I am looking for citizens of Ateleta related to Emilio LeDonne and Josephine Buccigrossi LeDonne , both born in 1895. They emigrated to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania around 1921. Emilio had a brother who emigrated to Brazil but was never heard from again. My father was Anthony. His siblings were Gina (died in childhood), Peter and Herman. A cousin Giuseppe LeDonne visited Pittsburgh in the late 60’s or early 70’s. He would be in his late 60’s at this time. I plan to visit Ateleta in mid April. I hope to meet up with relatives then. Thank you.
Hi Karen,
one of our relatives works at the museum. He is a cousin. good luck.
Hello Karen,
My mother’s mother was a LeDonne from Ateleta. My great-grandparents were Francesco (died 1929) and Francesca (died 1955) LeDonne. It’s a tiny village, so we must be related somehow. Please contact me at [email protected] or 312-771-8528.
Thanks,

Hello, I am search for parents of Antonia/ Antoniette Le Donne, Born; Ateleta June 4, 1873 Died; Pennsylvania Feb.24, 1948) Her husband was Giuseppe Joseph D’Ascenzo (1869-1945) A statement on her grave page lists father as Giachino Le Donne and Mother as Luisa Marina of Ateleta. Also listed is her brother Emiddio Le Donne. She is my GG Grandmother and I would very much like to find the family line in Abrusso. Thank you
Hi, Erin,
Antonia LeDonne is my wife’s great-great grandmother, as well. I was able to locate her death certificate which shows her parents as Giachino LeDonne and Luisa Marina, just as you have indicated. If you have any luck, please let me know. Likewise, I’ll let you know if I have any luck in my search!
Thanks,
Jason Brinker
I am looking for relatives of Albino Buccigrossi born in Ateleta, Italy in 1887 and arriving in NY in 1897 at the age of 10. The family eventually relocated to Pittsburgh. PA. I am his grandson.
Here is the 1860 Ateleta marriage record for Gioacchino Le Donne and Luisa Marino. It notes their parents, ages, etc. If you work through the available records, you can find several more generations using this same source. http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it/v/Archivio+di+Stato+di+LAquila/Stato+civile+della+restaurazione/Ateleta/Matrimoni/1860/595/004956174_00429.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=0
I do not specifically know if this couple are the parents of your Antonia and Emiddio, but it seems very likely. My wife is related to both of them, so you are all likely fourth or fifth cousins somehow.

Bonjour,
Je cherche des informations sur mes arrière-grands-pères, Pasquale Mannella et Severino Mannella. D’abord, mon arrière-grand-père maternel, Pasquale Mannella, est né aux environs de 1871 et s’est marié avec Scolastica Mannella, morte à Ateleta à l’âge de 51 ans en 1920. Pasquale et Scolastica ont eu une fille, Angela Mannella. Pasquale est décédé jeune et Scolastica s’est remariée avec Severino Mannella; ensemble, ils ont eu 4 enfants, Gioacchino, Laura, Ambrosina et Irena. Or, Severino Mannella est mon arrière-grand-père paternel. Il est né le 1er septembre 1860 et s’est marié en premières noces avec Laura Mannella (je ne sais rien d’elle); ils ont eu deux enfants, Oriento Antonio (mon grand-père, né le 11 novembre 1889 et mort le 1er février 1945 à Montréal) et Maria. Laura serait décédée à l’âge de 28 ans (alors que sa fille Maria avait 4 ans?) et Severino se serait marié en secondes noces avec Scolastica Mannella (mon arrière-grand-mère maternelle) ! Son fils Oriente s’est marié avec Angela, fille de Scolastica et de Pasquale Mannella et ensemble ils ont émigré au Canada via Ellis Island (en 1902 (Oriente) et 1911 (Angela)). J’aimerais connaître la lignée de Laura, mon arrière-grand-mère paternelle (sa naissance son mariage avec Severino et son décès), avoir des infos sur Scolastica (naissance et mariage avec Pasquale et avec Severino), Pasquale (naissance, mariage et décès et avoir des infos sur Gioacchino et Irena. Merci !
Hello
I am trying to find records of my great-grandparents.
My grandfather, Giuseppe Lucente came from Ateleta and moved to Pittsburgh when he was around 27.
He married Cleonice La Donne, also from Ateleta. She moved to Pittsburgh with her parents when she was 7 or 8 and had a younger brother Fred. I think he parents were Domenico and Carmella Le Donne.
Any suggestions?
I love that there is a website for this 🙂
