Di Pierri - Boffa family from Viggiano

Posted by Marg Galli on April 25, 2014 at 15:51:06:

I am trying to find details of Vincenzo DiPierro & family from Viggiano who emigrated to USA/ Washington (resided at No.68 C Street NW, Washington) last known address around 1911.
Vincenzo DiPierro (1870-1952) buried St Mary's Catholic Cemetery, Washington with his wife Elena DiPierro (nee Boffa) (1866-1933). They had 3 children: Stella, Maria Rosa & Dominic (deceased 1964). Any information on descendants of Stella, Maria Rosa & Dominic would be appreciated.

Anna Maria Gallicchio (nee Boffa) sister of Elena DiPierro (nee Boffa). Anna Maria d.o.b. around 1880 emigrated to Australia around 1910. I am searching for information on the Boffa family of Viggiano or Saponara di Grumento.

I am also looking for descendants of and information on Stella DiPierro born 1892, brother Domenico DiPierro (1894 - 1964) and Maria Rosa DiPierro born 1900. All emigrated to Washington USA April 8, 1911.
