Surnames: Russo, Cipriano, Italiano Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ldB.2ACI/2543 Message Board Post: I'm looking for any information on my Great Grandparents Pietro (Pete/Peter) Russo and Mary (Marianini) Cipriano. Pietro was born about 1892 in Italy, I think in Caserta, and immigrated to the USA about 1912. As far as I know he had brothers named Moses, Samuel, Michael, Louis and a sister named Mary. He lived with his wife,Mary/Marianini and children in Farrell, PA. He also had a hereditary disease called Polisystic kidneys. He died at the age of 36 from this disease. He had four children, two of which also died from the disease. Mary/Marianini was born in 1897 in Caserta, Italy. She was the daughter of Andrew Cipriano and Assunda (Susie) Italiano. She immigrated to the US with her mom and sisters in 1915. I believe that her father died in Italy before they came to the US. They were raised on a farm in Caserta, Italy. Mary had 3 sisters, Anastasia, Andriana, and Adaline and two brothers Dominic and Charles. They were all born in Italy and lived in PA. I would apprecia! te any information that anyone has on the Russo, Cipriano or Italiano side of the family. To write me back you can post a message or email me direct at BJean80@AOL.com Thanks!
