Looking for ancestors of grandmother Florence May Amadio in Italy?
I am travelling to Italy later this year and would like to know where my grandmother,s ancestors lived.Her name was Forence May Amadio and was the daughter of Antonio Fortunato Amadio who emigrated to New Zealand around 1879. He was a carriage maker and died at the young age of 43 I think. I have seen his headstone in the graveyard in Wellington.His wife moved to Feilding to be a dressmaker and Florence May, her youngest daughter met and married Frank Howie from Taihape. Their daughter was Joan Olive who married Kenneth McKay Small.

Hello maggiejoan,
Florence's father Antonio was from Castle Ashby, Northampton and her mother from Coventry, West Midland - they married in St. Martin`s Church, Birmingham, Warwckshire in 1866
Her paternal grandfather, Fortunato Giuseppe Luigi (Antonio) was from Rome, Italy as were his parents.
You can see a tree for them at Antonio FORTUNATO AMADIO 1847-1886, died aged 39
Also a journal posted here a couple of years ago:
GIUSEPPE AMADIO of Piedimonte d'Alife, Italy born 1705 in Piedimonte d'Alife by Piedemonte di Matese - 41km north of Caserta, Italy
