Rudolph Albi, age 47. Arrived NY on  SS Berengaria Oct 17, 1921 from Cherbourg. The person below his name is Teresa Frazzini,  age 16; handwritten notation "Niece". Both going to 1650 Vine Street, Denver, Col. Teresa is the daughter of Prospero Frazzini.

Date sent:         Fri, 19 Sep 2003 From:               Pat Lauterbach Subject:            RE: Teresa and Lina Frazzini Well, this is interesting.  Rudolph Albi is Dr. Albi - the doctor that delivered my mother and my mother's brother.  So, if he is the uncle of Teresa Frazzini, that gives a new angle to search. Thanks for the tip.

Well, what do you know?   Dr. Rudolph Albi was the doctor who delivered none other than Geraldine Frazzini (me) to Nicholas and Gwendolyn Griffin Frazzini on July 11, 1929, at their home at 3119 Wyandotte Street in Denver Colorado.   It is utterly amazing how much we all are learning.  It continues to be a fantastically fascinating search.   Jerri Frazzini Bottomly.

I would like to have more information on the man who brought me into the world.  He must have been a wonderful doctor, because I recall everyone in my family talking about his wonderful bedside manner and his ability as a physician. I look forward to getting the information. Your web site is a great gift to all of us.  Thank you so much, Mark. Jerri Bottomly

It was signed by Albi as the doctor for her birth. She was born in Denver above the bank, and used the bank as the place of birth. Albi signed the certificate as the attending doctor. Its a declaration made in 1941 for a lost or never made certificate. Franklin

Headline	Date & Newspaper	Summary ("quotes" are from the article, other comments are mine)
Mrs. Rudolph Albi Dies After Illness	19 Feb 1935 Rocky Mountain News	"Mrs. Rosina Albi, wife of Dr. Rudolph Albi of 1650 Vine St ...died at St. Anthony's Hospital at 11:35 PM last night. Mrs. Albi was 58. Besides her husband, she is survived by three children, Dr. Peter Albi of San Francisco; Dr. Marie Louise Albi and Wanda Albi of Denver." Her maiden name is Rosina Bartolin. I believe that "Dr. Marie Louise Albi" is Mrs. Pietro DeLuise. She is Marie, daughter of Rudolph & Rosina.
Mrs. Rosina Albi, Wife of Well Known Physician is Dead	19 Feb 1935 Denver Post	"Mrs. Albi was born in Italy and had been a resident of Denver thirty-four years. Besides her husband, she is survived by four children. The four are Mrs. Piero DeLuise, Wanda Albi and Roger, all of Denver, and Dr. Peter Albi of San Francisco." The article is accompanied by a photo of Mrs. Albi by Morganti Studio. Mrs. Piero DeLuise is daughter, Marie.
Denver Physician Given High Honor by Native Italy	7 Mar 1940 Denver Post	"For thirty-eight years, nineteen of them as an American citizen, Dr. Rudolph Albi worked for the scientific and social progress of his adopted country... Thursday, the eminent physician received notification that pleases the king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel III, with the approval of Il Duce Benito Mussolini, to bestow upon him the award of the grande ufficiale of the crown of Italy. Dr. Albi came to the United States thirty-eight years ago... He has assisted at the births of hundreds of babies. He has four children, Mrs. Piero de Luise, Mrs. Wanda Cerese of Chicago, Dr. Roger Albi of Santa Fe, NM and Piero Albi of San Francisco."
Dr. R. Albi Honored By Italian Government for His Achievements	20 Apr 1940 Denver Democrat	"He is regarded as one of  Denver's finest surgeons ...."
Italy Honors Dr. Rudolph Albi	23 Oct 1949 Rocky Mountain News	"The highest cultural honor of the Italian people -- membership to the Academia Cosentino founded by the philosopher Telesio in the 16th century -- has been bestowed on Dr. Rudolph Albi, Denver physician. The doctor came to Denver in 1902 to begin medical practice. In the past 46 years he has delivered two generations of Denverites and is especially beloved by the state's residents of Italian heritage."
Regular Vets Assn. Honors Doctor Albi	9 Aug 1952 Rocky Mountain News	"The national commander of the Regular Veterans Assn. yesterday presented a citation for distinguished civic service to Dr. Rudolph Albi, 670 Columbine St...."
Dr, Albi Dies in California	Friday 23 Oct 1953 Denver Post	"Dr. Rudolph Albi, 77, of 670 Columbine Street, died early Thursday in San  Jose, Calif, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Eugene Cerese... He was born Feb. 28, 1874 at Grimaldi, Italy .... He was married in 1902 in Denver to Rosina Bartolin, who died here in 1935. He is survived by two sons, Dr. Piero Albi and Dr. Roger Albi, both of Denver; two daughters, Mrs. Piero DeLuise of Denver and Mrs. Cerese of San Jose; a sister, Mrs. Julia Albi, and a brother, Dr. Alexander Albi of Biella, Italy; eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild ." So the death date would be the day before or Thursday Oct 22, 1953.

