Palmieri in Australia and the USA

From:    "Angela Giobbi" <jgiobbibigpond.com> Cc:    "Diana Archer" <nidranebigpond.com> Subject:    re palmieri family Date:    Tue, 15 Sep 2009 10:33:58 +1000 Hi Diana.  contact these people, they may go back to the will in our great great  grandfather, looks like a connection, leave it with you,    for Palmieri tree etc Angela

Angela and Diana, Hi, This is Mark DiVecchio. My father was from Sant'Eufemia a Maiella. I've got a bunch of relatives in Australia. Mark

I learned the story of four Palmieri siblings - three brothers, Camillo, Amato and Rocco, and one sister, Eufemia.

Amato and Rocco went to Australia. Rocco is Diana's grandfather and Amato is Angela's grandfather.

Camillo and Eufemia immigrated to the US. Diana and Angela are trying to find their descendants - their cousins in the US. All the photos you see here were sent to me by Angela and Diana, unless noted.

The parents of these four siblings who emigrated from Italy were Carmine Palmieri and Filomena Carapellotti.

Family of Eufemia Palmieri

• email from Diana Palmieri Archer, Sep 2009 - she emigrated to the US, married Pasquale Palmieri.
• email from Diana Palmieri Archer, Sep 2009: "From what I've been told she died young and it was due to negligence on the doctors part."
• 1905 Sep 9 EI arrival, 25y, going to husband - Pasquale Palmieri in Primero, CO. Traveled with many people from SEaM, some going to Rendham, PA, some to Joliet, IL.
• 1910 census, Sequndo, Las Animas, CO, 30y, married 6y, 2 children - 2 living. Two children: Rosa 2y and Annie 2m. Listed as Fannie. Lived next door to Jim and Angelina Palmieri and their 4 children.
• Utah Cemetery Inventory

• 1917 Utah Death Certificate, 38y 6m 23d, Hemorrhage caused by operation for removal of retained placenta, reported by Camillo Palmieri. When Eufemia died, the baby probably died. We don't see a death certificate for the baby in the Utah data, though.

• 1899 Jul 9 EI arrival, 22y, single, going to brother ?? Palmieri in New York City.
• 1905 referenced in EI arrival of wife Eufemia Palmieri.
• 1910 census, Sequndo, Las Animas, CO, 33y, listed as Charlie. Lived next door to Jim and Angelina Palmieri and their 4 children.
• 1920 census, Price, Carbon, UT, 44y, wife, Julia (54y) four children (Rose 12y, Anna 10y, Carmen 8y and John 5y). Probably 2nd marriage
• 1930 census, Price, Carbon, UT, 54y, widowed, three children. First married at 28y. Son John is listed but he died in Nov 1920.
• WWI Draft Registration, 42y, DOB 23 Jun 1876, Price, Carbon, UT, Farmer. Nearest relative listed as Rosy (daughter). Eufemia had died in 1917.
• Utah Cemetery Inventory

• 1955 Utah Death Certificate, 80y, Magna, Salt Lake, UT. Widowed. Wife Eva Palmieri Palmieri. The place of death was listed "In canal at ...". I wonder what that means. Reported by Carl Palmieri. Carl would be the son born in 1912. Probably the one known as Carlo. Almost seems like Pasquale was visiting Carl in Magna for about a week and died out working in the field. ???? His body was removed to Price, UT for burial.With the wife's name written as "Eva Palmieri Palmieri", I would guess that this is Eufemia Palmieri, his first wife and Carl's mother.
• email from Angela Giobbi, Jul 2010: "I found a note which my Auntie Julia gave me, I do not know if it is correct, --- He was born 1876 in Sant'Eufemia. Died in Salt Lake City 1955.  His father was known as Pietro Palmieri and mother Filomena Cerone."
• This web site also shows Pasquale's parents as Pietro Palmieri and Filomena Cerone : http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=taylor-gargaro&id=I02237 .

We are hoping that Jim Palmieri can fill in a lot of the unknowns about Eufemia and Pasquale.

Mary "Essie Jensen", born 1917, email from niece, Vicky Peterson, Oct 2009: Speaking from the death of Eufemia in 1917: "Since Essie was only a few weeks old at the time, Pasquale didn't feel able to properly care for her.  So he allowed her to be adopted to some people he knew.  Essie's given name was Mary.  She grew up in Mt. Pleasant, Utah and later moved to southern California.  She married Henry Bethel; they had 4 children:  Darlene (Leffler), Diana (Hayek) now deceased, John, and Denny.  Essie is still alive and has many grand and great-grand children. She lives in Hemet, California, near Palm Springs & Los Angeles."

