I am searching for my adopted grandfather’s biological family. He was left on church/convent steps in Orsogna, Chieti, Abruzzi in 1882, was given the name Elio Camerario by the government, and was adopted by the Sacramone family in Orsogna. The
Sacramone family called him Joe Sacramone/Giuseppe Sacramone. He was born on November 15, 1882. He married Rosalinda Iacomini (daughter of Francescapaola Ceccarossi and Filippo Iacomini) in 1909 and moved to the United States via Ellis Island in 1913,
then lived in Everett, Massachusetts, USA. Rosalinda had three sisters, Esperanza (moved to Argentina), Maria Nicola (moved to New York) and Carmela (who moved to Canada). Esperanza and Maria Nicola married two brothers, Nicola and Michele D’Alleva.
Elio and Rosalinda had four children, Maria (Mary), Vincenzo (James), Alfredo (Alfred), and Louigi (Louis) Camerario. Also, he was married once before marrying my grandmother. Maria married Daniel Mastrocola. James married Rita (Bucci) Ciampa. Louis
married Beatrice Silva. Alfred married Mary Bastardi. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Please ask the elders in your extended family if they know anything. It is important for medical history, etc.
