She always enjoined helping “Americani” tourists who occasionally ended up in Marsicovetere looking for their family roots. Your post made my day ❤️.

They came in France in 1890 and had to join other family members in Chicago but they stayed.

The name on their passport when tney came thru Ellis Island was spelled Pinnella. I have been to Marsicovetere twice and have visited the Commune and got copies of their records also. I guess we may just be related! Please contact me at MichaelPennelloPhotography@gmail.com if you want to compare notes. Loog forward to hearing from you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864915160917586390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494365310193527479.post-5416682273327279262013-06-24T17:57:17.206-06:002013-06-24T17:57:17.206-06:00I only just found this blog entry and wanted to le...I only just found this blog entry and wanted to let you know that I also have ancestors in Marsicovetere, and that you can find microfilmed images of very nearly ALL of the birth and death records for that town at FamilySearch.org where I've been doing my research. It's a free website, which is great, and if you search their Continental Europe collections under "Italy, Potenza," you'll find births and deaths recorded between 1866 and 1910, which should encompass your Marsicoveterese ancestors.<br /><br />I was able to find my own paternal great-grandfather and great-grandmother there and solve a major family mystery as to where my last name came from. Give it a try. I've already gone through those microfilms with a fine-toothed comb, and there are many Panellas, Pinellas, and other spellings of that name to be found.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494365310193527479.post-10162191103848353132011-10-18T02:20:00.667-06:002011-10-18T02:20:00.667-06:00I wanted to thank you all for your wonderful comme...I wanted to thank you all for your wonderful comments. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the blog and journey to Marsicovetere! I feel honored and blessed to have been able to take the trip and then share it with you. If any of you want a copy of the documents that I received while I was there, please let me know and I'll be more than happy to email them to you. Yes, I am so glad that I had the video of Grandma Kitty too... it is a treasure as she will turn 100 next year. It brings tears to all of our eyes as we realize her enthusiasm that we have grown to love all of our lives is not quite what it used to be. But the memories we can hold on to forever and her laughter and wit is something that has always been contagious and so special about her. If her brother (John) was anything like her, I would have loved to have known him! :) And, Cris how wonderful to have been named after your grandmother! Maryann... we couldn't have made the trip without you! Thanks so much to you and Frank for truly making the adventure so much fun and seriously to you for encouraging us to knock on that one woman's door!! <br /> <br />Love,<br />Carrieworldtravelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02036582071298506171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494365310193527479.post-66339215066648742612011-10-12T14:30:00.459-06:002011-10-12T14:30:00.459-06:00I have just viewed your blog on my computer, as op...I have just viewed your blog on my computer, as opposed to my phone, and have just been blown away. Your photos and narrative are spectacular. The video of Aunt Kitty brought tears to my eyes as I can clearly remember my father (Kitty's brother) singing that very same song with the same enthusiasm. All your efforts researching the Pinnella family were rewarded. Imagine meeting a Pinnella relative in the birthplace of your great-grandparents!
