Punturi or D'Antonia

[geneva24701]

I am researching my husband's family tree. Does anyone have any information on the above surnames? The last known residence is in Pecci, Italy. Gabriele Punturi came to Ellis Island in 1913. If anyone knows how I can find out more for my husband, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

That is exactly what I am looking for. You guys are awsome. Could you tell me how you found out this information and how I can see if there are any Punturi's in Italy?

You guys are great. My husband was thrilled.

Hello. It has been awhile. I am just checking to see if anyone has info on Julia Punturi. She passed away in Michigan. If you have any information on her I would certainly appreciate it. This would be my sons great grandmother. Her maiden name was d'antonia. Thanks again
