Oreste diCianno and Other diCianno Families
This Page last updated on
.
Oreste diCianno was the executor of my grand granduncle Teridano diTella's
Last Will. So my long shot is to try to find grand nieces/nephews of
Oreste
to see if there is any "stuff" handed down that might have information
about my uncle Teridano.
This page is not very well organized - my apoligies in advance.
Some facts about Oreste's life:
- 1892 21 Dec - born in SPA.
- 1917 WWI Draft Registration, 24y, single, Dawson, NM, coal miner.
- 1924-1925 Oreste advertised his Shoe Repair business in
Dawson. Ads were placed in issues of The Dawson News.
- 1925 Married to Florence
diLorenzo who was born 8 Jan 1908 in Hebbing, MN.
- 1928 Dec 2 : godparents of Baptism of Lucy
diLorenzo at St. Joseph's in Raton, NM.
- 1930 Census Dawson, NM. 37y, Lived with wife Florence 22y,
next door to Teridano diTella and John and Santa Moruzzi. First married
at 33y.
- 1944 Signed death certificate of Teridano diTella in
Dawson/Raton and was the executor of his Will.
- 1953 Mentioned in the obiturary of his sister, Michelina
(Ely, NV). Said he was living in Raton.
- 1956 Died, buried in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Raton.
- 1982 Florence
died Jun 1982 in Tucson, AZ. I don't know were she is buried. She had remaried to Joseph Sepich.
This information is gatherered from SPA microfilms, Ellis Island
manifests, other information that I had and the emails from Amico
diCianno in Italy, Ben Larricia, Jay diCianno (http://goombawine.com/), Blanche diLorenzo
Crichfield, Betty Huston, Mike Hamilton, Penny Frakes and Cristina diCianno-McDonald. SPA
microfilm data entry by Shirley Sinclare was also used.

Re: so glad to hear from you!
Dear Mark,
I hope that you had a Happy New Year.
My aunt, Mary Arcangelli, in Raton, would remember Oreste
and
could maybe answer some of your questions. She knows alot
about
our family history. One thing I can tell you about Oreste, my
sister remembers clearly, from as early as she can remember.
While visiting the family in Raton over the years, and being very close
to Aunt Florence, she remembers that everyone always spoke highly and
with praise about the character of Oreste. Everyone (family,
friends, and acquaintances) said how kind he was, how honest he was and
how helpful he was to any one and everyone. He was the best
cobbler that Dawson and Raton ever knew. Everyone said what a
sad
day it was when he passed away and how much he would be missed.
My sister and I will check with Aunt Carmen (Silver's
mother)
and see if she has any pictures, or knows more about Oreste.
My sister just remembered, that Aunt Mary knew Aunt
Florence's
first husband (Oreste) very well. She would probably be your
best
bet for knowledge about him and Dawson as well. Aunt Mary may
also have knowledge of your uncle Teridano.
I think I forgot to say that yes, I do know Silver and Sally
quite well. Uncle Louie was one of my favorite uncles. I just
found an email from my cousin Fritz. How cool. I remember his
father Statch from visits to Raton when I was very little. I
did not know my Aunt Florence well, since she passed on when I was only
9, but I remember hearing Dad's family speak highly of her first
husband Oreste.
Take care,
Blanche |

Re: Amedeo Dicianno
Mark,
As far as I know, most of the Dicianno's in Ely
are
related to each other. The Italian community started during
the
Depression, I'm told, when a few immigrants found jobs with the
railroad. The word spread to Youngstown, where Amedeo and his new wife,
Carmela nee Mendozzi were living. I think it was Amedeo's brother,
maybe brother-in-law, who told him about the job opening in Ely.
Amedo's son Romolo became the postmaster of East Ely. Our family went
to visit Uncle Ameddie and Aunt Carmel in 1960. My mother, sister, and
I returned in 1997. My uncle died in the early 1980's.
You may not have letters, but your website is fantastic. I'm
doing a presentation on preserving family history in March and will
list your site as a resource. With your permission, I'd also like to
use a few of the photos in the Power Point talk that will be part of
the workshop.

Re: Oreste diCianno
Hi Mark,
Nice to hear from you again. You are probably correct about the Silvia
- Libra conflict. I reviewed my original records from SPA and I agree
that it most likely is Silvia. As for the name of Oreste's father. The
only record that I have shows that it was Pasquale. I have not searched
the SPA records for Oreste nor his family. My only source for his
connection to the Di Sanze family was a family record give to me by one
of the Di Sanze decendants. His father's name is listed as Pasquale on
his Ellis Island record.
Hope this helps.

