Well Laura,
I now have proof that your find of Nunzio Defeo immigrating 1902 is my Nunzio with father Antonio. thank you for your perseverance on this.

Thanks to a wonderful volunteer at rootsweb, he provided various excerpts from BC Archives.
Nunzio Defoe marriage to Govanina at age 23. He was born in San Stephano del Sole. His father was Antonio and mother was Josephine Pistagrela..tho translation of her name could be not exact.

Another record for his death said his mother was Sarah Pisacuta which is a little different than the marriage record.

The differences between Josephine Pistagrela and Sara Pisacuta needs to be addressed but I would assume that maybe Josephine was called Sara in Canada and the surname spellings are just a matter of interpretations or translations.

For his wife, Govinina (marriage record) Giovannina (her death record) said her father was Francesco Colacurcio and mother was Celesta Mastroberardino.

For death record of Celesta Colacurcio it says her father was Sabino Berardino and mothers surname was Callicano or Gallicano. No first name known.
So her surname is either Mastroberardino or Berardino. Are you familiar with these surnames?

So you can see I am gathering quite a bit of information. Thank you so much for all your help.

Very Happy
I was pretty sure the record was correct....
You were talking about Nunzio 1 (born on 1883) and Nunzio 2 (born on 1921)... don't know why you were so sure that the father of Nunzio 1 was another Nunzio Question

Well, I'm glad you found the right names and lastnames... Very Happy
I believe the correct lastname for Nunzio 1's mother could have been Pisacreta...
the town were you can find the biggest presence of this lastname is Santo Stefano del Sole...
You can use these sites to see how the lastnames are spreaded all over Italy:

www.gens.labo.net/

italia.indettaglio.it/...gnomi.html

from this last site these are the first five lastnames presence:

There are in Santo Stefano del Sole Surname
91.12 De Feo Exclamation
56.28 Pisacreta Exclamation
53.60 Romano
50.92 Fiore
32.16 Iallonardo

laura,
i don't know where my brain was but i am so glad you kept referring back to the immigration of 1902.

the two web sites you sent were great...especially the one in English. the one in Italian was too difficult for me as i do not know Italian. if my mother was here with me should would be able to read it.

thank you again for all!

Hello,

My name is Laura and Monsignor Nunzio Defoe was my Great Uncle. His sister Celesta Giolanda Defoe - Miles was my Grandmother. I just came across this site and saw your conversation. Very interesting. If I can be of any help with information please let me know.

Thank you...it could be possible that we are distant relatives?
