Welcome Covatta Families of the World


I have created this space for all Covattas throughout the world to come together to discuss our family history and see where we all fit in. My name is Connie Covatta (1956) and my brother is Len Covatta (1954) whom many of you may already know. Our parents immigrated to Canada from Frosolone, Isernia, Italy in the early 1950's. Their names were Donato (1902) and Antonietta(Paduano) Covatta (1921). Donato had a brother Egidio (1900) and a sister Lucia (1906). Their parents, my grandparents, were Leonardo (1875) and Concetta(Montalbo) Covatta (1880). Leonardo's siblings were Francesco (1877) and Feliceantonio (1884) and a sister Berenice (1888) who passed away at a young age. I will continue to add on to this history in future days and hope many of you will share your family histories as well so we can find our common ancestors and see how we are all related.
Most Covatta families I've found over the years and throughout the world seem to come from the same area of Molise so I think we are possibly all related at some point in the past. I would like to hope so.
Please feel free to add a post to help fill in the rest of the Covatta family tree.
