Christine (O'Connell) Donoghue (myself) is half Irish and halfItalian.The Italian family names I am researching are:
Berganti, Bertoli, Bertolli, Cappuccio, Carusi, Comporoni,
and Pisani.
The Irish family names are: Clark (Clarke), Hurley, and O'Connell.
There are more names to come: I just discovered a Clark printed
genealogy.
My husband's family names are: Donoghue, Dougherty, and Silva.
My biggest current problem is this: my husband's paternal
grandmother Claudia Silva Donoghue had a twin named Anna (Ana?).
They came to the US from the Faial Islands in the Azores Islands,
Portugal in 1905.Claudia lived with an aunt in Saugus, Mass.
Anna was sent to California.We don't know why.
We know she had married a man with the last name Mosquito,
lived in Oakland, and she is deceased.Her birthday would have
been Jul. 22,1898.I'd love to find out anything about her or
her remaining family.
Also, Berganti is such a rare name-if anyone knows anything
about the name, please contact me.
