Query Text:

I am looking for help/advice on how to locate records of ancestors and/or living descendants in Connecticut. The family surname I am interested in is D'Alimonte or Delmonte Enrico D'Alimonte (my grandfather); born: March 15, 1895, Turrivalignani, IT; died: Feb. 1968, Windber, Pennsylvania; his parents were: Fabio D'Alimonte and Mary Di Paolo I am also trying to find records of his parents (Fabio and Mary [Di Paolo]) as well as any siblings there might have been and any of their descendants. Enrico arrived in the USA on the Duca d'Aosta, June 26, 1912; he departed from Naples; when he came through Ellis Island his record shows he was to meet with a brother Guiseppe D'Alimonte. Here is what I know about Guiseppe D'Alimonte born: April 8, 1878 (presume it to be Turrivalignani but not documented); died: Feb. 1977 in Torrington, Litchfield, Connecticut; he lived on Tracy Ave. in Torrington; was married and had at least 7 children- Elena, Enrico, Ernest, Josephina, Victoria, and two daughters whose names are not clear (from the 1910 and 1920 federal census); - I have no documents on these family members; Guiseppe's wife's name was Margaret. She was born in Italy. (Nobody lives at the Tracy Ave., Torrington, CT address I have.) Rico was living in Brooklyn according to family members. A letter I wrote there was returned. He may have died. Guiseppe had a brother Paolo (Paul)D'Alimonte. (Paolo's last name is spelled Delmonte in most records.) He and his wife lived with Guiseppe for a while and then moved into thier own place. This is from the census data as well. Paolo was born in Italy. So was his wife, Clotilda Pesce. They also had at least seven children - Mollie, Mary, Margaret, John, Antoinette, Elvino and Alphonso. The children from both of these families were all born in CT. Constantine D'Alimonte was another brother. I do not know his age or much else about him. I do know he assumed the name of Joseph Marno when he arrived in the USA. He died in Port Washington, NY. He was married to Giovanna Contato - she was from Naro, Sicily; she died about 1966 in Norwich, NY. They had two boys Angelo and Ernest Marno (both now deceased). My grandfather once spoke of a sister but no family members know anything about her or if there were any other siblings. Where do I go from here? How can I find records or living descendants from the Torrington, CT families? All the brothers came from Turrivalignani, Italy. Is there a records office in Italy I can contact for thier records? Should I write the Church in Turrivalignani? (There is only one Catholic Chuch in Turri). Can anyone offer any help or suggestions? Thanks in advance. Thanks also to the owners of this wonderful site!
