Cabrini Family from Northern Italy

Post by ptimber »

I do not believe that your grandfather entere the USA with american first names. His name would have been Giacomo Roberto Cabrini. Since it is obvious you do not know where he was born in Italy you have to find that place first. If he died after 1963 you can go to social security to find out and that will cost you $27.00 but if you research the www.ellisisland.org records of immigrant arrivals in the USA you may locate your grandfather by name and date of arrival if there is some family oral history you can rely on. Without a town of origin or at least the province he came from you are up a creek so to speak. Ask the family what they know and begin the search for your family. if it gets tough realize that you may find relatives you never knew you had in Italy. Peter