Taken about 1945.

Hi Mark and Angela, Angela posted some paperwork, photo's etc today.  In amongst them was a photo of a "Frank Di Vecchio, Vince Gargaro, Tony Palmieri (Angela's cousin) , Roma and Mary (Vera Nardelli) kids".  I know that Vince is the man with the piano accordion, I assume Tony is the man with his arm around the child, which leaves Frank to be the one standing at left.  Thought you might be interested in that. Take care Cousins Diana

From:  Jim and Deena Palmieri To: Diana Archer Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 9:01 AM Subject: Letter from Austrailia Hi Diana, My wife, Deena, mentioned that you called a while back and left a message.   Sorry we weren't home, it would have been nice to talk to you again!  I'm pretty slow in responding, but that's just me and computers!  I wanted to tell you that my sister, Vickie, found the letter that we had saved from our Mom's stuff after she passed away, that had been sent from Austrailia to my Dad, Carl Palmieri, in January, 1962.  I had saved the letter because I thought maybe one day we might actually find out who our relatives in Austrailia were (and then you contacted us!).  I've attached a copy of the letter (and it's envelope) so you could view it.  It's from Amato Palmieri and he describes his family and mentions his brother, Camillo Palmieri, in California and gives his address.  I assume that is how my Dad found his uncle, Camillo Palmieri.  When we were young, our Dad took us on a trip out to the Los Angeles area and met Camillo at his home.  All I remember was his garden and the fig trees he had and eating some of the figs.  My Dad and our cousin, Dennis Bethel told us a story about Camillo Palmieri and why he had changed his name to Palmer.  (Dennis Bethel is our aunt Essie's son.  Essie was Pasquale and Eufemia's daughter that Pasquale gave up for adoption after she was born).  The story goes that when Camillo Palmieri was living in Price, Utah (that's where my Dad was raised and where Pasquale & Eufemia are buried), he had an affair with the mayor's wife.  Price, Utah was (and still is) known as 'Little Italy' due to all the Italians that settled there to work the underground coal mines.  The mayor was tied to the Italian Mafia in Chicago and he had to make several trips there to do business with the Mafia bosses.  Apparently, the mayor found out about the affair and was heading back to Price and Camillo found out he was coming, so he left everything he owned in Price (including his car, belongings,everything) and disappeared.  Somehow he ended up in California and changed his name and, we guess, was never found by the mayor.  We're not sure how correct this account is, but it's how it was told to us.  The attached letter talks alot about your relatives in Austrailia, so you probably understand it alot better than we do.  Hope you like reading it.  It was typed, but he added some handwritten stuff at the end.  Talk to you soon,   jim

Rocco's Family Wife Antonietta Piccolli and 5 of 6 children From:    "Diana Archer" <nidranebigpond.com> Subject:    Passport photo Date:    Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:51:03 +1100 Hi Mark, In the Passport photo you have (listed left to right) : Antionella Palmieri (Piccolli), Maria Crivelli (Palmieri) Adrian Palmieri, Gino Palmieri, Flavio Palmieri and Adolfo Palmieri.  They arrived in Australia on the 24th September, 1937 to meet Rocco Palmieri their husband and father.  Filomena Tattarelli (Palmieri) is not in this photo, she is on the passenger list but must have had her own photo.  More later. Diana

Diana wrote: My cousin Rocky Palmieri lived in Wandin Yallock.  He passed away from Bowel Cancer only in August last year, he was 52.  Rocky was with us when we visited the States to meet Mark and family he had tracked down for us.  I wish he was still alive as I'm sure he would know more and would have recognised the names.  I had a photo of all the 'paesane's' taken in Silvan which I have attached.  Before Rocky's death he spent a great deal of time trying to identify who the people in this photo were.  His wife tells me it was good therapy for him and he also told me he had identified most of  the group. It's a great photo it captures an era. If Diana can gather up the names, I will add them here. Click here for a index photo which numbers each of the 50 individuals in the photo. In August of 2020, I got this from Rob DiPietro (diPietrantonio) from Australia: I'm not sure if you already knew this, but in the big group photo in Silvan, Victoria, one of the men in that photo is Frank Di Vecchio. He's front centre, holding a jug of beer with a young boy in front of him. My grandfather Orlando remembered him and passed on the name to my Father. My grandfather and his brothers, as well as his father Filippo, are also in that photo. It's quite an amazing shot.

