This is the oldest photo from my family album: my great-grandfather Francesco Antonio Marmo (from my mother side) and his family. He was born on June 29, 1839 in Casalbuono, Salerno Province, Italy. He immigrated to Brazil and married Rosa Maria Berardi Martino, Italian too. The couple had eleven children. My grandfather Felício Marmo is the boy at left, with the stick on his hand. He was born in Viamão, Rio Grande do Sul on August 1º, 1884, married my grandmother Rita Jorge Goulart and had three boys and one girl, my mother Antonietta.
Esta é a mais antiga foto de meu álbum de família: meu bisavô Francesco Antonio Marmo (do lado materno) e sua família. Ele nasceu em 29 de junho de 1839, in Casalbuono, Província de Salerno, Itália e imigrou para o Brasil casando-se com Antonia Berardi Martino, também italiana. O casal teve onze filhos. Meu avô Felício Marmo é o menino que está à esquerda, segurando uma vareta. Ele nasceu em Viamão, Rio Grande do Sul em 1º de agosto de 1884, casou-se com minha avó Rita Jorge Goulart e tiveram três filhos homens e uma menina, minha mãe Antonietta.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic picture! Do you still have family in Italy and have you ever visited the ancestral home/town? I know very little about my own family history mainly because I didn't pay any attention when my parents were telling me stories :(

Aren't you glad that someone was wise enough to hang on to this gem of a photo? There's lots of family history there.

ReplyDeleteSonia, We have a family portrait from my husband's family from the 1800's. I love seeing it - we have it hanging in our entrance.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have this photograph of your ancestors. I think it is so important to remember the past and share it with the future.
