Grandfather's name Paolo. Grandmother Marie. Also known as Leopoldo and Marie Calabrese. Came to US sometime from 1890-1910. Settled in Pennsylvania (Windber) coal mining region. Belonged to local Abbruzzi Lodge in Windber, PA, USA. Know there are relatives existing, don't know region. if you go to http://web.livenet.it/tele.shtml you will see the Biasella are concentrated in the Castel di Sangro - Isernia area The Calabrese surname instead is very common in a number of provinces, and cannot give a cue to the origin. We would suggest finding the death certificate and birth date. If he belonged to the Abruzzi Lodge, he should have come from Abruzzi or Molise Follow Ups:   Re: Italian Grandparents marcociofani   Posted at: 01/27/01 (6) Re: Italian Grandparents BDK   Posted at: 01/15/03 (5) Re: Italian Grandparents Anderson Venzon   Posted at: 12/14/03 (1) Re: Italian Grandparents BDK   Posted at: 12/15/03 (0 replies) Re: Italian Grandparents Anderson Venzon   Posted at: 12/14/03 (1) Re: Italian Grandparents BDK   Posted at: 12/15/03 (0 replies) Re: Italian Grandparents Anderson Venzon   Posted at: 09/06/03 (0 replies)
