Lopetrone Family Update

Antonio di Petrone was born in Figline, Italy in the 1500s and moved his family to San Giovanni in Fiore, Italy, where he grew and sold wheat.  Antonio had two sons and it is from these two sons the Lopetrone family developed.  

The early 1500s was a time when surnames were just becoming fashionable. Pasquale Lopetrone’s research of tax, birth, marriage and death records shows how the name was transformed from di Petrone to Lo Petrone and finally Lopetrone in the mid 1700s.    

Pasquale, a historical architect, has recreated the first 11 generations of the Lopetrone Family with the help of the records in San Giovanni in Fiore, Italy.  My branch, Domenico 1836 Branch, is the first branch to be completed with 17 generations.  There are a number of us who are researching our Lopetrone Family History and you can find some of us on Ancestry.com.

Several years ago, Pasquale Lopetrone set out to find all the Lopetrones in the World to reunite them.  After all, we all descend from Antonio di Petrone making us cousins.

Pasquale has also created a group on Facebook called:  Lopetrone in the World so that we can reconnect.  If you are a descendant of a Lopetrone, please join us on Facebook.

Antonio di Petrone nació en Figline, Italia, en el año 1500 y se trasladó su familia a San Giovanni in Fiore, Italia, donde creció y se vende trigo. Antonio tenía dos hijos y es a partir de estos dos hijos de la familia Lopetrone desarrollados.

Agli inizi del 1500 è stato un momento in cui cognomi erano solo diventando di moda. Pasquale Lopetrone ricerca di documenti fiscali, nascita, matrimonio e morte mostra come il nome è stato trasformato da Di Petrone a Lo Petrone e, infine, Lopetrone a metà 1700.

Carol Heppner - English Translation Several years ago, I started to research my Lopetrone family history and that’s when I met Pasquale Lopetrone online. He was trying to reunite the Universal Lopetrone Family. Through his research, he found that we are all related since the progenitor (forefather) of our family is Antonio di Petrone. He also found that over time, our name morphed into Lopetrone from di Petrone. The name, Lopetrone, is unique to San Giovanni in Fiore, Italy. Pasquale Lopetrone, Angela Maria Lopetrone, and I have been searching for our Lopetrone family and try to unite them on Facebook. It’s a fun way to get to know each other. Please join our Lopetrone in the World Group on Facebook.

También estimó que con el tiempo, en nuestro nombre morphed Lopetrone de di Petrone. El nombre, Lopetrone, es exclusiva de San Giovanni in Fiore, Italia. Pasquale Lopetrone, Maria Angela Lopetrone, y yo hemos estado buscando para nuestra Lopetrone familia y tratando de unir en Facebook. Es una forma divertida de aprender a conocerse mutuamente.

Pas. Lopetrone - Traduzione Italiana Vari anni fa, cominciai all'investigazione Lopetrone la mia storia familiare e mi collegai per internet con Pasquale Lopetrone, lui stava tentando di riunire la famiglia Universale dei Lopetrone. Attraverso la sua investigazione, trovò che tutti i Lopetrone discendono dallo stesso antenato che si chiama Antonio di Petrone di Figline. Poi Pasquale accertò anche che, col tempo, nel nostro nome Lopetrone deriva da Petrone, cui è stato aggiunto nel corso del 1600 il "LO". Pertanto Il nome, Lopetrone, è esclusivo di San Giovanni in Fiore, Italia. Pasquale Lopetrone, Maria Angela Lopetrone, ed io stiamo cercando di legare di più la nostra famiglia Lopetrone anche attraverso Facebook. È una forma divertente di imparare a conoscersi mutuamente.

It wanted to remember the most important figures of the Calabrian monachesimo: Gioacchino from Flower, San Francesco from Paola, San Nile, San Daniele, Beato Angelo d'Acri, Sant'Umile. The Show went through the most important town of our province and collected a considerable success.

Don Zeno

By Pasquale Lopetrone
.
If you go on the link underlined under you can see the biography that I have elaborated for Beppe Lopetrone, our cousin, our friend, and great photographer.

