My great-great grandfather was Raffaele Boccarossa - he was born 26th December 1883 in Picinisco. I was wondering if I could find out his parents' names? I know his wife was Almerinda Frattaroli, but unsure exactly when they married.

Really cheeky of me to ask, and perfectly OK if not, but are you able to tell me anything about Almerinda's parents? I know she had a brother Enrico b. 1888 and a sister Michelina b. 1890

Almerinda was born on May 21, 1879 in Picinisco and died in Leicester in November 1941. Her parents are: Filippo Achille Carmelo FRATTAROLI born in Rome on January 26, 1854 and Chiara APRUZZESE born on December 30, 1852 in Settefrati.
With Achille, she had the following children:
Enrico born in Picinisco on May 25, 1877 and died in Picinisco on October 14, 1877.
Almerinda born in Picinisco on May 21, 1879
Maria Fiorina born in Picinisco on September 6, 1883
Enrico born in Picinisco on July 21, 1888
Maria Michela Lucia born in Picinisco on February 25, 1890

I found the family tree you posted on the internet. You should review the information because there are errors. You have confused 2 families.

Thank you so much.

Is this the tree on Ancestry? I know I had mixed up with a different Boccarossa family who also came over to England (perhaps cousins of Raffaele's rather than siblings?) but I thought I had managed to correct it.

It was on Geneanet.org

You could tell me the connection between the Boccarossa family and the Morelli family.

Oh I had forgotten about that one! I will update it now.

My grandmother (Raffaele's granddaughter) married my grandfather Eustachio Morelli from Tocco da Casauria. They met in England and I don't think he had links to Picinisco.

Do you know if Raffaele had any siblings?
