Looking for a small town outside of Benevento
I'm trying to find information about a small town outside Benevento
called Castel duna. My grandfather Louis Iacovelli came from this town. I'd like to get a map with its location and find out some information about it. Can anyone help? If I visited this town, how would I get there? I can't seem to find any information about this town. |

om... I'm trying to find information about a small town outside Benevento called Castel duna. My grandfather Louis Iacovelli came from this town.

You might contact the town of Benevento by email, and ask for some help. Go to http://www.cittaspettacolo.it/ There are two Iacovelli listings in Benevento in the Italy phone directory on the Internet at http://www.infobel.com/italy/ You might write them for help. My Michelin map of Italy does not show the town. Good luck on your search. Joe in Texas |

I do not know if writing directly would be appropriate, but while you are at it you could use the complete Italian phone directory at http://www.paginebianche.it/index.html If you put the family name in the "Cognome" and BN in the city field (this meaning the *whole* Benevento province), you get an additional name. Also I would consider alternative spelling; I am almost sure that the original poster (or some of his relatives) made some spelling mistakes, as the Italian form is "Luigi", not "Louis". For example, could the name of the place be "Casalduni"? If you look at http://marie.bravepages.com/surpica.htm documenting a Brigida Iacovelli in Casalduni around 1830, it looks as a very possible hypotesis. -- Luca Logi - Firenze - Italy e-mail: Home page: http://www.angelfire.com/ar/archivarius (musicologia pratica) |

Thank you Lucca for the additional Italian white pages site, and how to use it. Should help me in other searches. And your hypothesis on alternate spellings of the town name and first name are "right on", I think. Joe Pessarra (looks possibly Italian, but East Prussian in 1600's) in Texas |

...

Sort of close. Just like the many Pessarra, Pesara, Pessara, Pesarra, Peshara, Pesharra listings in Germany, all related. And Portugal has a lot of Peshara, Pesharra families who came from Italy. So maybe in 1500's my ancestors came from Italy to East Prussia. Still working on that angle. Joe |
