Hi Nancy,
thanks for your reply.This is very interesting to know that your Dad is cousin with Alex, the hockey player.You must then be related to Sandy who also replied to my genforum posting re:Alex Del Vecchio.Her Dad is also related to Alex.We are going to form a big tree here.I think we are related also but distant relatives.
Then your grandfather must be Tony or Anthony or Antonio Del Vecchio who was murdered in Spokane Dec. 1903.Please let me know if this info applies to you.If it is the case your ancestors must have come from the village of Ripabottoni, Campobasso, Italy.I would appreciate if you could send me your coordinates so we can compare notes.My tree is over 900 names.
As for the spelling of Del Vecchio, there is no one correct way of spelling it.When I worked in the records of Statistics of Ripabottoni, I would find the name under V for Vecchio and it would be spelled as Del Vecchio.
In America the spelling took different form. There's even some of our relatives in mytree that established themselves in Salt-Lake City area and dropped all together the Vecchio and got known as Dell.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Linda Del Vecchio Guest