Rudolph Albi was my great uncle. His sister, my Zia Julia, more or less raised my father Frank S. Albi from the time he immigrated in 1915 at the age of 16. I remember Zia Julia from visiting her almost every Sunday with my father where she lived with Piero Albi and his wife Evelyn at 711 Elizabeth in Denver.   I found the following on your Web page         Albi, Frank; Escolastica Montoya 30 Jul 1924 La Plata 726       Albi, Frank S.; Della Lotito 31 Dec 1939 Arapahoe 23376 Frank S. and Della are my parents. The mystery is - could the Frank Albi who married in 1924 also be my father. If so, this was a previous marriage of which I has no knowledge. Is there any further identifying information about that first Frank Albi?   Frank J. Albi

Frank, Good to hear from an Albi. I've copied this email to all the people on my Prospero Frazzini list. That includes Jerri, who was delivered by your great uncle and Pat, whose mother and uncle he delivered. As you might have noted from the web site, we came across Rudolph's name as we were researching Prospero, and  in his case, it was the Ellis Island manifest where he was travelling with Teresa Frazzini, Prospero's daughter. Would it be ok if I put your email on the web page? I don't know about the first marriage entry. That information was sent to me by Pat and I'm pretty sure it is just from civil records, not from any personal account. I don't know if La Plata and Arapahoe counties are close together or far apart. Do you know if he ever lived in La Plata county? Was your grandfather or grandmother, then, Rudolph's sibling? Did he/she ever come to the US? Were they from San Pietro Avellana? We would be interested in learning more about Dr. Albi. If you have any photos or information that you could share, I would like to add that my web site. Of course, for us, the question is why were Rudolph and Teresa Frazzini traveling together on that trip from Italy? Thanks again for contacting us and Happy New Year. Mark

Found your data on Dr. R. Albi... and trying to fit it together.

Gina, Thanks for your email. Let me know what you find out. We don't know very much about Rudolph Albi. Just a small connection to the Frazzini family in Denver. Mark

I recently randomly ran across your name  and it appears we may have some relationship in bloodlines or historic friendship.  One of my ancestors was Dr. Albi who resided in Denver.  He might be my grand uncle, but I am not sure of that.  I heard my father speak of him many times, but he was gone before my birth.  I have also learned that many of my ancestors came from Grimaldi Italy as did Dr. Albi.  Even as a young child, I noticed the respect that some of my older relations expressed when speaking about Dr. Albi.  I grew up in Los Angeles , but am now retired and live near Sandpoint, Idaho and running a small business.  Coincidentally I found a small branch of the Albi living here; The most famous (?) being Joe Albi (my dad knew him) who has a sports stadium named after him in nearby Spokane Washington. This genealogy stuff is fascinating. John Albi Sanpoint, Idaho

John, Thanks for you email. I've heard from a couple of Albi's since I put up this web page. I've copied them on this email. They are Frank Albi and Gina Albi. Dr. Albi was Frank's great uncle. I don't recall if we ever found out how Gina was related. Ciao. Mark

Another dentist was Dr. John Albi of Spokane. He was the brother of Evelyn Albi who was married to Dr. Piero Albi, the son of Dr. Rudolph Albi. Another Pacific-Northwest branch of the family is Todd Albi who now lives in Eugene. Frank J. Albi

Frank, Thanks for the info on all the "Dr. Albi's".  I was able to confirm my grandparents name from the search from rootsweb.com that Mark showed in his email; They are Pasquale Albi and Rosina Brindise who were married in Denver in 1894.  I have a picture of my grandfather in his Italian military uniform, but was not sure of his first name.

