My maternal great grandparents and my grandmother and great aunt were born in Roccamorice. Guiseppe Antonio Pietrangelo ,born 1875 married Pasqua Rosa DiMillo ,born 1877 (daughter of Antonio DiMillo and Angelia DiPronia). Maria Concetta Pietrangelo ,born 1901 and her sister Roasaria ,born 1905. My grandmother and her sister arrived at Ellis Island 9-25-1913 and joined their parents in Duluth or Hibbing Minnesota. Their last name changed to Petrangelo. Seven more children were bornin Minnesota. The entire family moved to Palms (Los Angeles), California in the early 1920s. There were other related Pietrangelos who settled in the Buffalo, New York area whose last name changed to Peterangelo. I am looking for information regarding ancestry of Guiseppe and Pasqua Rosa as well as the related Minnesota Petrangelo's & the New York Peterangelos.

Any information that can be had on Domenica Nicolai and Camillo Simone would be appreciated. Domenica's mother remarried when she was a young girl, therefore, it's unclear if she was actually from LaRocca or LuLette. She lived in both towns. References to her as been Domenica d'albarose, La Struchine and Domenica Di Matte. Married to Camillo Simone from LaRocca, together they had 10 children - Cesidio (Cid), Salvatore (Sam), Donato (Danny), Maria, Santino (Sandy), Agostino (Gus), Emilio, Angelina, Rosalia (Rosie), Pasquale (Pat). Camillo was referred to as Camille de Tonde and Camille d'albarose.
The majority of the offspring have married piesani and familial intertwining has ensued with families Menna, Palumbo, Esposito, D'Alimonte (2) and DiGiovanni.
Cid, Sam, Danny, Sandy and Gus immigrated to Canada intermittent between the early and mid 50's, followed by their parents and younger siblings in 1957. Any information on these families would be appreciated.
