[TI] Spagnolo

[Joseph Bova]

Thanks Ann,
My Godmother was Anna Spagnola - Frigerelli (bad spelling) She was my grandmothers niece (I believe) I knew my cousin Louis/Louie Spagnola (Anne's  brother) and another sister, all lived in Ambridge.  Louie moved to Beaver Falls and owned a bar before he died.  I have a first cousin in or around Ambridge I have never met.  Her name is Vera Bova, daughter of Tony Bova, my Uncle.
 
Back to Spagnola's I notice the name changed around the 1920's from Spagnolo, no idea when they immigrated.  I believe Joe that you fund is Joe Jr.  I think his father was also a Joe
 
Many many thanks
Joe

Joe, I found Joe Spagnola on the 1910 Census list for Beaver County in PA.
He is the only one listed for Beaver  named Joe.
I have names for Allegheny Co.  do you know which names I could look up.