I am the daughter of the late Dr. Serge and Ione Aiello of Denver. I found this site and just wanted to contact you and say hello. We've probably met.

Date:            Fri, 30 Dec 2005 20:21:16 -0600 From:            ginmaree <ginmareecomcast.net> Subject:         Albi Family Connection My grandfather was Guiseppi Albi who came to USA on May 22, 1902 on the ship "Pennsylvania".  The manifest shows he was from Grimaldi.  He was 18 at the time.  I am also aware that he had a brother Michael that went west.  My grandfather lived in Brooklyn, New York most of his life.  I did find him and his brother on the draft role for WWI before his brother left. In his old age he lived in Dover, New Jersey. I do have some pictures of him and he actually looks like the picture of Rudolph Albi on your site, just without the mostache. I am searching my heritage and found your site. Sincerely, Virginia Hansen

Virginia, Thanks for your email.  Your grandfather is no doubt related somehow to the Albi's in the west.  I've copied several other Albi descendants who have contacted me over the years. Maybe they can give you more information. Happy New Year, Mark

Date:            Tue, 06 Dec 2005 13:06:45 -0700 From:            Amy Albo <amyliston.com> Subject:         Question Hi there, I came across your website while trying to research some of my ancestry and wondered if you had any info. My grandfather, Dominic Albo and his brother, Vincenzo, were from Grimaldi, Italy. Born in the 1880s. They settled in Helper, Utah and apparently Vincenzo changed his name to Albi. He married and then was drafted and killed in World War I. In fact he was the first casualty for the state of Utah. His wife, upon hearing of his death and pregnant with her second child, died tragically while trying to give herself an abortion. So we've lost track of their then 2-year-old daughter or any of her progeny, if she had any. It's rumored that she went to Denver, and my dad thinks her name was Francesca. I'm wondering if the Vincenzo Albo that they have recorded as a Denver resident and a WW I casualty is actually the same man or someone different. Any ideas on where I might pursue this information? Thanks for your time. Amy

Amy, Thanks for your email. I've seen many family names from Italy change the last letter from "o" to "i". In my family's case: Frazzino->Frazzini and Carlino->Carlini. But it happened in Italy before the immigrants arrived here. I think in any case, all the Albi's and Albo's that you find are the same family. I noticed that the Rudolph Albi on my web site is from Grimaldi as are your Albi's. On the web page, there are three other Albi decendents who have contacted me over the years. I've copied them on this email. I did some quick checking on ancestry.com. In the 1910 census, there were five Alb*. Three are in Helper Precinct, Carbon, UT. Antonio Albo     Helper Pct, Carbon, UT         abt 1853           White     Male Frank Albo     Helper Pct, Carbon, UT         abt 1885           White     Male James Albo     Wellington Pct, Carbon, UT     abt 1891           White     Male Pasquale Albo     Helper Pct, Carbon, UT         abt 1871           White     Male Frank Alby     2-Wd Salt Lake city, Salt Lake, UT     abt 1870           White     Male No Vincenzo or Domenico though. This must be the WWI death that you mentioned: ------------------------------------------ WWI, WWII, and Korean War Casualty Listings Name:     Vincenzo Albi State Registered:     Utah Death Date:     4 Oct 1918 Cemetery:     Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery Cemetery Burial Plot:     Plot B Row 18 Grave 35 Cemetery City:     Romagne Cemetery Country:     France War:     World War I Title:     Private, U.S. Army Rank:     Private Service:     U.S. Army Division:     109th Infantry Regiment, 28th Infantry Division Data Source:     World War I Honor Roll ------------------------------------------ Here is what might be his WWI Draft Registration. ------------------------------------------ WWI Civilian Draft Registrations Name:     Albi, Vincenzo Birth Date:     10 May 1891 Birth Place:     Grimaldi Italy City/County:     Helper, Carbon State:     UT Ethnicity:     W ------------------------------------------ Also one for Francesco Albo, Helper, Carbon, UT ------------------------------------------ WWI Civilian Draft Registrations Name:     Albo, Francesco Birth Date:     15 Jan 1885 Birth Place:     rel. lives Grimaldi Cosenza It City/County:     Carbon State:     UT Ethnicity:     W ------------------------------------------ Also one for Sam Albo, Castle Gate, Carbon, UT ------------------------------------------ WWI Civilian Draft Registrations Name:     Albo, Sam Birth Date:     9 Jul 1876 Birth Place:     naturalized citizen City/County:     Carbon State:     UT Ethnicity:     W ------------------------------------------ And a Domenic Joe Albo: ------------------------------------------ WWI Civilian Draft Registrations Name:     Albo, Domenic Joe Birth Date:     16 Oct 1899 Birth Place:     citizen of Italy City/County:     Carbon State:     UT Ethnicity:     W ------------------------------------------ A couple census listings for Domenic Albo: Domenic Albo, 40y, with wife Mary, children James and Frances in the 1930 Census, Helper, Carbon, UT.

