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 My Father (77) is a member of the Abruzzi Lodge In Windber, Pa. I asked him about your relatives and he suggested you check with people living in Windber named Venzon or perhaps the Bell family. John Venzon, who's wife was Albina, 505 23rd St, Windber, Pa. 15963.....(814) 467-8240, Their son's named John also, 623 Sugar Maple Drive, Windber, Pa. 15963 (814) 467-6306, James Bell, 1044 Susquehanna Dr. , Johnstown, Pa (814) 255-1806 The Venzon Family are members at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, 2201 Graham Ave, Windber, Pa 15963 (814) 467-7292 hope this helps.
