email from great grandson, Tim Simmons, Oct 2008: "Hi Mark, I've been using your site a lot recently to research my family. With the help of some second & 3rd cousins, aunts, uncles etc, we've pieced together a good part of our family tree. Your "Graphical Family Tree (Part 2) Other DiVecchia branches..." links to our family. I can fill in some blanks on that page if you are interested in the information.

We are descended from the Marco DiVecchia & Maria Felice Palmieri marriage. They had two children Anna Gioconda DiVecchia and Carmine Divecchia (born 1886). Carmine and his wife Anna Maria DiPietroantionio, are my Great Grandfather and Great grandmother. Anna Marie's family is well documented back through the Pantalone family to the 1600's. I can trace Carmine back to Giacomo DiVecchia b 1735.

Carmine and Anna Maria had 6 children: Paolina, Jerry, Angelo (born 1919), Guido, Alba and Antionette. The latter 3 are still living and provided some of this information. Angelo was my grandfather, (died in 2001), he had 5 children my mother Shirley is one of them. I can provide all of the descendents of the 6 people above. But that's a lot of people. Angelo's descendents are all in northern California. All the rest are in the Boston area.

Thanks for making the information available!!"

email from great grandson, Tim Simmons, Oct 2008: "Paolina moved back to Italy. Jerry, Guido, Alba and Antionetta settled in the Boston area along with Carmine and his wife. Guiido, Alba and Antonetta are still living. They all have kids and grandkids. One family came out to visit maybe 8 years ago. I haven't had much contact with them, I met Alba when I was in high school, I'm 44 now."

email from granddaughter, Ann Marie Piantedosi, Oct 2008: "My Grandfather and his siblings: Carmine (my grandfather), Concetta, Maria, Anna Gioconda, Vito Antonio, Angelo, Anna"
Info from "Carmine DiVecchia Timeline.doc" from Tim Simmons as remembered by Guido DiVecchia: all of Carmine's children were born in Sant'Eufemia although, Giudo, Alba and Antionette were USC by birth.

"I just found out about this group, thought I would share a little bit about our family.

I'm the grandson of Angelo DiVecchia (1919-2000). His parents were Carmine (1886-1975) and Anna Maria diPietrantonio (1896-1974). They had 6 children: Paolina, Jerry, Angelo, Guido, Alba and Antionetta. Paolina did not emigrate to the USA. The others, except Angelo, settled in the Boston area. I keep in touch via Facebook with Guido's daughter Ann Marie, but sadly don't know anyone else from the Boston side of the family.

Angelo moved to the Monterey CA area. He met my Grandmother Idris (Sue) Dominic (still living). They had 5 children, John, Shirley, Linda (Carol), Sally, Jerry. John lives near my grandmother in Berry Creek CA, the others live in the Sacramento area. My mom, Shirley, passed away in 2010 at the age of 64.

John has 3 kids, Shirley 3, Linda 2, Sally 3, Jerry 3. Almost all of us have kids of our own, I have 2 daughters, 20 & 22 yrs old. I can't even keep track anymore how many Great grand kids Angelo and Sue have now, it must be close to 40.

Some of us grandkids live in the San francisco bay area, others are in the Sacramento area.

He had to work for the soldiers melting snow so that they could cook. He had to stay there for three months and when released he walked home. He told me it was about a three hour walk.

She herself told me that she had an older brother that lived in California. His name was Angelo , however they called him Johnny. She didn't know him well. She being the youngest stayed in Italy with her mother while her father was in America.. Eventually they came to Watertown , MA. I am uncertain as to when her siblings came to the states. I dont know her older brother, however, I do know the other siblings. Guido, lives in Waltham , MA, Alba DiVecchia Funari had lived in Needham , MA she recently moved to NH. Her brother Juerino ( jerry ) is deceased, he lived in Watertown . His age would be close to 90. He and my father were great friends. Antionette sister Paolina ( sp ) lived in Boston. Although I think she may have also lived a good part of her life in Sante'eufemia . She was much older than I, so I didn't really know her. Her son Nick and his wife Lena ( Alberico ) have a restaurant in the North End of Boston. I am just coming to realize that Paolina must have also married a DiPietrantonio ."

Felicito and Dorinda were married in 1886 per the SPA marriage records. Their son was probably born in 1887 but the records are missing for that year. I checked 1888 and 1889 but he does not appear in those years.
1898 11 May - Ellis Island, 10y, Francesco Frazzini di Felicito (son of Felicito), coming to the US traveling with Antonio Frazzini, the brother of Felicito. Going to Denver, CO. Not able to read/write. General Health - good, never before in the US.

1900 Census, Salida, Chaffee, CO, first name James, 35y, born 1865 in Italy, immigrated 1880. Wife Gertie. Sons - Louie and Fred.
James is a often seen translation from the Italian name of Vincenzo.

I'm assuming that James died about 1901 because by 1902, his wife Carolina had remarried to Felicito Frazzini.

Original name in Italy might be 'di Gianfrancesco' or 'diFrancesco'.
.
From the book, Colorado and The Italians in Colorado by Giovanni Perilli - "FIRST ITALIANS TO SETTLE IN DENVER -- 1872 : John di Gian Francesco with a few companions came in the Fall of the same year (1872), they being the third group of real Italian settlers in this city."
