I am looking for my paternal fami!y. My grandfather Francis Lenti followed his parents I know by Nibli (Hannibal??) and Made me a Lenti. Settled in Corona NY. Grandpa had a younger brother Dante. I don’t really know much else.
I am looking information about my great great grandparents in Fubine: Antonio Balestrero and Carolina Garlasco. My great grandfather immigrated to Brotas-São Paulo-Brazil around 1898. He and 2 other brothers raised their family there. I am trying to improve on my tree but unsuccessfully. I went to Fubine last August but didn’t have time enough for a research.
Working on my wife’s family ancestry. Her dad was Camillo Buscaglia born 11/20/1921 in Manchester CT. His dad was Edward Buscaglia born 9/13/1899 in Fubine Italy & married Clara Perrachio. Hos dad was Camillo Carlo Buscaglia born 8/30/1867 In Fubine & married to we think Teodoro Quartero. We believe his dad was Carlo Buscaglia born around 1818 in Fubine. Looking for more info for these indivuduals and if there are releatives still in Fubine.
I’m trying to find more information on my grandmother’s side of the family. My grandmother was born in Fubine on April 24, 1890. Her name was Maria Christina Sala. If I could find out any information on her and her parents it would be deeply appreciated.
Maria Christina
Fubine church baptism records show her birth as 7:30pm on 24 April 1889 (vice 1890) with parents Frederico Cristofaro Sala (son of Crescenticio Sala) and Maria Maddalena Dardana (daughter of Agostino Dardano) with her name spelled Maria Cristina (no ‘h’).

Would like Information about family Lineage my name Leonardo Peracchio, mother Rosina Capra Peracchio, father Mose Peracchio, Grand parents (mother side) Maria and Luigi Capra, gather;s side Francesco and Giuseppina Peracchio…..That is all I know far having left Italy in 1952
Mosé Peracchio was born 05 March 1909 in Fubine with parents Francesco Peracchio and Giuseppa Teresa Carlotta Accomazzo and married Rosina Capra (born Rosa) on 17 Nov 1934 in Fubine … she was born on 20 May 1909 in Fubine to parents Luigi Antonio Capra (son of Giuseppe) and Maria Francesca Barbero (daughter of Cristofaro Barbero and Catterina Rosa Mairo).
If my research is correct, your father Mosé immigrated to the US in 1948 onboard the SS Vulcania after your mother’s death ~1946 and settled in New York, working the Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. 2nd wife was Serina Lenti whom he married in 1948 and possibly a 3rd wife Mary Sconyers he married in 1861? Eventually moved to Cincinnati around the turn of the century and passed away in 2007 … but you already knew that.
BTW – If you flew TWA in December 1952 to New York, then I’m your 2nd cousin 1x removed (your grandmother Maria Francesca Barbero was my great-grandfather Gioanni Battista Luigi Barbero’s sister) … I’m from the Manchester/Glastonbury, Connecticut side of the Barbero family and have the Accornero, Braghero, Brezzo, Gotta, Raimondo, Scagliotti, Darna/Dardana and Zaglio lines.
It’s been 3 years since you posted so I’m hoping this makes it to you. All the best, Doug
Hi Doug,
Mose married Savina Lenti, not Serina. I met Mose as a little girl. My understanding is that he was the head bartender at the Plaza Hotel and was a very important man. I am part of the Lenti Family.
I am doing geneology research on my grandfather’s (Giovanni Pertusati, 1890-1982) Fubine family lineage. I have a family tree that is 4 generations big with extensive information but I have missing pieces to fill in. I have been unable to find online records for:
Giovanni Pertusati (April 22,1852-January 3,1920)
Andrea Pertusati (1811-November 24,1878)
Domenico Pertusati (dates unknown)
I am looking to confirm birth, death, and marriage dates and spouses names as well as children born to these marriages. Also looking for a generation or two beyond Domenico Pertusati’s
My great grandfather Puerto Volpi married Carlotta Ferrando of Fubine in the 1890’s. Their children were Marcello and Giuseppe Volpi both born in Fubine. Giuseppe born Oct. 20,1900 was my nonno. I am trying to go back to prior generations and would appreciate any help.
Hello – we are searching for any relatives or people with knowledge of a Michael Longo
(Michele Longo?). We think he may have been born in Fubine, as we discovered old photos marked Fubine, Italy, 1923. We think he was born in 1895-1899. We have two photos, one of an old woman and another of a house. Michael may have moved to Calabria as an adult and he ended up being a chef on the boats going to and from Ellis Island.
Thank you very much for any information you may have.

I am looking for information regarding my great-grandfather’s family in Fubine, Italy. Their surname was Stella. My great-grandfather’s name was Francisco and, I think, there was another brother name Louis but I am not sure about that. They had property there in the late 1800’s.
My paternal family originates from Fubine, Italy. I have much info about my dad Aldo Pertusati as well as my paternal grandparents Giovanni Pertusati and Teresa LaVanda Pertusati as they were alive in the U.S. where they immigrated to while I was growing up. I know my paternal great grand parents name Giovanni and Isabella Pertusati but do not know dates of birth, marriage, death or any thing else. My dad recently passed away and I am trying to find out info about my great grandparents as well as any other info about the Pertusati family in Fubine. My family has a mausoleum in Fubine where all my family is buried with the exception of my Dad Aldo. If you could help with providing any info on the Pertusati family I would be grateful.
