They were Raffaella De Leonardis b. 24 Feb 1851 and Anna De Leonardis b. 3 Sep 1866. Two of Raffaella's daughters married two brothers of my maternal grandmother. They emigrated with their families to USA and their descendants are still living there. I have no further info on these women at present although may be able to source their parents details and possibly any brothers they may have had. : The Abruzzo 2000 genealogy site has a facility for checking whether names are still current in a given Comune and De Leonardis is no longer listed in Pacentro but that doesn't necessarily allow for women of that name who are now married. The male line may have disappeared only recently. : Anyway, if you think they may tie in to your De Leonardis family and want to contact me for further info, please post a follow-up. : Hope this reaches you - my last try at posting this message just disappeared into the ether. : Regards : Alex Bull Follow Ups:
