[TI] Spagnolo

[Joseph Bova]

Hi Sheryl,
I have no idea, my grandmother Anna Spagnola Bova was from Ambridge PA.  Her father was Joe or Guiseppe Spagnolo who was in the produce business.  All I know is that she died when her children were very young which would have been in the 1920's.  I would estimate she was born in hte 1890's or so.  I don't know if she was born here (Ambridge) or in Termini.  All I have are copies of news[paper clippings about the family business in 1914 and an article about Joe Sr and Joe Jr in the 1930's.  I remember visiting my Spagnola family in the 1950's but little else.

Hi Joe,

Does your Anna Spagnola Bova have any relationship to
a Maria Spagnolo married to Francesco Longo?  Their
son, Filippo Longo b. Sep 17 1842 married my Gr Grand
Aunt, Grazia Angela Bova b. Jan 29, 1840.  Grazia's
parents, my GG Grandparents are Vincenzo Bova and
Marina Corso.
