THIS INFORMATION has been copied directly from information given via Billy and his sister Andrea via Irene Demarco. We will dedicate this page to IRENE DEMARCO . This is a brilliant piece of research which takes the family back to Italy 1700 and beyond.
This is an outline of the information given over from Irene Demarco about the line back to Bartolomeo in 1650.This is my own version of the tree from Andrea Demarco back. I have him with different parents but perhaps lost in translation somewhere along the line

Thank you to Maja, and her relatives for providing the earlier generation information, found in archives and on graves in Italy.
There are 2 De Marco/ Demarco lines in this family
They are unrelated except by marriage and then their subsequent children
The spelling of De Marco, was most likely changed for immigration purposes
The 2nd line of Demarco comes in where Aunt Norma’s parents were both Demarco.
And I believe Aunt Maggie may have married a Demarco as well?
The cousins of this 2nd Demarco line are:
Related to Tommy De Marco, Aunt Norma’s father, who was married to Mary (Maria Demarco)-of the 1stline
Tommy Demarco’s sister Christina and her husband Gabriele De Marco had Malmaison De Marco on the Portobello Pier in the 1930’s
They had a younger brother Carmine.
Gabriele was an uncle of both sides of the Demarco line
Another Joseph DeMarco (who died 23/7/2010 ) and his brother Andrew Demarco Andrew’s daughter name is
ANDREW DEMARCO McKIRDY As recorded by Billy McKirdy – My father Andrew McKirdy was born on the 11th March 1919 and died on the 17th June 1980. In this photograph, taken near the beginning of World War 2, he is in the uniform of the Royal Navy. and the name of his ship is on his hat, HMS Ajax, which was involved in the hunt for the German pocket battleship the SS Graf Spree, this culminated in the battle of the River Plate and the scuttling of the Graf Spree in the harbour at Montevideo, Uruguay. My father served the duration of WW2 in the Royal Navy and amongst the other ships he served was HMS Imdominatable.

Firstly, thanks for correcting the entry I pointed out and sorry it took too long to reply.
A random question for you but I still think it’s relevant.
I’ve started a new job and the mechanic I work with is called Gino Di Ponio, he happened to mention his family roots in Picinisco and I was wondering if you have any info or connections with the Di Ponio family.
I showed him this site and he thinks it’s amazing,
