Hello, I am new to this list and I am looking for my grandmother's family Her name was Adelina Barlocchi born Oct 14, 1889 from Gordola Switzerland. Her father was Enrico Barlocchi. Adelina's mother died when she was young and her father remarried a lady named Teresa. My uncle stated that the family was from Locarno. I did a search and found that Locarno is 3 miles away. So could Gordola have been part of Locarno or Locarno part of Gordola; at the time the Barlocchi's were there. At 16 years old, Adelina left her homeland headed for the United States of America. Telling her father that if he sent her to the United States he would not see her again and he didn't. She was sent to care for a family members children. Her sister Clelia (Clara) Barlocchi followed in 1910. Clelia (Clara) Barlocchi was born 16 Oct 1895. A cousin went to the LDS family history center and found the following information below. We would like to know if the Baptismal record of Delphina is a sibling of Adelina Barlocchi daughter of Enrico Barlocchi. Can anyone help here or if this is Adelina Barlocchi's baptismal certificate. We have not located Clelia's baptismal certificate. The name listed is Delphina and the date is January 29, 1896. This child's father's name was Enrico (son of Carlo) and Marianna, daughter of Giuseppe. Godparents were Giuseppe filipelli and Maria Barlocchi. We do not know if the above Enrico is the father of Adelina and Clelia (Clara) Barlocchi but could be. Is this also the mother of Clelia and Adelina Barlocchi. We know that Adelina and Clelia (Clara) Barlocchi's father's name was Enrico Barlocchi. My grandmother told my mom and I that my father was named after her father. If I am to follow the naming pattern I would think that her mother's name was Estella. Her first two children a son and a daughter were named after my grandfather's parents. Any help appreciated. Thank you. Granddaughter of Adelina Barlocchi and Attilio Ivaldi of Oakland, California, USA Joy Ivalidi Durrett Medford, Oregon USA
