Subject:   Montanino/Colaluca/Tortolani

Hi - my family emigrated to Scotland around 1895. Like so may others we have been involved in the Fish and Chip/Ice cream business for over a hundred years.

My great Grandfather was Pasquale Montanino, born Italy 1877/78. His parents were Vincenzo Montanino and Margaritta Tortolani.

In 1899 Pasquale married Maria Colaluca, daughter of Fillipo Colaluca and Bennadetta Di Paulo.

Does anyone have any information on these families? I would love to hear from anyone seaching for their Scots-Italian family roots so that we could pool ideas
