She was born 17 January 1890 in Morlupo, near Rome, but she is registered in Castel Castagna on 2 February 1890 under the name Supito (or Zupito). Her father's name was DI ZOPITO Paolo and her mother's name was NICOLUCCI Maria. I found the arrival for my great grandfather through Ellis Island.org; he arrived on the ship Nord America in 1901 at age 39. My grandparents (Lorenzina's husband, my grandfather is URBANI Domenico, born 9 February 1884 in Basciano (TE)) and Aunt Maria arrived in 1911. For some reason they lived in Western Pennsylvania but eventually settled in Philadelphia. That's all I know. I know my father's cousin, URBANI Gaetanella Di NICOLO and her daughter DI NICOLO Margherita and her son are still in Basciano. Don't know much about the family in Castel Castagna other than the fact that my grandmother had 2 brothers and a sister. One brother was Rafaello who never married. Don't remember the other names. I have to check with my father. Follow Ups: Re: Castela Castagnu - Merlini/Zupiti/ Digiuseppe Joann   Posted at: 08/19/02 (0 replies)