Family of Camillo Palmieri

• email from Diana Palmieri Archer, Sep 2009 - emigrated to the US.
• 1903 Apr 28 Boston arrival, 17y, going to cousin Vincenzo Palmieri in Rendham, PA. Traveled with Giovanni DiVecchia 33y and Giuseppe Zianni, 17y.
• 1907 Mar 12 Detroit arrival, 21y. Going to Detroit, MI. Traveled with Amato Palmieri. Arrival at Halifax 3-8-07 on SS Pomeranian.
• 1917 WWI Draft Registration, 30y, born 13 Jul 1886, single, Price, Carbon, UT,  born in SEaM. Supporting mother and father.
• email from Diana Palmieri Archer, Sep 2009: "We know that Camillo settled in Colorado, Utah. He was married twice and had one daughter 'Filomena' who lives/lived in Los Angeles. Apparently they were estranged and reunited after 38 years. 39 years ago Angela's brother stayed with Camillo in La Mesa, CA."
• email from Angelina Palmieri Giobbi, Sep 2009: "Camillo, the oldest, married an American woman,  she used to throw all the food, etc, out, so Camillo left his wife and daughter, then met up with this other lady, she still wrote to us until the old lady, Eldora, died, about 12 years ago. My brother stayed at La Mesa, CA, 2 nites when he was 21, with uncle Camillo, he is now 60.   Auntie Julia had contact with Eufemia and Camillo, but lost contact with Eufemia when she moved to Australia about 1969. That is all I can remember. Uncle Camillo's daughter was named Eufemia too. Uncle found his daughter after 38 years, but I do not know the date."
• 1920 census, Price, Carbon, UT, 31y, immigrated 1903.wife Eva 20y, born in UT, daughter Ruth born in UT abt 1919.
• 1920 referenced in EI arrival of brother, Rocco, and uncle Camillo Palmier. They were going to Trinidad, CO. This census sheet shows a Camillo Palmieri, 31y (born about 1889) along with wife Eva 20y, and daughter Ruth 2months. Eva was born in Utah.
• 1930 census, Los Angeles, CA with (second?) wife Olga. Camillo works as an elevator operator at an electric factory. Olga runs a boarding house.
• 1936 Nov 30 SSAN application, "Rocco E. Palmer", lives as 1549 W 8th Street, Los Angeles, CA. Born in SEaM on 13 Jul 1886. Father - Carmine, mother - Filomena Carapellotti.
• 1940 Los Angeles County Voter Registration: Camillo Palmieri 3526 N Broadway (now in Los Angeles, CA near South Pasadena, CA)
• 1950-52-54 Los Angeles County Voter Registration: Camillo Palmieri  565 W Figueroa Drive (now in Altadena, CA). Listed next to his name at the same address is a Mrs. Angelina Palmer.
• email from Jon Palmieri, Oct 2009: Regarding Camillo Palmieri Voter Registration records - "Those addresses show as in the Los Angeles area. When I saw him he was living in San Diego which is about 100-150 miles south near the Mexican border. That was in 1972. The dates you have are the 1950's he may have lived there then. Isn't there any organization in San Diego county that can find burial plots as I am sure thats where he is buried. Ellis Island in New York has the records of when they arrived in America and may have more info I know they went to Colorado when they first arrived and then lost track."
• 1962 referenced in letter from Amato Palmieri to his nephew, Carl in Utah. Camillo's address was given as 2080 18th Ave, Kingsburg, CA.
• 1970 visited by Jon Palmieri when Camillo lived in La Mesa, CA.
• We found his WWI Draft registration and that gave us a big hint about Camillo - he was born on 13 Jul 1886. I went back into the Social Security Death Index and searched for anyone born on that date who died in La Mesa.
• A hit in the Social Security Death Index:

