I am trying to trace anyone of this name. My mother came from a small town in central Italy called Ripa Teatina in the Abbruzzo region. : : Hello Anna! My grandparents immigrated from the same village in the early 1900s. My paternal grandparents' names were Antonio and Teresa (DeFrancesca) LaMonaca. Antonio's parents were Ralph and Philamina (Marinelli) LaMonaca. I recall my aunts communicating with their cousin, Roberto, who lived in Rome. Hi Rocco! We may indeed be related. Mr great-great-grandparents were Raffaele (Ralph) and Filomena (Philamina) La Monaca. Please write to me at studleyinv- AT - bigpond.com and we can exchange information. I assume you are in the US. I am in Australia. I have found a number of La Monacas in the US who are potential relatives and I am in touch with them. We are working on a family tree. Looking forward to hearing from you.