Mike Hamilton |

Family Tree
Dear Mark,
Great work on this website. I found it
when I did a
search on my last name DiCianno (the proper spelling) and found a photo
of a tombstone in Ely. After further research on my end I have found
that my great-grandmother was Diomira Frazzini. I was looking through
your trees and was wodering if you may have come across this name. My
ancestors are also from San Pietro and we grew up in Beaver Falls.
Grazie.
Ciao,
Jay
Mark,
My great-grandmother's, on my father's
side, name
was Diomira Frazzini and she was married to Carlo DiCianno. Their names
are on the marriage act of my grandparents. They did not come to the
US. My grandfather, Salvatore DiCianno married Armandina DiMatteo on
March 15, 1922 in San Pietro Avellana. My grandmother was 21 and my
grandfather was 34. From the little that I have found out so far, it
appears that my grandfather's family is from the Puglia region. I have
been communicating, via email, with an Amico DiCianno whose family is
from San Pietro Avellana. We're working on our links.
Grazie,
Jay |

San Pietro Avellana
Dear Mark,
I was very impressed by your visit to San Pietro Avellana. Mark, my
grandparents were born and raised in SPA. My grandmother's name was
Maria
Pasqua diTella. My grandfather was Carmine diCianno. They were married
in SPA on October 20, 1902. They came to the US in 1903.
We do not know anything about my grandfathers family. Grandma's father
was Christafor diTella and her mother was Florence Colavecchio.
Grandpa was born on April 14, 1869 and grandma was born on March 27,
1880.
My grandparents were in Segundo, CO, Trinidad, CO, Pueblo CO, Pike
View,
CO, and Dawson, NM (1914-1916), Wellington, CO, and then Denver after
grandpa quit the coal mines.
Any information you can give me I would appreciate very much
thank you,

Subject: [SanPietroAvellana] Carmela DiCianno interview available on Internet
For those of you who knew my
aunt Carmela Mendozzi DiCianno, you can listen to a recorded interview
with her taken about ten years ago. Born in Capracotta in 1910, she
immigrated to Youngstown, Ohio, ten years later with her mother Maria
Loreta DiTanna Mendozzi. Carmela married Amedeo DiCianno who had
arrived in Youngstown from San Pietro Avellana via Uruguay and Mexico.
If you think of illegal immigrants as only speaking Spanish, Carmela's
account of her future husband's travails will enlighten you.
In this interview, she remembers her experiences growing up, getting married, and starting a family in Youngstown.
You can access the two-part
interview at the link from Youngstown State University's Steel Valley

I was able to contact the daughter of Mary diLorenzo Arcangeli, the sister of Florence. Elaine Arcangeli Wade wrote to me:
September 24 2007
Dear Mark
My mother, Mary, and I can't find any pictures of Terry. I found one of
Oreste and myself in Dawson. We believe my Aunt Florence had pictures,
but since she passed away many years ago, we have no idea where they
would be. Her second husband, Joe Sepich, also passed away. Therefore,
what pictures she had are gone.
Florence and Oreste did not have any children. They spoiled me rotten.
I loved them both dearly and I think about them all the time. We live
in their home that was moved, to Raton, from Dawson.
This is all the information that I have. Hope this will be a little helpful.
Sincerely, Elaine.

Florence diLorenzo
Florence was a big mystery for a while. I've seen her name also as
Flora and Florena. I found a family tree on
rootsweb.com which listed her - at least I am pretty sure that this is
her:
http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2632534&id=I545676237
It shows that she remarried after Oreste's death in 1956. Here
are some details from that tree:

Christy and Filomena diCianno
This family lived in Youngstown with children who lived in Ely. I got these emails:

Hi Mark,
I just noticed your website.
I am related to the Di Cianno's. Could you post the photo of
Girlando Di Cianno? Are you related?

Penny,
Thanks for your email.
I do have two photos of Girlando diCianno on the diCianno web page. Is
there another one that I referenced? I'll be happy to send you the
photos if you can remind me which they are. (I have so many photos I
can't keep track of them...)
Also, consider joining our SPA group on Yahoo at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SanPietroAvellana/
Join the group and post a message there about your parents, grandparents, etc. You might find more cousins!
ciao.

Hi Mark,
I had not even seen the Di
Cianno page - I just found your Ely page when I googled my grandmother.
I just checked it out and it's great! To fill in another piece of
the puzzle (if you haven't already) my grandparents were/are Girlando
and Josephine DiCianno, so my great grandmother is Michelina DiCianno
(Grandma Micki). My mom, Chris, may have sent you an email as well. I
don't remember Micki, she died before I was born. Amadeo and Carmela
were my great aunt and uncle.
Josephine's side is
DeLorenzo - I saw a similiar name on the website (different spelling)
her parents were Christy and Philomena DeLorenzo. My mom will know most
of the Italians in Ely, we were a tight knit group and all of us are
related! Your website is great, I am going to join the yahoo group and
tell my mom to do the same.
Thanks again!

