Re: Perrone from Guardia Piemontese, Calabria
My great grandfather was Dominic Perrone from Guardia Piemontese, he had brothers that moved to South America (but no one has names) my grandmother was Rosa Perrone (Folino),her brother giuseppe perrone married my aunt concetta spaccorotelli, sister maria josepa perrone (primavera). My father Frank Folino, his brother augustine Folino.
My understanding is we originated in Torre Pellice, N Italy Prov of Piemonte. Our people moved south because we were protestant and the catholics were persecuting us if we didn't convert from our religious beliefs Valdese somewhere in the 1400 or 1500's. Our religion originated on the French Italian border. This is why we are so spread out, some went to S. America, N Carolina USA, Canada
