Re: Vito Antonio Valletta

Vito Valletta was my great-grandfather. He was actually born in America (to Antonio Valletta), but raised in Valva which he was sent back to when he was like 2. He came back to America at 19-ish, sent for by Antonio Spiotta to marry his sister.
He originally lived at 125 High St., Brooklyn (an address that no longer exists, as it was demolished so the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway could be plowed through) and had a tailor shop in Newark, NJ (where he probably had another family: http://geoffchaucer.diaryland.com/Vito.html).

Re: Valletta Waterbury Obituary

Vincent,

Thank you for sharing the obituary. Actually, I did see it in the Waterbury paper. I believe that the Santopietro listed in the obituary (Orazio) was my late grandfather's godfather. I've yet to establish any connection.

Regards...

Me again....

Have you ever been to Pontelandolfo?? It is quite a small village and everyone speaks Italian only except for the local police..Pietro and an employer of the town office and his wife..Genero and Marilena...that we met. We spent only 2 days there but had the best food and cappicinos ever. We visited the local cemetary....and a Rocco Valletta. ??..a family member is burried there. Since I thought this would be the only time I would ever find myself in Italy...I just had to go visit my mom's family's roots.
I was able to show my mom photos when I got back before she passed away. That was very special to me. Sally

Hi Louis,
No I do not speak Italian. I visited Pontelandolfo 2 years ago and met my grandfathers half brother.Giovanni and his wife Falicia Valletta.. While in the village, there was a monument to "Bridgeport"..and a few people who had died in an accident. My Uncle ...Tony (Anthony Valletta) used to live in Waterbury until he died a few years ago. I used to visit Waterbury as a child ...my grandparents lived there...Salvatore and Angelina Valletta who are also both passed away.My Mom was Livia Gilchrest (Valetta).She passed away in 2003 and there were some Valletta's at he funeral.So as you can see...all of the Valletta's that I know have passed away. My brother and sisters still live in the Conn, NY, Mass. area...Edward, Linda and Sharon...and my dad still lives in Connecticut...Ed Gilchrest..not a Valletta...but was married to my mom for 50 some odd years and knew many Valletta' from Waterbury. I now live in Canada...Hope this is helpful. Let me know and I can hook you up with their email addresses. They may be able to assist you in your task.

Do you speak Italian? I have several Valletta relatives in Pontelandolfo, Benevento, Campania. Please email me and we can discuss further. I live in the Waterbury, CT area (I am currently organizing a family reunion for the Santopietro/Valletta Family which originated from Pontelandolfo.)

Buon Giorno...

Hello, my family is from Pontelandolfo and my aunt is in Waterbury. I am in Mtl. I will ask my mom about Valletta...sounds familiar.

I am looking for family that left Pontelandolfo and went to Argentina a long time ago. Christina Guerrera was my grandmother Mariangiola's sister. If anyone has any info to share, please do not hesitate.

Hi, my grandmother's name was Annetta Velletta and she was French Italian. She married an Ed Broderick and they had two children one of who was my father Donald Patrick Broderick who was born Sept. 15, 1915.

You the first person that I have found that is looking for the same surname "Velletta". I was starting to think that it had been misspelled and that the real spelling was Valenta. I am so glad I saw your post.

Both left Pontelandolfo around 1920's, moved to Waterbury Connecticut, USA..and had 2 children named Livia (my mom) and Anthony (my uncle who passed away last year), both born in the US..around 1929-1939ish.

I am traveling to Italy in Sept 2002 and would love to meet up with any family that remains in Pontelandolfo.

Please contact me if this means anything to you.

Vito Antonio Valletta

2001-02-02 20:47:54Z

I am trying to trace my grandfather who was born in Valva Salerno Campania Italy about 1849. He was married to Marantonia Spiotta in 1873. Vito Antonio left Valva sometime between 1881 and 1901 and it has been assumed that he went to America, probably New York State,does anyone have any ideas how to trace him?

Family roots from Italy, Naples?
