| ANGELANTONIJ
Lelio Angelantoni langel1030@rogers.com My family has been traced in Tocco since 1505 and il palazzo Angelantonj where my father was born and lived is still standing in via Cavour. We left in 1960 for Canada. I sent a photo (top left) of our house in Tocco up to 1960. Our family crest is still there (top right), although the house now belongs to Tocco. The fresco (bottom) can be seen at the convent "S. Maria Del Paradiso," (L'Osservanza) and it was given by one of my ancestors to the convent around 1550. It shows Jesus going to limbo to resurrect Moses, Eve and the patriarch Giobbe. The family crest is on top of the fresco and the inscription says "Johannes Baptista De Angelantonio de Tocco." |

CONSOLE (later CONSOLINO) / DEL TIONE John M. Consolino, Palm Harbor, FL JMCONS@aol.com Many interesting facts from my cousin Steven Moore (above) which I did not know. It is my understanding that our Grandfather, Eustachio was known as CONSOLE (pronounced con'zol) while still in Tocco and after he came to the U.S., he changed his name to CONSOLINO while a railroad foreman in Indiana. He added the "ino" for one of two reasons - a final suffix was added to surnames to be more descriptive - "ino" meaning smaller, the men on the railroad were teasing him about his size. He always told us grandchildren that he needed a more important sounding name - all the important Italian immigrants had fancy last names. My Grandmother, Camille Del Tione, came to the U.S. in 1917 and the ships registry has her surname spelled as Del Tione (2 words), not Deltione. That is consistent with historical surnames recorder in Tocco. CONSOLINO / DELTIONE Stephen Moore swm55@hotmail.com My grandparents(on my mother's side) and their decendants were born in Tocco da Casauria! My Grandfather's name is Eustachio Consolino born on October 6, 1878, and my Grandmother's name is Camille Deltione born in 1885.
