The Napolitano Families

Please keep in mind that I am still researching the records of Montalto Uffugo so the information contained here is incomplete. But at this stage of my studies of the Napolitano families of Montalto Uffugo, it appears there were a number of different unrelated branches of Napolitano's. Some came from San Benedetto Ullano. Others appear to have their roots in the town at least well into the 1700's. Before I can speculate about the differant branches and their relation or lack of relation to each other I need to go back further in the records. Currently, I have completed viewing records of Napolitano's back through 1852. The only information I have past 1910 is a few death records of Napolitano's who died in World War I, the Napolitano's who immigrated to Chicago and a few who ended up in Argentina. I have been so busy obtaining records and working on this website that I stll have not figured all the connections out yet. Prior to the 1900's there were many people in the town that bore the Napolitano surname. Both my great grandparents were Napolitano's. In the 1870's the differant branches began marrying into each other.

If you are a Napolitano who descends from or lives in Montalto Uffugo, please Contact Us.

My Observations

From what I can tell now, the majority of Napolitano descendants no longer live in Montalto Uffugo. There are still some there but in the 1880's there were hundreds. I have been told there are only 3 left in the Parantoro section where my grandfather was born. I can only learn more if Napolitano descendants of Montalto Uffugo contact me.

Although there are several branches I cannot connect to anyone yet, it is clear that most of the Napolitano's were related back to the 1700's either by blood or marriage. In the late 1800's many disappear from the records. Some moved to San Fili. A Napolitano from Montalto Uffugo owned a grocery store in San Fili. Who exactly that was, I do not know yet. Some left for other nearby towns while others left the country. It appears that some of the family had ties to San Benedetto Ullano too. I will begin with my family. From what I can tell at this point, there were at least 3 distinctively different Napolitano Families.

My Napolitano Families

My grandfather, Giuseppe Napolitano was born in the Parantoro section of Montalto Uffugo on Novemer 11, 1892. His father was Domenico Enrico Napolitano who went by his middle name Enrico. His mother was Angelina Napolitano who everyone called Angela. The 20 year old Enrico married the 18 year old Angela in 1889. The records of the town reveal that they only had 3 children in their 6 year marriage. In 1895 Enrico died at the age of 26. My grandfather was the only child of their union who survived to adulthood. Read more about my grandfather here. Because both my grandfather's parents were Napolitano's I will have detail them on other pages. You will eventually see them all from my grandafather's page here. Domenico Enrico was the son of Filippo Napolitano and Angela was the daughter of Costantino Napolitano. Our family owned farms were millers and winemakers.
