PERESIE

Joseph PERESIE and his wife Enrica BIZZETTI both are believed to have come from that section of Northern Italy that was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In his citizenship papers, Joseph renounced allegiance to Franz-Josef of Austria-Hungary. So far, the only clues I have about his background are this notation, a photograph from a studio with branches in Trento and Roveretto and my grandmother's assertion that Joseph cam from Trente Trieste. He settled in Jefferson Co, PA and worked as a coal miner. Louis Charles and his family moved to Erie Co, NY, about 1941-1942.
