Title: Alaimo Family Tree (Sicily)
Post by: HistoricalGenealogy on Wednesday 24 May 23 23:56 BST (UK): I am looking for the parents of Concetta Alaimo who was born sometime around 1895 in Gerace, Sicily.

Help would be appreciated.

*For anyone wondering, Leonardo DiPeri (1888-) & Concetta (1895-) are spouses. They also immigrated to the US but they weren't married yet when the immigrated.

Post by: amondg on Thursday 25 May 23 05:39 BST (UK): The 1920 census for Patterson, Passaic New Jersey, 173 Bridge Street

Anthony Baldanza 33 born Sicily /Italy citizen 1907 PA
Josephina 27 wife born Sicily/Italy 27 citizen 1908 PA
Liberis Baldanza son 6 born New Jersey
Concetta Baldanza 3 10/12 born New Jersey
Leonardo Di Peri 31 born Sicily brother in law
Consetta Di Peri 25 born Sicily/Italy sister

------------
It would indicate Josephina and Concetta are sisters .

Do you have Concetta's death certificate? It will list her parents names. She died 1930 Patterson New Jersey, re her gravestone. The obituary of Leanardo/Leonard Di Peri says she died 1928.

The marriage certificate would also have her parents names, they married 1919 New Jersey
(certificate number 09445)

I think this should be Geraci Siculo, Sicily.

Father Giovanni Alaimo

Father Giovanni Alaimo

Uncle Antonia Gabriele

(Concetta changed hers to Mary?)

Could there be any records after 1861 (that are not restricted)?

(I'm not sure about the surname)
Title: Re: Alaimo Family Tree (Sicily)
Post by: HistoricalGenealogy on Thursday 25 May 23 22:55 BST (UK): Here's the translation for the Marriage record:

Quote
Giovanni Alaimo, single, age 28, laborer, born/residing in Geraci Siculo, son of Salvatore and of Vincenza Palazzolo, residing in Geraci Siculo

Domenica Palazzolo, single, age 24, houswoman, born/residing in Geraci Siculo, daughter of Nicolo and of Giuseppa Alfonso, residing in Geraci Siculo

Witnesses Vincenzo Spellina, age 40, shoemaker, and Cosimo Vivinetto, age 50, ?

Publicastions made 28 Apr and 5 May, no opposition, read to all and signed below except the bride who declared she didn't know how to write

So now we know Concetta's Grandparents.
