Pietro Ferrante
On this post I need your help. This is a photo from the Herald's archive with the caption reading, Mr. & Mrs. Pietro Ferrante on Sept. 13, 1951 in Monterey. We all know that Pietro Ferrante was one of the pioneers in the commercial fishing industry in Monterey. He lived from 1867 to 1954. What I need to know is the name of his wife sitting next to him. Feel free to add your information to the comments section.
Sincerely,
Vern Fisher

A Google search turned up an old Herald article from 2000, by Victoria Manley. It identified his wife as Rose.

i am pietro ferrante's great grandson, and his wife's name was rose, and so was my grandmother's, who was the 5th daughter of 6 born to the couple.
DeleteWhat was Pietro's father's name?
DeleteOops, I posted too fast. I think that Rose was married to Paolo Cutino. Sorry to get your hopes up!
ReplyDeleteBut here's something someone posted on Ancestry.com, his obituary from Herald archives that identifies his wife as Rosa.
