Hello! I'm currently researching my PALLOTTI family roots, originally from Melfi, Basilicata. Raffaelle PALLOTTI left Italy for America in 1911, leaving behind his mother Filomena (?) LIMONGELLI and a father, whose name is yet unknown. He settled in Holley, New York and married Delia(Antionetta) Tarsia, daughter of Pasquale "Patsy" TARSIA and Maria Guiseppina ACCIARDI (or D'ACCIARDI according to Ellis Island records).My grandfather, Pasquale"Pat" Palotti, is Raffaelle and Delia's second child I am also researching my ACCIARDI family from Rocca Imperiale, Canna, and Oriolo in Cosenza, Italy. Please contact me if you have any formation about these two families. Thank you, Kevin Matthew Palotti
