Ottavia Maria Chelini (b. 1855 Segromigno, Capannori, Lucca) married Giuseppe Gennaro Di Marco (b. 1848 San Gennaro, Capannori, Lucca) on 10/26/1874 in Capannori. In Nov 1899 Ottavia and her children: Clarissa, Zaira, Olierto (maybe Guiermo), and Italo arrived in NY, destined for 301 (or 304) Division Street in Chicago. Per the ship manifest, husband/father Giuseppe was in Chicago. Later, the family name was changed to Bove (it appears as this in the 1920 census)and Giuseppe became Joseph. The census states the Giuseppe arrived in 1892 and was not a citizen. I am looking for relatives of either Ottavia or Giuseppe in the Lucca/Capannori area.

• Giuseppe DiMarco outside his Chicago Candy Store (387 KB)
  Giusppe DiMarco, store possibly on Division Street in Chicago. Later, Giuseppe DiMarco became Joseph Bove
• Ottavia Maria DiMarco (242 KB)
  Ottavia cannot be found in any Chicago area census.
