Wingrove & Connected Families

The Bergamini Family

Alexander Geovanni Bergamini 8 JAN 1808 in Trieste, Italy
(Source: RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project George Scott Family)
and left for America sometime before 1840
as he appears in the 1840 Census of New Orleans.

     married Elizabeth Ransom Diackery (Dickery)
            likely in America
            She was born 25 January 1810 in Philadelphia PA.
    Children of this union were born in NY and LA (See 1850 Census).
    There must have been dual residences over the years between the 2 cities
    as the first 2 children were born in NY, but later children from either states .

    Alexander eventually worked as a Cabinet Maker & Merchant in New Orleans
