compobassoso mapShe came from Ferrazzano which is a town south of the town of Campobasso in the region of Molise. Her husband Carmine Martino came from a nearby town of Monacilioni. This is south east of Rome and north east of Naples. Although their towns are some what in the same area of Italy, both had been in the US a number of years before they married. Clementina's brothers lived near Carmen in Philadelphus and were all stone masons.

dominica This is the death certificate for Dominica Perrella d.13 Aug 1811 age 90 and represents the person with the earliest birth date from the civil registration records that I found. 

The way the record reads is that the first part has the date the certificate was filed and the names and detail about the persons filing the record. The middle section has the name of the deceased, age, and residance, date of death followed by at the end the section who she was a daughter 'figlia' of. The final section has some standard boilerplate with the signitures.

In later records you find occupation added in and sometimes the spouse name. Note the document lists her maiden name and not her married name.

Francesca Baranello, As I did the work though another person emerged who also became interesting just through the dates and photos. It was Francesca Baranello. She was the only great-grandparent of Carmen's to come to this country. Her father died when she was four. Her mother married her husband Carlo's father the same day she married Carlo at age 13. 13 was very young and I found no such other early marriages in the family. Did they marry because their parents didn't want 2 unmarried, unrelated young people in the house? The only sibling I could find was a half-sister born from this second marriage a little before her first son was born when she was 15. At 37 she became a widow with several small children. A few years later both her mother and step-father died within months of each other. A few years after that she came to the US where she already had some sons living.  Two of her daughters were considered wonderful seamstresses. This photo shows her making a quilt. Did she support herself through sewing? She did have one vanity - she fibbed about her age after she left Italy. According to her tombstone she would have been 6 when her first son was born! I have the actual records so the birth date I have here is correct. In each census of 1900, 1910, and 1920 she lived with a different child. All in all she must have been one strong lady.

Cerio

Cerio Name Meaning: Southern Italian: from a variant of the personal name Ceri which is probably from a diminutive of the personal name Ceri, which has various origins: it can be a topographic name (see Cerro); a nickname for someone with curly hair, from Latin cirrus ‘lock’, ‘curl’; alternatively, it can be from a diminutive of Ricciere, Riccieri (more commonly found as Rizziero), with loss of the first syllable; or from a short form of the Latin occupational name cereterius ‘wax seller’.

Valerio

Valerio Name Meaning: Spanish and Italian: from the personal name Valerio (Latin Valerius, a Roman family name ultimately derived from Latin valere ‘to flourish’, ‘to be strong and healthy’). The name was borne by several minor Christian saints, among them 4th-century bishops of Trier and Zaragoza and 5th-century bishops of Sorrento and of Antibes.

  Genealogy is my hobby and I actually did the work for my husband Carmen and his family. As I completed this work Carmen asked me who my favorite person was. At the start it was Carmine Martino because I heard many stories about him. He is remembered by many of his grandchildren plus I loved the image of him in his white dapper suit surrounded by his 7 sons. He still fascinates me.

The reading of the Italian records was interesting as I had no experience and do not read or speak Italian much less the formal Italian of 100-200 years ago. One of the most interesting things I learned is that Italian women did not change their name when they married. In the very early morte (death) records the spouse was not even listed. This made it much easier to trace them as remarriages if their husband died did not effect the name on their death record.
