Profile Information
- YOUR ROSETAN ROOTS:
- I am looking for more information on my family. My grandfather Alfonso DiIorio came to Roseto, PA from Roseto Valfortore. His mother's maiden name was Giuditta Farace and she was also from Roseto and came to RosetoI went to visit Roseto PA a few years ago with my husband and two of the 5 children. We looked at the cemetary behind the church and found my great-grandparent's stones. There was another person buried there I did not
recognize. I said to my sister Diana today that we need to go to visit Roseto in Italy. My parents moved back to Italy 30 years ago to my maternal grandmother's home in Alatri, ( Frosinone). Last year my husband and I took my father to San
( Padre Pio's Shrine) . So we were not so far away...One second cousin Eugene DiIorio went to visit in Italy in 1971. DiIorio has been changed in some families. My first cousins spell it Diorio.

- Hi Rossana, my grandmother was Giuditta Diorio/DeLuca, she was born in Philadelphia in 1899. She died in 1999 and is buried in Roseta. I don't know much about her father's family. My grandmother often spoke of her first cousin, Fr. Diorio (as she spelled it) from Philadelphia. The same Fr. DiIorio you mentioned?

- Hi Rossana, I asked my mother about all the names you gave me but she doesn't recognize any of them. My mother would of only been a teenager in 1955 when your grandfather died. She also left Roseto and went to switzerland to work and then came to Toronto, Canada. Im sorry I couldn't been of help. I'm hoping to go to Roseto someday and trace back my family as far as I can.

- Welcome Rossana, I am glad that you found my website. There are many DiIorio and Farace cousins here so you should seek them out to find those new bridges to your ancestry. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Enjoy! - Phil
