Hi,
I am searching for my husbands grandmother and grandfather from Oliveto Citra. They immigated to USA and lived in New Jersey
Her name was Giuseppina Vece born abt 1865 immigrated in 1902 and he was Alfonso Bergamo abt 1865-1876

Guiseppina mothers name was Fiorentino, she had 3 children, Gaetano, Giuseppina(abt 1885) and Elmelinda.

Fiorentino married an Alfonso Bergamo, but this is not the grandfather of my husband. There is another Alfonso Bergamo that married Giuseppina in USA, definitely related to Fiorentino's Alfonso Bergamo, but don't know how related.
My husbands grandfather had possible brothers or uncles Emidio and Cav.Fiorentino Bergamo they all lived together in Newark, New Jersey
I hope I did not confuse information.
Thank you for any help you can find.
Jackie

Hi Jackie,
I think there's something to make clearer...
However, I found this Ellis Island manifest for
Fiorentina Vece, travelling with daughters Giuseppa and Ermelinda in 1899 and going to join son Gaetano Bergamo in NY; this would put Giuseppina's birth in about 1884, as she's stated to be 15.
It is here:

I also found a census of 1920 for Alfonso Bergamo and wife Josephine.
Can you check if this is the right family?

If these are the right people, I'd say Giuseppina's maiden name was Bergamo (unless she and Gaetano had different fathers).
Vece was her mother's surname, and (maybe) both her father and her husband were Alfonso Bergamo.

...and this is Gaetano's Ellis Island manifest for his travel in 1898:

He was going to join uncle Fiorentino Bergamo in NY
