We are seeking information on the CONTE Family, of Ponza, Italy (& WV, PA, MI).
The earliest Conte we've been able to trace is SILVIO BRUNO CONTE, SR., born on the island of Ponza on October 23, 1894.
After emigrating to the USA (between 1910-1912), he married Irish-born BERTHA NELSON (perhaps between 1918 and 1920), and had four children in the areas of Richwood and Huntington, West Virginia:
1) LUCILLE AMELIA CONTE (married name: ARMAN), b. 1920.
2) HAROLD CONTE, b. 1921.
3) JOSEPH BENJAMIN CONTE, b. 1923.
4) FRANCES CONTE (married name: Sullivan), b. 1925.
Bertha died between 1925 and 1927.
Sometime in the late 1920s, Silvio Sr. then married his 2nd wife, DULCIE A. (maiden name unknown), who was born on March 25, 1907 (in WV?). Together Silvio and Dulcie had 8 children (perhaps in or around the areas of Richwood, West Virginia and/or Ellsworth, Pennsylvania):
1) AMELIA CONTE, born in Richwood, WV, perhaps in the late 1920s (married name: RYBARCIYK).
2) MARY GILDA CONTE (married name: MILITELLO).
3) AUGUSTINO CONTE.
4) DAVID CONTE.
5) SILVIO CONTE JR.
6) EUGENE CONTE.
7) JAMES CONTE.
8) DANIEL CONTE.
In 1943, Silvio Sr. and Dulcie moved to the Detroit, Michigan area, where most of their children, now grown, are still living. On October 10, 1975, Silvio Sr. died in Detroit (of a heart attack). Dulcie died on August 28, 1989, in Warren, Michigan
If you have any information pertaining to the SILVIO BRUNO CONTE family, either here in the USA or in Italy (even if you're not related), please contact us. We would very much like to complete our family tree and connect with relatives.
Thank you,
Dr. D. MacTavish
