Its All Devellano History
The webmaster’s research has shown that the family name has changed thru time as a result of many errors in government docs, including 1911 Canadian Census, and Ellis Island Ship Manifests. The origional marriage certificate of Mariano and Marianna was found thru the Termini Imerese Database and 2 birth certificates Salvator and Francesco.http://www.termini-imerese.org .We have located documented family geneaology back to 1824 birth of Maria Scalia, the mother of Francesco Bova-conti who was the father of Marianna Bovi-conti who married Mariano Pedivellano in Termini Imerese, Sicily. The family name was Pedivellano at that time.
My research has shown that the family shield was from Italian nobility enjoyed in Palermo, finding, among others, Antony who occupied the post of deputy warden of Castellammare of that city in 1441 and wore the toga senator in 1444-45. Weapon: red, coarse gold to the shoe, placed in band. The name was spelled Pedivillano back in 1441. An old aristocratic family of Palermo, the Mugnos Senator Antonio Pedivillano 1444, and a Philip capitand’arme extraordinary valley of Mazzara. Research back to 1317 shows the name was from a place called Pedivigliano,Italy Province of Cosenza, region Calabria.
In 1317 appears Pedivillano, the center is populated by neighborhoods that surrounded Scigliano and was named Villanova.
