Ubaldo Sorrentino and Maria Luisa Piromallo My Paternal Grandparents.

Ubaldo Sorrentino and Maria Luisa Piromallo

Unfortunately I have not been able to find any birth or marriage records on the Antenati so far.  I am hoping that as more records are added for Naples, that they may still pop up.  There are two stories on how they met.  According to my grandfather, who was in the seminary studying to be a priest, my grandmother would come by and flirt with him.  Another story, more likely, is that my grandmother’s carriage broke down near the seminary.  My grand father stopped to help and they gave him a ride.  Apparently, my grandmother’s family was not very happy, based on the difference in social status.  I do not have the record on when my grandfather came, but my grandmother came with her three children at that time in 1915.  They all lived in the same building in NYC where her aunt lived. Ubaldo and his Riccardo had a bridal crown business from the 1920’s through the 1950’s.
