Margaret ...........

welcome back.


This is as far as any of the helpers went .............. no-one is related to your husband's family, and we stop searching records when we don't get any response as we don't know whether or not we are finding the correct people.

thanks for the private message Margaret, yes we regulars always check 'my threads' when we log in, to see whether any thread we have posted a message in has anything new ... and no matter how old the thread, it will show up :-)

we didn't go any further because you did not come back to the thread with any more info or questions that might be answered

the 1939 register that Rose has posted confirms the info you have, but there is nothing else available on line that anyone can find

did you ever in the last 2+ years get the marriage certificate of Giuseppe Salussoglia and Giovanna Nicolotti in 1907? to learn their fathers' names, if they stated them

that isn't something someone else will find for you, since it needs to be paid for

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/


For info, the GS who landed in New York in 1900 seems to have stayed there ... this is the birth of a child of his in 1908

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2WC8-R64

Name Angela Giuseppina Salossolia
Event Type Birth
Event Date 23 Feb 1908
Event Place Manhattan, New York, New York, United States
Gender Female
Father's Name Giuseppe Salossolia
Father's Birthplace Italy
Father's Age 32
Mother's Name Kosi Savio
Mother's Birthplace Italy
Mother's Age 30

so he is ruled out

Margaret

this is Giuseppe and Giovanna's marriage registration from www.freebmd.org.uk

Marriages Dec 1907 (>99%)

NICOLOTTI Giovanna Holborn 1b 1302
SALUSSOGLIA Giuseppe Holborn 1b 1302

You need this information to order their marriage certificate, if you do not already have it.

You order from GRO (General Register Office), and you will need the set of two numbers shown after Holborn (ie, 1b 1302)

The certificate will cost you £9.25, including post and handling, no matter where you live in the world.

Joonie gave you the GRO website address above, and I repeat it here ...............

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

You have to sign in tot he site, but it is free to do that.

Just fill in the names EXACTLY as shown in the freebmd registration.

this is a list from familysearch of Salus*lia births recorded in Torino (which seems to be the source of the surname, and covers Alice Costello I believe)

http://tinyurl.com/je5mmvs

there is one record at familysearch of a person with father Secondo (no Secondino), born c1893, married in 1921 in New York, mother Margherita.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24WK-5CV

from other records there, her husband Andrew Bovero was from Torino


I would look wherever you can for people who have the surname (variations) in their family tree because I expect most of them originate in the Torino region and there is a family relationship among most of them.


if you use google to search for

Salussoglia Torino

then google will offer you, for each search result, the option to 'translate this page'

there is a Salussoglia law firm in Torino (Turin), for example
this is a link to the English translation of that webpage

https://translate.google.ca/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://www.salussoglia.com/&prev=search

I searched also for

Salussoglia torino english

here is a facebook page for a young Salussolia who speaks colourful English (she has strong opinions so be forewarned) and who studied in Torino

https://www.facebook.com/sara.salussolia.9

maybe someone like that would be interested in helping you find family who might know about the family history

and aha, here is lawyer in the USA who is from Alice Costello!

http://pspalaw.com/staff/piero-salussolia-esq/

he has been knighted by the Italian Republic for his services to the Italian community :-)

He looks like the best source I see for making contact with people who might point you in the right direction for your research.
