Ancestors in Galdo or Pollica Italy

Jestin J Sadler

We have traced some of our family history back to Galdo when our ancestors left for America in the 1920s.

2 brothers:

Giovanni Mazziotti Male 29 August 1892 (Galdo)– 17 March 1978 GVKW-SJ7

Constantino Mazziotti Male 18 September 1894 (Galdo)– 30 August 1974 GVVR-Q3J

And the father's name was Raffaele Mazziotti

If anyone can give any useful information it would be much appreciated. This is my first time using the group resources, thank you!

Galdo is a frazione of Pollica so its records post-1865 are found with Pollica.

Here is Costantino's birth record (#52): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-899X-C7XC?i=279&wc=M6K6-927%3A246612201%2C246715401&cc=1947713

His mother is Ine Aylar.

Not finding a birth record for Giovanni. The profile you listed in FamilySearch says he was born in Argentina, as does his 1921 US immigration record (line 13 - says born in Montevideo Argentina): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C95R-X983-Y?i=187&cc=1368704

Minerchina was born 28 Sep 1897 (#73): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L99X-C72R?i=27&wc=M6K6-W3X%3A246612201%2C246722601&cc=1947713

Veronica was born 27 Feb 1900 (#15): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G99X-CWMD?i=129&wc=M6K6-W3X%3A246612201%2C246722601&cc=1947713

Thank you so much! This is a ton of information!

Giovanni has been a tough one, all the other children were born in Italy but he has both Argentina and Uruguay listed as birth locations on different documents, and he used at least 3 variations of his name :(

Grazie mille!
