The vital records for this family in CNMR show quite a variety of surnames including: Bella, DellaBella, ColaBella, LaBella, CollaBello. None of these surnames survive into the 1990 list of names found in CNMR. The term Bella/Bello in Italian refers to beauty - Bello for masculine nouns, Bella for feminine. The prefix "La" means "the". The prefix "Cola" means "with" or "by the". The prefix "Della" means "of the". In the records up to 1865, I observe a trend toward the LaBella surname, so I will use that as the "family" name - to tie searches together.
