DeMatteis Family Trees
Giuseppe De Matteis (b. ~1850)
We have a DeMatteis family tree begins which begins with Guiseppe De Matteis of Giulinova, Italy and includes descendants through six generations. We know the tree is incomplete, being largely focussed on those who lived or are living in the USA. Perhaps those now living in Italy can help to expand our tree. We would welcome that very much.
Filippo De Matteis (b. ~1850)
In addition, we have a family tree that begins with Filippo Giovanni (or Giovanni Filippo) De Matteis, also believed to be of Giulianova. Several children of this Filippo came to the USA, and some of them lived for a time in Dennison, Ohio. These folks used different spellings of their name, and most of their descendants now have the surname “Dematties” or “Dimatteo.” However, the spelling of the surname in early records and the geographical connection suggests Guiseppe and Filippo Giovanni may have had a common ancestor. Even if not, researching the two family trees together provides an interesting window into the history of people who came to the USA from the Abruzzo region of Italy from ~1880 to ~1950.
