Hello
I have seen your posting on Rootschat website and wanted to write to you re the Bartolomei family (originally from Lucca, Italy and then Liverpool, England and then USA.
My name is Sue and I live in the UK and I am the great grand daughter of Pilade Bartolomei.
Pilade's brother was Giovanni, married to Filumena Guidugli.
They had several children, the oldest of whom was Peter born 1891 in Liverpool. He was married to Maude and they had 4 children, Orlando (died in infancy), Peter 1925, Joan 1918 and Maude.
Joan had Guy 1945, Wendy 1953, Ermine 1947 and Joan 1956. (This is a small part of the Bartolomei records that I now have since doing the family genealogy in 2000.
To cut a very long story short, I researched the Bartolomei family history and was successful in finding all the records plus the family village in Italy, which I have visited. I have also met up with the descendants of Pasquale (brother to Giovanni and Pilade) from Brazil. I travelled to USA a few years ago and met up with the USA branch of the Bartolomei family in Manasquan N.J. They are descended from Beatrice Bartolomei and Edward Byrne,. At that time I met Joyce Matern 1958 who is the daughter of Peter Bartolomei 1925 and grand daughter of Peter 1891 and Maude.
If you would like any further information on the records I have please let me know.
Kind regards
Sue (UK)