Occupation, Hostler for the Roundhouse. ------------------------------------------ Is this your GF? I'm not sure how much of this you have seen. Have you seen the WWI Draft Registration form for Vincenzo? If not, I can email the scan that I got from ancestry.com. So it looks like all of these Albi's/Albo's are from Grimaldi and many lived in Carbon County, UT. You can possibly get a lot more info on Vincenzo Albi to see if he is your greatuncle. Look at http://www.archives.gov/veterans/ where you can send in requests for military records. About Francesca Albi, I found a particularly interesting 1930 census sheet from Denver. It shows the following family:     John J. Albi, 24y, head of household     Sadie M. Albi, 23y wife     Cora Lee Albi, 5y, daughter     Paetar (?) Albi, 77y, father     Adeline Albi, 50y, mother     Francis M. Albi, 15y, boarder (female, born in UT) This sure looks to me like it might be Francesca, a boarder (so not related directly to John). As I look at the 1920 census from Denver, there is another  interesting family:     Peter Albi, 65y, head of household     Adeline Albi, 46y, wife     Miller L. Albi, 21y, son     Fred Albi, 19y, son     Frederico Albi, 15y, son     John Albi, 13y, son     Josephine Albi, 12y, daughter     Edward Albi, 10y, son     Frances Albi, 5y, niece (says born in CO) So I think this really must be her. Peter must be a brother of Vincenzo. Do you know if that is true? Looks like after the death of her parents, she went to live with her uncle Peter Albi and his family in Denver. (Also I think some of those Albi's are on the list of marriages on my Rudolph Albi web page.) Amy, there you are - a few more clues.... I can email you these census scans if you want them. Ciao e Buon Fortuna. Mark

I spent several hours trying to find information on the web, but couldn't really come up with much. Obviously, I didn't know where or how to look. Francis Albi must be my dad's 1st cousin who went to live with relatives in Denver. I am going to forward this all to my dad and try to sort it out. I think he will be very interested and happy to have the information. Dominic is my paternal grandfather. I thought my great uncle's name was James, but I could only find a Vincenzo that was a WWI fatality. So I think James Albi is my grandfather's brother, and Francis Albi is his daughter. I'll keep looking into this. I actually went to Grimaldi and stayed with some relatives there. Have you ever been there? It's a completely different Italy from Florence, where I  was studying, but everyone was very warm and welcoming. Thanks again. I really appreciate your help. Tanti Auguri, Amy