• He also appears in the California Death Index, 1940-1997

• I went to the San Diego Recorder's office and I got a copy of the death certificate for Rocco E. Palmer who, now we agree, is most certainly Camillo Palmieri. He died in La Mesa and was cremated,  92y, 5 Jun 1977 at Grossmont Hospital of Arteriosclerosis, wife Angelina Salamone,  La Mesa CA, DOB 13 Jul 1884 (I believe this should be 1886), 10 years in San Diego County, 52 years in California. Cremated, Telophase Society - ashes scattered at sea.  Father - unknown, Mother - Filomena. Reported by Angelina Palmer.
• Camillo worked for Edison for 22y and retired at 65y, he went to work for them about 1927 shortly after he moved to California.
• email from Angela Giobbi, Oct 2009: "I just discovered from some old papers here, that Rocco was Camillo's second name."
• In the 1920 census from Price, UT, we found Camillo with (first?) wife, Eva (20 years, born about 1900), and daughter, Ruth (2 months). Diana and Angela thought that this was the family that he left in Utah. Well, I thought, they should be in the 1930 census from around there. So I tried another search on ancestry.com. I searched for a Ruth Palmieri born in 1919 in Utah. And viola'. A 1930 census sheet from Spring Canyon, Carbon County, UT. Eva had remarried to a Charles B. Murray. And there was Frances Ruth Palmieri (listed as step-daughter to Charles) 10 years old.
• Still struggling along, I searched for Eva Murray born about 1900. I found a 1980 California Death Index entry for a Eva Olsen Murray, born 8 Apr 1899 in Utah and died 21 Jun 1980 in La Mesa, CA. Might be her. I then found a 1900 census from Price, UT for an Eva Olsen, 1 year old, born Apr 1899, her father, Sven, was Danish but both parents were born in Utah. So could it be that when Camillo reconnected with his daughter "in California", they all ended up in San Diego? So its another trip for me to the County Recorders' Office to see if I can get a death certificate.
• Looking back at the 1920 census where Camillo, Eva and Ruth appear, I see Sven Olsen 59y living next door to the Palmieri's. Eva's father and mother and two of the sons match with the 1900 census. Eva's father's tombstone spells his name "Seren".
• I just got some help from another researcher who had a Charles Bailey Murray in her family tree data base. She did some searching and she is good (Thanks Sherida!).... She found an entry in the "Western States Marriage Index" kept by Brigham Young University at: http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/westernStates/Search.cfm. She found:
  
  Groom Last Name: PALMER
  Groom First Name: Camillo (30)
  Groom Residence: Price, Carbon, Utah
  Bride Last Name: OLSEN
  Bride First Name: Eva (19)
  Bride Residence: Price, Carbon, Utah
  Place: Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
  Date: 11 Jan 1919
  County of Record: Salt Lake
  State:  Utah
  Volume: 78
  Comment: Certificate # A031080
• Sherida found the 1910 census sheet for Swen and Emily Frances Olsen and daughter Eva, in Price UT. So we can see that Camillo's daughter, Frances Ruth, was probably named after her grandmother, Emily Frances Olsen.
• I got a little more help from Sherida this morning. Sherida found that Eva's second husband Charles B. Murray also died (31 Mar 1980) in San Diego County a few months before Eva died. This makes sense that the whole family - Eva, Charles and daughter Frances Ruth - all moved to California at some point. This is where Camillo connected back up with his daughter. I'll get a copy of his death certificate also.
  
  
  California Death Index, 1940-1997
  Name: Charles Bailey Murray
  Social Security #: 528032726
  Sex: MALE
  Birth Date: 22 May 1889
  Birthplace: Utah
  Death Date: 31 Mar 1980
  Death Place: San Diego
  Mother's Maiden Name: Bailey
  
  
  I also found his WWI Draft Registration document. (Sherida and I determined that this Charles Bailey Murray was not the same person as in her data base, they had different parents - but they were probably related somehow.)
• I got the death certificates for Charles Bailey Murray and his wife, Eva Olsen Murray. They are the people we figured. They both died in 1980. The new information is that both deaths were reported by their daughter who we found in the census as Frances Ruth. Her name was listed as Ruth P. Dingwall which appears to be her married name. The "P" may stand for Palmieri, her birth father's surname. I visted their gravesite today (about a 50 mile drive at El Camino Memorial Park in San Diego). Their daughter may still be alive (would be about 90 years old) and she still appears in the La Mesa, CA phone book.
• 
• In La Mesa, CA, Camillo, his daughter Ruth and his ex-wife Eva lived within 5 miles of each other.
• A search at http://www.whitepages.com turned up a Ruth P. Dingwell with a phone number in La Mesa, CA. I sent the phone number to my cousin in Australia:
• 
  

  Hi everyone, Ruth was home and she is Camillo's daughter!!!  She's is the most delightful lady and was very pleased that we had been looking for her.  He first husband's name was Dingwall but he died after they had been married 31 years.  Her second husband's name is Thomason.  She has 3 biological children and an adopted daughter. The best news is that she has an email address.  I was very impressed that a 90 year old, she turns 90 next month, can even use a computer.  She is looking forward to hearing from us.  She is not in touch with Eufemia and Pasquale's grandchildren in Utah but does remember that Carl was instrumental in finding her and she remembers meeting them. More when I have it. Great work Mark!!!!! Diana