.

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beppe_Lopetrone

Beppe lived in Nomadelfia and is buried there.

In the past year, during the months when Beppe was near death, the RAI (Radio Italian Television) has made a movie on the history of Nomadelfia and its founder, a priest named Don Zeno. The scriptwriters of the film, "Mr. ZENO, The man Of NOMADELFIA", they have reconstructed the scenes of the fiction looking at the book of Joe Don ZENO 100 Years, that it is a very beautiful work, introduced by the greatest Italian journalists and by eminent religious personalities and politics. Tuesday and Wednesday, in two episodes, RAI, through the channels television Italian public, transmit the fiction "Mr. ZENO The man Of NOMADELFIA", a film that I recommend you to see, because Don Zeno is certainly the man that has animated a great revolution, showing to the world that can be been all brothers and all can be lived with few, but with great dignity if he is in peace with God.

These are links for more information on "Mr. ZENO, the man Of NOMADELFIA:"

Congrationlations

Annie Smith and Delta

BubbleShare: Share photos -

By Annie (Petrone) Smith

Delta and I placed first in 2 of the riding events we entered. Talk about a shock! When they called my name I about fell off the horse!

Delta and I won 2 blue ribbons, one in horsemanship, one in the pleasure class. Delta kept her head down like a pleasure horse and she did a pivot turn. Well, she NEVER keeps her head down and she has NEVER done a pivot turn!

I thought it was a joke when I won but I was told I rode prefect, but I still didn't believe it. I still cannot believe it. Someone was looking down on us because she was playing with the bit, but that kept her head down when none of the other horses kept their heads down and she doesn't normally either!

After all the attention, she was ready to have her saddle off and get out side.

Pizzeria & Pub
Posted By Katie Van Slack

Out-of-town flair has hit the small city of Sarnia thanks to the launch of Foo-Silly's Pizzeria & Pub.

The London Line restaurant was Overtime until Salvatore Sam Federico acquired it this past November. Federico is the grandson of Salvatore Lopetrone, the former owner of Riverside Pizza, and was previously the chef at Bonnie Doon Golf Course. This is where he thought of the name, as Foo-Silly is a pasta dish he used to prepare often.

It was an easy pasta, but a pain in the ass to make, he laughed. So we'd get silly late in the shift and shout out Foo-Silly!'

From Staff Reports:

Valley 20-21, Mount Hope 2-5

The Greyhound softball squad swept a twin-bill from the Mustangs Monday.

Valley plated eight runs in the first to cruise to the initial victory.

Valley pitcher Emily Donato limited the Mustangs to two hits while striking out five and walking one.

At the plate, Donato — with a homer and two RBIs — was among a handful of productive Greyhounds. Also, Brooke Belmont registered a triple and drove in three runs, Casey Nichols had three RBIs, Kara McGraw was 2-for-2 with a round-tripper and a pair of RBIs, Rachael Hamrick, Heather Tolley and Madison McDermott supplied two RBIs apiece, and Caitlin Elliott was 1-for-2.

Virginia Williams (two RBIs) and Courtney Worrell were both 1-for-2 for Mount Hope.

In the nightcap, VHS led 6-2 after three innings but erupted for 15 runs in the last two frames.

Crystal Jordan (3-for-5, double) and Megan Begley (2-for-4, double) drove in four runs each for the winners. Also, Elizabeth Beard was 2-for-5 with three RBIs, Keeley Abbott was 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs, and McDermott (2-for-4), Sabrina Lopetrone (2-for-5), Elliott (double) and Megan Willis each provided one RBI.

For Mount Hope, L. Laramee drove in two runs and Amanda Syner and A. Wingrove had one RBI each.

Elliott secured the mound win with relief help from Willis. Each pitcher struck out three Mustangs.

On the afternoon, Valley was aided by 18 Mount Hope errors.

Easter 2008

Easter Traditions by Cynthia Skupny-Titello

.

