John,
The chart looks correct.  
Unfortunately, we have no photos of ancestors before John Aimone and Della. 

Joseph Aimone was born 08 Sep 1857  Pont Canavese, Italy
Died 13 Oct 1915, Toluca, Marshall, Illinois
Married 21 July 1880  

Above is from letter from Scott Swanson.

Joseph's wife, Giovanna Marie (aka Anna/Johanna) Seren-Piocca
Birth: 2 Mar 1854  (from Scott)  FindAGrave and her headstone indicates she was born in 1850.  That probably came from the obits/death notices in the Henry Republican and DePue Leader.  
Death: 27 JAN 1936, Granville Putnam, IL  (Illinois, Deaths and Stillbirths Index, 1916-1947, which indicated birth as 1853.  I tend to trust Scott's research.)  She was living with daughter, Anna Piccinelli, at the time of her death. 


Do you use a genealogy chart app or just do your own?  I started early on with Family Tree Maker as there were genealogy classes in our community that explained use of that app. I, too, need to see charts to keep people and relationships straight and Family tree Maker has many chart options.

Best wishes for a happy Thanksgiving.

Notes for Giuseppe “Joseph” (Spouse 1)
ITALIAN IMMIGRANT ANCESTOR

Christopher,

We are 4th cousins, our great grandfathers our brothers.

My great grandfather, Giuseppe (Joseph) Aimone, 1857-1915 married Giovanna Maria Seren Piocca, 1854-1936

Your great grandfather, Giovanni (John) Aimone, June 24, 1854- 27 April 1899 married Lucy Cerrettp. 29 March 1850 – 7 May 1928. “John” Aimone was married to Lucia (Lucy). They were my great-great-grandparents.

My great-grandparents were Peter J. Aimone, Sr. (born in 1888 and died in 1969) and Mary (born in 1887 and died in 1963). One of their children—Peter J. Aimone, Jr. was my grandfather who ran Aimone Funeral Home in Toluca, IL until the early/mid-1990s when he retired and sold that business.

Their siblings are:

Maria Antonia, 1850 - ____

Tommaso Antonio, 1859 - ____ married Emilio Clara, 1863 - ____

Antonio/Anton, 1863-1946 married Marie Moignet, 1867-1919

The great grandfathers who lived in the northwest Italian mountain village of Turale, Alpette/CuorgneI I suspect traveled steerage from Le Havre, France in 1884 to the U.S. They settled first in Braidwood, Will County and moved to better coal fields in Toluca, Marshall County area.

Microfilmed Cuorne civil records have been obtained and translated by Scott Swanson [sswanson@butler.edu] who is a middle ages historian and genealogist. His mother is an Aimone that settled in Michigan. Scott has also checked and translated microfilmed Catholic church records in the Piedmont region.

Another Aimone genealogist is johnjohsnon@mac.com.

I spotted our relationship in the 1900 U.S. Census for Bennington Township, Marshall County, IL under the spelling of “Annon” (sometime spelled “Armone”)