Hi, my daughter sent me your
website, and you have hit on some very near and dear memories of my
life. I am sure we are related somewhere along the line. I
know, or knew most of the headstones you took pictures of. In addition,
my dad is Girlando DiCianno, my mom is Josephine, and she is still
alive at the age of 85 but is in a nursing home in Ely. My
maternal grandmother is Filomena Delorenzo, married to Christy
Delorenzo and he died in Youngstown, Ohio, where he was buried.
My paternal grandparents are Umberto and Micheliana DiCianno. I am
first generation Italian here in the USA.
You have definitely caught my interest. if you want to chat more, you have my email address.
Here is some information about the missing headstones:
1. DiCianno, Agnes L.
This is my step grandmother,
her husband was Umberto DiCianno. This was a 2nd marriage for
them both and my grandfather Umberto is buried in Ely with his wife
Michelina, and Agnes is buried I believe in Reno. Her name prior
to the marriage to my grandfather was Lusetti.
3. DiCianno, Ann DiCianno
I do not know "Ann" though my maiden name is DiCianno, so I need to think about this one for a bit to see if I recognize her.
With sincere regards,
Christine DiCianno-McDonald

Dear Christine and Penny,
Thanks for your email and information.
I've learned a lot about the diCianno family and their time in Dawson and Ely.
When I started my genealogy research several years ago, I focused on my
immediate family. As I moved forward, I realized that everyone from SPA
is related to everyone else. That sure makes a lot of work for me!
My direct interest in the diCianno family was Oreste.
My great granduncle, Teridano diTella, lived in Dawson and is buried in
Raton. His family never came to the US. He had four children. I visited
several of his grandchildren in Italy a few years ago.
When I was first contacted by Teridano's grandson, Giuliano Colajanni,
we knew almost nothing about Teridano's life here. Over the years we
searched for information.
When Teridano died, the executor of his will was Oreste diCianno. I talk about that on Teridano's web page at:
http://www.silogic.com/genealogy/Teridano%20diTella.html
So I was hoping that I could find out more about Teridano if I found
out more about Oreste. That let me to the research that I did on your
family and to this web page that you saw:
http://www.silogic.com/genealogy/Oreste%20diCianno.html
Many people have helped me out along the way. Mike Hamilton <mhamilton4woh.rr.com> sent me the photos of Girlando that I have. You can look at the web page and see all the help that I received.
From you, I would be interested in anything that you would like to share about the diCianno's.
I'd especially like to hear if you know anything about Oreste, his
first wife, Flora (Florence) diLorenzo or his second wife (whose name
I'm not sure of).
I'd also like to add some photos of your diCianno ancestors to the web site.
Some comments: spelling changed all over. You can generally ignore
spellings. DeLorenzo = diLorenzo = Lorenzo. In Italy the spelling was
diLorenzo so that is the one I tend to use.
The Christy DeLorenzo that died in Youngstown, do you know his first name in Italian?
ciao,
Mark

Hi Mark! Thanks for
all of the info! Wow, it was so special to see pics of my dad and
aunt when they were little tykes. For some reason, many of the
pics of my parents childhood did not make it to us, their children... I
only have pics of ELY on, and my dad moved there when he was in high
school. :-)
As far as Christy Delorenzo,
that is the only name I remember as he died before I was born. He
was married to my grandmother Filomena Delorenzo. In addition, my
mom Josephine DiCianno (married to Girlando) was Josephine DeLorenzo,
daughter of Christy and Filomena, and sister of Lena and Anthony, who
are both deceased. My mom is the oldest child of that
family. Christy Delorenzo also had a sister named Christina, one
of the many Chris/Christina's in the family that I was named after! :-)
My grandmother spoke of Christina often in a most loving way, telling
me how much she loved that I was named after her. I will talk to
my cousins and other family members to see if I can find anything more
around Delorenzo in case that leads us to your Flora.
I look forward to continue
reading your website, sharing with you whatever I can, and maybe one
day meeting you. I was in Italy this past summer for a couple of
weeks and plan on moving to southern France (Provence) within the next
12 months. By getting that close, one of my first adventures will
be to Italy to SPA, if I do not get there any sooner than that.
How fun this all is!
Thank you again for all of the information you are sharing with
us! I have two 'DiCianno' cousins in Reno also doing some
genealogy (children of Richard DiCianno & grandchildren of Amedeo
and Carmela DiCianno). I will ask my brother or sister (they both
live in Reno) to get with the cousins to see what they have found.
Thanks again!
-Chris |
Christine,
Do you know Filomena DeLorenzo's maiden name or the names of her parents? Was her family from SPA?
