My grandmother was Maria Concetta Paradiso (1882-1917), born in Campobasso. Her father was Carmine Antonio Paradiso (1852 to 1886), a pyrotechnics artist, who put on fireworks shows. He was killed preparing such a show in September, 1886. His father, my great-great grandfather was Lionardantonio (Leonardo), who was also a pyrotechnics artist, born in San Bartolomeo in Galdo (1825-1896) but who later lived and died in Campobasso. Carmine Antonio married Rosina Poce of Campobasso,daughter of Francesco Paolo Poce of Campobasso. My grandmother married Michele Arcangelo Berardinelli (1880-1958) of Pietracatella (CB). She died in New York City in 1917. : -------------- : I am trying to locate any relatives of my parents who came to the U.S. prior to 1924. Mother's name was Lucy (Lucia) Paradiso and father's name was Salvatore (Sam) Pietrantano(not sure of spelling--spelled many ways). They were from the San Bartolomeo area. They went directly to Richmond, IN and eventually moved to Columbus, OH. Father had a niece, also named Lucy, who was married to Sam Ricci who changed his name to Rich. Mother had relatives in NY [don't know where], also in Canada [don't know that either!]. Just looking for that needle in the haystack! Please email me at mpatton- AT - computelnet.com. Thanks!