This Easter will be spent at home with my family, my daughters and my mother.

We always had a ham, sausage, and head cheese growing up in my Polish Russian house mix, but tradition on my mother Russian Orthodox side has deemed that this year only (maybe more after, we will see how it turns out) we will be trying a veal roast with the traditional Russian Paska Bread. While I was growing up, the Polish Traditions of Sausage, Potatoes and the like prevailed. I married an Italian so for Easter with his family, we ALWAYS have lasagna. This year, we are doing the Russian/ Austrian thing.

We are going all out to remind my mom of her roots from Austria… Veal Roast, Mashed Potatoes, Squash, Beans, Paska, Eggs, Caviar, etc. Mom Rosemary is 82 and has little to no memory of what she went through during the depression; this is a blessing, so we are going to remind her of better times while we still can before she loses all of her faculties.

My favorite Easter Candy is Peeps!!

If weather allows, we will do an Easter egg hunt outside, but we are in Michigan so…. Usually indoors

We must dye Easter eggs, due to the orthodox traditions in our extended family, it is necessary and most called for. Orthodox religions have extremely intricate designs to their eggs and there is a very special story attached to each egg, not only this, but the “sugar” eggs with the huge intricate designs inside are also a tradition. Mine are usually the simple no frills things that kids can easily do along with the fact that I am now a single mom and work full time so… the easier the better, but I really miss the very, very long hours spent doing the Russian eggs… there a few websites that sell these and if anyone gets a chance, this is worth a look simply for the artistry involved in these designs.

I personally am very happy to have shared so many family holidays with my Polish, Russian, Austrian, Italian, and all the rest melting pot family members who have been a grace, an inspiration and a driving force in who I am and what my family is.

My wish for our Lopetrone family is that everyone has a very special day, no matter how distant or how far away, that everyone finds by the grace of God what it is they are searching for and that one day, hopefully soon, everyone can come together as “one big family” because when you come right down to it, we all descend from a common person in Christ, … blood ties are not always the ties that bind. Sometimes, ties that bind are simply a great friend, a cousin or a cousin by marriage. Bless us all this season and for all seasons to come.

Easter Memories – Annie Smith

.
We will spend Easter at our house with my parents who just celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary.

My favorite Easter candy is Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs. Since my furry guys don't have thumbs to pick up the eggs, we forgo Easter egg hunts here.

As children, my cousin Carol Marchelitis-Heppner and I spent a great deal of time together. Coloring eggs with the Marchelitis gang, was the funniest thing you can imagine. I remember one year artist Carol drew on an egg for what seemed to be forever, it was perfect and one of her brothers [I'm not naming names] picked up the egg to look at it and squeezed a little hard and. . . crunch!!!! All that work gone. We had good times coloring eggs and had fun no matter what we did, walking down town and picking out Easter Cards with Carol is another of my favorite memories. When she looked at a greeting card that read, “Happy Easter, Happy Spring,” she knew it was the card to get her parents… because it was a 2 for 1 – two greeting for the price of one. We still wish each other “Happy Easter , Happy Spring!”

We’d like to wish all the Lopetrones in the World a Happy Bunny Day. Oh yeah and Happy Easter- Happy Spring!!!!!

Easter Blessing by Johnny and Barbara Lopetrone

.
Our family wishes that all the Lopetrone's will have a most wonderful and Blessed Easter. This is a most fantastic day in the Christian Faith and the feast we have to celebrate this wonderful day is one of the best for the year.

Our family here in Anchorage will attend Mass and we will have a wonderful time together on this wonderful day sharing a fantastic meal. We normally have a Ham dinner with what everyone likes the most. It seems that most of my family loves Chocolate the best and some eggs will be colored.

I wish that I could meet all the Lopetrone's in this world even though I know this is impossible. We have been Blessed with meeting and spending time with Pasquale and his family, and knowing you Carol. We wish all a very happy, Healthy, and wonderful Easter Sunday and all of God's Love and Blessings.
