Looking for Information - Seeking information from descendants of one Domenico DiRisio from Casalbordino, Abruzzi Italy. He most probably was born around 1874. He was married in Casalbordino around 1902 or 1903. When my father left Italy about 1910, Domenico had several children, with the oldest being about 6 or 7. Domenico and my grandfather (also named Domenico DiRisio) were first cousins and three years apart in age. I have several stories from my father about Domenico before he was married. Please email me at Albert DiRisio, Jr.

Looking for information -  Frank DiRissio, from Rhode Island, is wondering about the 1s versus 2s in the last names.

Half took 1 s and the others took 2. They never talked again. He came from A village called Rissio or Risio in Rocca Monfina. I know I have Relatives in New Jersey who spell the name with 1 s.
