CALIENDO, GAUDIOSI, GAUDIOUS, RUSSAMANO posted by Sharon Lytle on Monday, February 14, 2000

I am beginning research on my mother's family and having very little to go on, I was hoping someone out there might be able to give me some clues as to where to look. I know my grandfather, Carmen GAUDIOUS, was born in Jeannette, Westmoreland Co, PA sometime around 1902. He was one of 12 children born to Sabbath GAUDIOUS and Marion RUSSAMANO. Sabbath's parents were Loueggi and Angela Rose GAUDIOUS. According to family history Loueggi and Angela has 24 children, many of whom I believe may have grown up near Jeannette. The GAUDIOUS surname may have been changed from GAUDIOSI upon coming to America.
With much information lacking in names and dates I was thinking maybe school rosters or church records would be a place to start. Would anyone know the names of any schools in existance in Jeannette around 1900, or perhaps even the name of any catholic churches in the area. Any ideas on where to look would be greatly appreciated.

PA., the patent is dated May 10, 1826. I am having a difficult time locating any information about Sophia (father's name, etc.) What should I do next?.
