In the handwritten diagram you did sometime before I left you have a
question about Rosario teti's wife Marialuigi. Her last name is
correct as Tavani. Their daughter Maria Giuseppa teti's Madrina was
Luisa (di Antonio) Aspromonte!! And Filomena's birth was March 28,
1914 in TP.
In your message to me of August 11, you ask for fotos of the info I
found - these will come when I return, but I did check Angelo
Porreca's birth date. It is correct as April 28, 1854.
Giovina Porreca's birth date is March 22, 1895 (mother G. di Marco).
Yesterday I sent you a printout of what I wrote up on Liberantonio
Porreca. See what you think. There is also something for Lee in the
package.

Text: OK, early Christmas present - here's what I found:
1) Angela Porreca died March 30, 1926 in Torricella, age 76
2) Rosa Ficca, born June 18, 1856, died Dec. 24, 1888 (married Oct.
15, 1874)
3) Giacinta di Marco, born June 25, 1860, died April 14, 1899 (
married March 31, 1889, not Feb. 17, 1889). Father Luigi.
I had her mother as Filomena Crivelli, which may have been my mistake.
But I found only several Filomena Ficcas as women born from 1837 to
1844 - no Filomena Crivellis at all. What do you have?
4) Maria Giuseppa Teti, born Feb. 6, 1874, died April 21, 1943
(married Nov. 4, 1899). Parents were Rosario Teti and Maria Luigia
Tavani.
Some of this you have:
1) Mariano born dec. 30, 1910, married to Italina Croce January 18,
1930
2) Maria born April 10, 1903
3) Filomena born March 28, 1914 in Hazelton, PA
4) Nicola - can't find
There were no children born (that I could find) from 1899 through
1902.
Former husbands of the wives I will have to find at the Archivio in
Chieti when I go next week, plus Mariano's military record.
Other info:
1) soprannome - Chisse di Cruvello - family of Franchino Teti
- Chisse di Amadi - family of Ersilia Piccone
(this is Elio Porreca's grandmother who just died at 92 years (husband
was Porreca)
2) the Contrada name of Purgatoio is CORRECT. Purgatorio is NOT.
Please change. In fact, according to Pietro Ottobrini at the Comune,
we should not be using Frazioni for ANY of those areas we have listed
on the site (I was right - HA), including Fallascoso. ALL of them
should be listed as Contradas. You can wait and talk with Dan about
this before changing anything, but this is what he told me.
OK, gotta go. Un baccione, Angie