From: Ruth Thomason  To: Diana Archer  Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 4:48 PM                 Dear Diana;                 Good news. Nan had a birthday party for Joyce today and she presented me with a disk of pictures from my 90th birthday party which you can put in your computer. There are several pictures of me, two when I was  little, a couple when I was around 30 (which I think look very Italian. There is one of me when I was 70. It does lack a present-day one, which I will come up with later. I will get this into the mail as soon as I can. These are not pictures of the party, but rather pictures she collected from me of me to display at the party.                 This whole thing of your finding me is very exciting.                 Much love,  Ruth

Thanks Mark for everything we didn't expect you to go to all the trouble you went to and really appreciated it!!!!!!!!  San Diego is a beautiful city. We caught up with Chet and Ruth for lunch on Saturday and Chet was saying that he was an entertainer who up until 1996 would do a show that involved hypnotisym. I had a telephone call from our local newspaper reporter who would like to do an article in our paper about the trip.  I thought that was a laugh!!!

Love to everyone Diana

Palmieri in Aliquippa, PA (Camillo #2)

This section will be under construction for a while.

Diana and Angela from Australia put me in touch with Rosemarie Andrews. Rosemarie's grandfather was Angelo Camillo Palmieri and was known as Camillo. He was born in 1875. I call him Camillo #2.

His family lived mostly in and around Aliquippa and McKees Rocks, PA (near Pittsburgh). Rosemarie's father is Diamante, one of Camillo's three sons. Since this family is also from Sant'Eufemia, I'm certain that they are related to the other Palmieri on this web page.

• Posting by Rosemarie Andrews  nyteardropyahoo.com: "My father and his parents are from Sant'Eufemia a Maiella. My grandfather was Angelo Camillo Palmieri and my grandmother was Lucia Palmieri Palmieri. There was an Uncle Giovanni who married an Anna Giaconde Marcucci, and an Uncle Angelo Pietro who married Irene Alberico, and an Aunt Anna Palmieri who married Nicola Piccirilli.  Some of their descendants migrated to the U.S. and to Australia and Argentina.  I am trying to locate information on Pietro Palmieri and family in Australia."
• email from Rosemarie Andrews, Oct 2009: "The only thing I know is that my grandfather, was in the U.S. and in Colorado, etc. and my grandmother was there too for awhile but she got pregnant again and she was sent back to Italy. She had 3 boys. My dad was born in 1908 and he was the "baby". I also know for sure that my grandmother did not want my dad to come to the US to stay, so my grandfather and people in the US bought her a house in town so she could move there and be near people and not all alone. The history is all so interesting. I wish I had asked more questions when my dad was alive."
• email from Rosemarie Palmieri Andrews, Oct 2009: "Dad and his brothers lived in McKees Rocks, PA, just near Alquippa."
• email from Rosemarie Palmieri Andrews, Oct 2009: "Uncle Pete and Dad evidently married once before while working in the midwest, Segundo, Colorado, to someone in Ohio or around there.  My mother lived in Pennsylvania and dad was working in the local coal mines there, where mom's dad worked also.  Dad never read or wrote much English and paid someone to write a note to Mom to ask her out.  Seems that guy couldn't write English either, lol..."
• email from Rosemarie Andrews, Oct 2009: "My dad lived in McKees Rocks, PA, some miles from Alquippa. He was born in Italy. He came over here when he was 12 yrs old to visit and in 1920 thereabouts when they brought him over to work, around age 16, and he never got to go back home. No money. I spell his name Diamante, as it is, everyone called him Diamond.  I have a brother by that name also."

In December of 2010, we received word that Rosemarie died.

Palmieri in Colorado (Camillo #3)

This will be under construction for a while.

In my searching for Camillo #1, I found another Camillo Palmieri that seemed to be connected. He was born abt 1879. I call him Camillo #3.

Palmieri in Utah

Date:    Thu, 5 Nov 2009 10:16:48 +1100 When I rang the Utah Palmieri's my first call was to a Fred Palmieri, his family originated from Naples.  His daughter Christine lives in Colorado and researches family history also.  He gave me her telephone number so I called her and she was a wealth of information about the history of the Palmieri name etc.  she firmly believes that all Palmieri's are related somewhere along the line.  Her family site is http://www.dunfee-family.com If you go to the gough-dunfee line there are Palmieri's listed there.  Her email address is cgcolohotmail.com I thought you might be interested. Thanks again for everything Cheers Diana
