy and died Nov 3,1946 in Coal City) ? She was married to James (Giacomo) Berta. Their son Anton was my grandfather, and my aunt got a copy of his Anton's birth certificate. Until that point, we didn't know that Mary was a Perino-Rolando. We only knew the Rolando part. I have almost no information for her since she came to the US. Some cousins said that she may have the following siblings: Michael, Anthony, Andrew, Edward, Catherine, Vincent, and Margaret. Any help would be appreciated. Feel free to email me at dmccluck@comcast.net.

michelemicetich — 2007-08-10 21:43:18Z

Hi, Winnie,
We have talked before. I am Michele Enrietta Micetich. I finally have been to Italy to search my Rolando roots. My great grandfather Michael Rolando married Theresa Perona. She is listed as Theresa in the 1880 census but in later census records you will find her as Jenny or as Jean. 1880 is the year they arrived in the US. They lived on the county line road, known as Monkey Robinson's corner, on the border of Will/Grundy, south of the Diamond. They were on the Will County, Reed Twp side. Later they are on the Grundy County side. They also ran a saloon/second hand goods store in Carbon Hill in 1900 so you will see them in the 1900 census in both places. Their children are Kate, John, Joe, Margaret, Peter, Frank, Ann, Tom. Kate married Wm Kramer, and Ann married Tom Gilmour. There are other Rolando's whose children have same or similar names but are not the same household. For more information email me at micetich@comcast. net

Re: Michael Rolando/Jennie ? from Italy prior to 1882

michelemicetich — 2006-07-02 23:41:06Z

Now have my great grandfather Michael Rolando's death certificate. This lists his parents as Joseph Rolando and Catherine Riva.
If Winnie, Darla, Sheri, or any other of the Rolando relatives have Rolando information, please contact me at micetich@comcast.net.
Also I would like to purchase a copy of the Rolando family book that I think is with someone in California.
Thanks, Michele

Rolando from Genoa

Tuffnelsearch — 2006-04-11 22:03:34Z

My g/father born Genoa c.1880 as (?)Guglielmo Rolando with sister Rosa/Rosaria/Rosealia adopted by A.J.Welch poss. in NY. Given English name William Welch sister that of Rose.

Rolando from Florence. ?Jewellers

Tuffnelsearch — 2006-04-11 22:03:34Z

Hi,
Still looking for the roots of my greatgrandmother Maria ROLANDO.
A cousin of mine believes that Maria may have come from Florence, (different to what I was told!) and that the family may have been jewellers or had a jewellery business or been in that trade there.
Anyone come across this family in Florence please?
Thanks,
Mike

Maria ROLANDO, her lover Augustine John WELCH, his wife Susannah TITCHINER

Tuffnelsearch — 2006-04-11 22:03:34Z

Hi all,
Can anyone link with my gt g/mother Maria ROLANDO, her lover Augustine John WELCH, or his wife Susannah TITCHINER,please? Maria & AJW produced my g/father William WELCH 24.08.1880. His birth was registerd as Augustine John TITCHINER (Maria ROLANDO was married to Susannah's brother, James TITCHINER)
The child next surfaced in the 1891 London census, now named William TITCHINER, a 'relation' of his natural father AJW, & then again at his marriage in Plymouth, Devon, in 1910 when he was now known (until his death in 1967) as William WELCH
Just to confuse things even more, the mother of James TITCHINER & Susannah TITCHINER is believed to be the Aunt of Augustine John WELCH
I have loads of certificates & other info I can copy to anyone who can link in with my convoluted family.
Thanks,
Mike WELCH

I'm looking for information about James Rolando who is the father of Antonio Rolando. I don't know anything else about James. Antonio was born either in IL or Italy around 1889. Antonio lived in Barton Co MO in 1900 with his aunt and uncle, James and Katherine (Augustino) Perona.

Stephanie, I just found out that I'm on the wrong track. The social security application I have for Antonio Rolando, son of James Rolando is not the Antonio Rolando I'm looking for. "My" Antonio's father is Mike Rolando. Mike Rolando lived in IL and had two daughters along with his son, Antonio. One of the daughters died in a fire at an orphanage.

Missing Rolando

aaroncrowe1 — 2005-07-30 05:00:49Z

I'm looking for information on my Great Grandmother. She was born in 1904 in Pennsylvania. Her parents name was Rolando, they were from Italy, and lived in Toby Township, Clarion County when she was given up for adoption.
I'm not sure if her given name was changed, but she went by Mildred but my mother seems to think it was changed from Ella or something like it.
She had two sisters and one brother. Cecilia and Anna were supposedly twins and her brother's name was Alfred.

Re: Michael Rolando/Jennie ? from Italy prior to 1882

micetich — 2004-09-07 05:26:31Z

Michael and JEAN (Perona) Rolando are the Coal City family you speak of and my great grandparents. In addition to Kate and Ann, they had a daughter, Margaret, my grandmother, who married John Enrietta. The Rolando boys were John, Joe, Peter, Frank, Louis, and Thomas. You have already heard from Darla and a few other relatives in this message board, I see!
I am searching for Michael's siblings now. Please feel free to write me at my email micetich@earthlink.net

I am sorry it took so long for my answer but I am caregiver to two and sometimes I don't know if I am coming or going. Rolando is not my direct family and I don't have too much on them but I see something here about Turin...Torino or whatever. Port Canevisi? and some names- Lucy Gallo, Matthew Gagliardo, Louis Bertino, Mary Mahoney? and my dad's sister, Kate Weikum. Also Fannie Procorione. These people settled around Wilmington, Coal City, Braidwood, IL. We live about 30 miles west of there. Kate Weikum (husband Peter Rolando b. 1893) was my dad's sister. If this matches anything you have I will put you in touch with someone who knows more about this than I. It is nice to hear from you. Winnie

update on Giacomo Rolando

tester36 — 2002-12-30 01:00:20Z

since my last post a year ago Giacomo (james) Rolando and Clara Santerre both naturalized in Grundy Co. Illinois he in 1886 her in 1884. I don't know exactly when they came to Baldwin Co. Alabama but they are listed on the 1900 census.
They were married in 1891. Giacomo was born some time in October 1860 and Clara was born June 27,1875 there seems to be a conflict of the actual day she was born between march and June. I was hoping that maybe a distant cousin would see this and be able to help me out.

The only small piece of info I can provide is the name of the town in Italy where most of the Rolando's came from: Oleandro. I am not sure of the spelling.

There is only one Rolando left that is a direct family member of my Grandfather, Felix. She has Alzheimers and can not recall facts too well.

My grandfather, Felix, (felice) , Rolando, came to Enfield Connecticut, just north of Hartford, around the same time your grandfather did. He was from Piedmonte.
I know he had a brother and , "John" sounds like a name I recall hearing from my father when talking about his fathers family.

I wonder how many Rolando's were in Piedmont that came to the states? I know there's only a few of us in the East Coast and we are all related, descended from Felix and Laura Rolando.
