Everyone, I’m trying to find some information for Mike Gillotte (mostly his parents names), and am hoping some of you may be able to give me some ideas on some further steps I can take. Mike (Michele) Gillotte Born 18 Dec 1877 in Italy Immigrated to US appox 1899 Married Rose Vallella appox 1898 Naturalization in 1907 Worked as a coalminer and lived in Morrisdale, Clearfield Co, PA Had children: Rose (1903); Teresa (1904); John (1905); Frank (1908); Sara (1913), Caroline (1915), Genevieve, aka “Janelle”, (1918), Virginia (1922) The whole family attended St Agnes Catholic Church in Morrisdale, PA, and that is where he is buried. The information on his immigration is sketchy at best, and I believe he got married to Rose in the US. I do have the 1930, 1920 and 1910 census, but cannot find anything for 1900. I have his death certificate. I have written to both Clearfield and Centre county looking for his marriage certificate and they can find no record. I tried writing to the PA State Archives to get a birth cert for Rose (daughter). I thought that since she was the first born, perhaps they were living in a different county back then, and her birth certificate may give me that. But, the State Archives will not send it to me. They require two forms of ID, and since I am military, my drivers license address and mailing/check address do not match. I have an ancestry.com account, but the local paper available online (Clearfield Progress) does not cover the year he died (for an obit) and I couldn’t find any other references to him in the paper. If anyone has any ideas on additional steps I could take, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
