Brother-in-law John Carsella 22, abt 1898 IT
- immig 1908
possible 1906 arrival for Antonia Volpe and her mother Caranella Carosano?? (sure mispelled), coming from Faeto (same town of Pietro and Prospero Carosiello) going to Drummond PA to join their father/husband Michele Volpi....
Wow! You folks are incredible with the searching. With the lack of family informtion, it does seem possible that these last records could be correct (in ref. to my family) It is possible that no one knew that (a possible) Great Grandfather brought my grandfather here. (Then possibly left)
seem to match information from the WWI card found earlier, just the names appear reversed. Too much of a coincidence I think to be anything but my family. Now I'll see if I cant find marriage records for either.
If you look below line 28 it would appear that my grandfather Pietro Carosiello is listed. Can someone tell me why (or possibly why) there would be a line thru his name and information?

I want to thank everyone who helped me on this. It turns out 90% of the information has now been verified as of last Thursday when I met my Uncle for the very first time. (I'm 43)
I NEED a little help on two subjects still. Maybe an Admin can help... But while this thread was active I received a message and started to talk to someone who knew and wrote a small book on my grandfather sort of based on his life in Drummond, PA. I NEED TO FIND THAT PERSON. IT's been so long since i have been on this site I have no messages. Is it possible that they were archieved? Also hoping that person reads this thread again.
Obtaining my grandfathers birth record from Italy...... I have sent for it twice with no results... Options.

Why don't you try the Family History Library films of Registri dello stato civile di Faeto (Foggia), 1809-1929 you get the birth act here in the US. Cvil registration of births, marriages, deaths, marriage banns, supplemental documents, marriage documents from Faeto, Foggia, Italy. Text in Italian. Some years may be missing or out of order.
Pardon my stupidity after staring at films consisting of 1897 it appears to only be a daily ledger of sorts and beyond difficult to deterine most spellings. I did find a page that stated
"Nati, matrimoni, pubblicazioni, morti 1897 Family History Library INTL film 1802915 item 2" https://familysearch.org/search/catalog ... %20Library
Now this looks like it would include all available records for 1897
But it is for a microfilm loan. How am I to view it? I called my local libraries and non have a microfilm machine. A local school does but I can not bring in my own films, can only use it to view thier files ???????????
Nati,(BIRTHS) matrimoni,(MARRIAGES) pubblicazioni, morti (DEATHS) for the year 1897 in the town of Faeto. The film is a rental viewed and can be copied at your local Family History Library the film number is 1802915
You go to you local Family History Library in your area which is usually a church and they have the equipment for viewing and coping on use a camera to copy yourself
Why is it difficult for most persons to read a Latin document? You may think that it is because they never studied Latin in school. The real answer is that some of the words appear unfamiliar to you. On the positive side, you probably already know enough Latin words to pick out a few of them in a d...
