Hi Bob and welcome to the forum.

What type of information do you need help with? Are you looking for records from the USA, Italy or both?

Can you give us more details........Persons name, approximate date of birth, town where he/she came from, year arriving in the USA, spouses full name and date of birth, childrens names and dates of birth etc.

The more detail you can give the easier it will be for members of the forum to help you out.

We'll wait to hear back from you.

Regards,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth, As you can see I am new to this site and unfamiliar with communicating with other members... I am searching for history of my father and family from Pisticci,Basilicata, provincia Matera.... He was born in 1896... Can you help ??

[misbris]

Bob,
You didn't give us your father's name, so this is just a wild stab in the dark. If it is not the correct record, give us dad's first name and/or date of immigration.

Hello !
I’ll bet we can help, but like Elizabeth says, we need just a little more information.

What was your father’s name?
Did he come to the US?
Do you need help with your family’s records in the US?
Do you need direction on how to research your family in Italy?

Here’s just a guess

Is this your father?

Nicholas Di Tursi
Born 27 Aug 1896
Lived in Hudson County, NJ?
Father’s name was Michele?
Had a brother named Vincenzo?

Arrived in the US on 15 April 1921 on the SS Providence from Naples to NY

Hi Mary Jo!

WOW!
We picked the same person.
I was so busy typing I didn't see your note, my apologies!
I can't wait to see if we're right.

No problem bob. As you can see, everyone here is very helpful, don't worry if you make a mistake and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Thank you ladies ( I believe ) You both are truly talented and gifted !!!
My father Nicola ( Nicholas ) died in December 1942 eight months after I was born. My oldest brother had limited info other than a few photos and discharge papers from the Italian army.... I knew my grandfather's name was Michele and grandmother's name was Lileta Maria Carmella, I believe also born in Pisticci... I would like to find further info on my fathers side of the family in Pisticci... At age 66, I believe that I should pass on as much heritage info to my son and daughter as possible... Have to leave you now, my wife and I are on our way to the hospital as our daughter is about to give birth to her first baby... Thank you again and God bless you.

P.S... Please keep in touch as I would truly like to get involved in his informative site and share with others any skills that I may have.