From:            Mark DiVecchio <markdsilogic.com> To:              Amy Albo <amyliston.com> Subject:         Re: Vincenzo Albi Genealogy UT->CO Date:            Wed, 07 Dec 2005 20:29:37 -0800 Amy, May I use your email on my web page? Maybe someone else will see it - like maybe someone who knew Frances. The 1930 census is the last one that is publically available. Its more difficult to find factual information for events after 1930 BUT there are many people still alive from that period so the trick now is to find Albi's in Denver and find out if they knew Frances. There are a lot of Albi's in Colorado. One thing that I've done, with some success, is to get names of addresses and just send out letters to all the Albi's you can find. I call these my "Are you my cousin?" letters. Let me know what else you find. I'd be interested if you ever find a relationship to Rudolph Albi. Ciao. Mark

There were some new finds which I will send you but in particular was this Naturalization record for Vincenzo Albi which mentions that his wife is dead and he has one daughter, Frances. (So, in fact, his wife died before he did, not after.) It was taken at Camp Kearny (which was about 5 miles from where I now live in San Diego). About Frances, it says that she was born March 20, 1915 at Helper, UT and now resides at Denver, CO. That birth date matches (almost) the birth date shown in the Social Security Death Index for Frances M. Root (it lists the day as the 21st). Since she is listed in the SSDI, you can get a copy of her application for Social Security number (SS-5). That application will list both of her parents names. If you go to http://www.rootsweb.com and search for her, you will find her SSDI record. With that information is a link where you can get a copy of a letter to send to the government (with $27) to get a copy of the SS-5. ciao. Mark

Burgozano you will find him listed as a cousin of Dr. Albi in Denver Co.  It is my understanding that he took a trip each year back to Italy.  From what I could tell it was to help family members and others in Italy to make their way to the United States.  I was wondering if in any of your research you might have heard of any family links or connections to him or his family?    Sincerely, Jackie Whittaker Beaumont, Texas

Jackie, Thanks for your email. I can't help you with John Burgozano. I've not heard that name before. I checked ancestry.com and familysearch.com but couldn't add anything to what you know. I have copied several other Albi descendants on this email. Maybe one of them can help. Ciao. Mark

No mention of the big branch of the Albi family from Grimaldi that ended up in Western Canada, especially in Winnipeg and Edmonton. My grandfather, Frank Albi (Francesco Albo), left Grimaldi in the early 1900s as a young boy with his father Napoleone Garibaldi Albo. They went to Pueblo, Colorado where my great grandfather and other paesan were working in coal mines. My grandfather came to Winnipeg, Canada around 1914, still a teenager, and remained until his death in 1988. He was a friend of Ralph Welch (Raffaele Veltri) who ran a company that supplied labor for railway construction in Western Canada. He operated grocery stores, a downtown restaurant called the Columbus Lunch, and then worked as a chef until he was 80. My father is Dr. Wilfred Napoleon Peter Albi and my uncle is Dr. Frank J. Albi, both retired GPs who served the small but close-knit Italian community in Winnipeg. Back in the 1950s, my father and grandfather drove from Winnipeg to Denver to see relatives though I don't know exactly who. Now there aren't too many Albis left in Winnipeg but we were one of the original Italian families there. By the way, one of my great uncles, Joe Amantea, used to say that back in Calabria, in olden days, the Albis were somehow involved in importing white horses from Muslim North Africa. Probably just a myth but it could explain the origin of the name Albo/Albi, derived from white (albus in Latin) or from Arabic (albi means my heart). I include an interesting link by another Albi in Edmonton, who refers to my grandfather and other families from Grimaldi. http://www.albertasource.ca/abitalian/background/alta_interwar.html cheers, Christopher Albi

Its great to learn about the branch of the Albi's who lived in Canada. Maybe from these Albi, you can learn who your father and grandfather visited in Denver. Mark

Albi who now lives in Cincinnati but was born in Denver. My father was Francesco Salvatore Albo born March 13, 1899, in Grimaldi. I have been wondering about the "northern" branch of our family. I am in touch with family now living in Spokane, Washington and Eugene, Oregon. I will send you a link to a family tree I have posed on ancestry.com. I look forward to communicating with you about our ancestors. However, I will be traveling practically the entire month of June. Have a look at the tree I am sending you and let's communicate again later. Frank J. Albi frankjalbigmail.com
