In Reply to: Pasquale DeJulio, Roccacaramonico, Italy by Sandra Tessitore

Hi Sandra,
I'm just starting out in my search. All I know so far is that My Great Grandfather Eduardo Ercole De Julio was from Roccacaramonico also. He was born in 1884. His father was Agostino De Julio and his Mother was Enrichetta De Julio. Have you seen any of these names in your search? It is possible that they traveled through and maybe lived in Colorado. However, My Grandfather was born in Montpellier ID (Edward Daniel De Julio) in 1916. I have not been able to find record of any one of these people on the Ellis Island site. I'm just hoping that someone recognizes the names. There was an Agostino De Julio that came over in 1897 but there is no mention of Enrichetta. It appears he was traveling with an Annantonia De Julio, possibly a sister. I don't know if any of this makes sense--but its a start.

Hi Dana: My Husband andI just got back from Roccacaramonico and gathered a lot of information first hand in the all of records in Pescara. I remember this family as I hand copied the marriage. I just haven't gotten it sorted yet. If you can give me a couple of weeks to get my act together, will send you what I have. We saw the house of the elder Pasquale which is curretly being restored as well as that of Pasquale the grandson. I'll get back to you soon. Sandy

Mark's note, Sandy had contacted me in 2004. I've sent her an email on Sep 2014. Her and husband, Bob, responded with their notes about the diJulio family. They had Ercole as person number 52 in their data base.

guestbook entry by Elisa diCroce Mor�, Nov 2012: "I am a native of San Pietro Avellana (1949) My father was Emilio Di Croce (il Maggiore) (1908) and my mother was Paolina Cetra (1919) I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania since 1963. I would appreciate any information from your records regarding my great-grandparents. I am fluent in Italian and would like to hear from you or anyone with information. "

email from herself, Elisa diCroce Mor�, Nov 2012: "Ciao Mark and thanks for your quick response.

email from herself, Elisa diCroce Mor�, Nov 2012: "My entire family traveled to New York from Napoli on the "Cristoforo Colombo" March 3 to the 11, 1963."

As a way of introduction, I am actually Corrado Di Croce's cousin. He is married to your cousin Donatella Colaianni. This past August, my husband and I were fortunate to spend time with them in San Pietro as their oldest son Michele was married. What a fabled wedding and feasts!

As to my ancestors: my maternal grandparents are Silvestro Cetra and Cristina Gentile di Francesco Gentile and Maria Falcione. (You might find this familiar since I am also second cousin to Virgilio Gentile) My grandfather's Silvestro's parents were Giovanni Cetra and Elisabetta no maiden name. Actually the first name Giovanni is not for sure. My paternal grandparents were Amico Di Croce and Chiara Colaizzi. Sadly all I know of their parents is that Chiara Colaizzi's mom's first name was Elisabetta. she was married twice, and was also the biological mother of Silvestro Cetra. I have no information on my paternal great-grandparents.

My husband (Luciano Mor� who was also born in Italy in Roio Del Sangro in the Abbruzzo region) and I recently retired and have spent part of the past two summers in Italy, I became interested in our ancestors. Therefore I am collecting information on both of our families in the hope of building a family tree. Your willingness to help is touching and very generous. It is deeply appreciated! Grazie e ciao, Elisa"

He was nursed back to health by a friend's family (Oliviero and Lesina Di Lorenzo) who had been warned of possible contageous consequenses to their entire family."

It seems that Francesco Amico diCroce immigrated to the US around 1908 and returned to Italy a few years later. This would put some light to the posting I saw on your website about an "Emico Di Croce". The birth date and age seem to match.

email from himself, Antonio Vernucci, Dec 2009: "You may remember that in year 2005 we had an e-mail exchange regarding San Pietro Avellana, the birthplace of my father Alfredo Vernucci.

At that time we also spoke about my uncle Luigi Lembo (the husband of Aida Lembo, my father's sister) appearing in the misterious Militia photo, who was the father of my cousins Carlo Lembo and Davide Lembo both living in Rome.

Reading your e-mail I realized that you hold an ham-radio licence with call K3FWT. I just wanted to let you know that I also hold an Italian ham-radio licence with call I0JX since 1968, as well as an US ham-radio licence with call AB6VZ (1993) eventually turned into the vanity call K0JX in 1996.

Also my cousin Carlo Lembo holds an ham-radio licence with call I0LB since the mid fifties, though he is no longer very active. Davide has no licence, but he is obviously well aware of what ham radio is.

Our one-by-two calls (I0JX and I0LB) belong to an old call series that are no longer being re-issued when becoming available. Therefore, it is today very uncommon to meet Italian hams having such short calls. Current calls have six characters (e.g. IZ0ABC).

Best wishes for year 2010."
