Alphabetical Ancestors - D


Take a moment to look over these surnames. I post them in hopes of discovering new contacts to expand my knowledge of these names. Some of these surnames are more twigs than branches on my tree. It is time to let them out to get some sunshine & some attention.
If you see some leaves & branches from your trees, let’s share & compare.



D is for these Surnames…

D’Ambrosio
The D’Ambrosio family came from Italy. They are in my husband’s family. Samuel D’Ambrosio married Sentina Palilla [b c 1901 in Sicily]. They had five children, born in Connecticut and New York State.
Davis
I connections to more than one Davis family. Archie Davis b 1914 & d 1971 married Rava Nell Ball, b 1923 in LA. Dirvin Davis married Anna Ritter, b 1889. They had five children. William L Davis [1838 – 1913] married Narcissa A Fortenberry [1848 SC – c 1909]. As far as I know these three Davis men are unrelated.
