Re: Help on reading name on manifest

I think it is Tomaso. Today Tommaso is more frequent but both variations are possible.

My Brignolis were Maria Brignoli, born in Peia in 1759, died in Gandino Oct 23rd 1803, daughter of Orazio and wife of Andrea Torri. Peia and Gandin...

Re: Birth certificat in turin from Paris ?

Italian towns were obliged to keep the birth records only from 1866. Before that date every town acted differently and before 1861 every state had its own law. I'm afraid that in Turin you have to search for Church records and that means that you should write to the Archdiocese, and in the worst cas...

Re: Maria Rilli, Rome - Pico, Frosinone

Perhaps the best idea would be if all letters were signed by your grandmother herself. In that case privacy law should not hold. As for knowing the real parents I have really no idea; in principle they could still be alive and in that case the privacy laws would apply to them (:? ?)
good luck

don't know why they have an ip address instead of a normal site name, probably they have just started working on it. Anyway if you know people there that's much better than trying sending mail or email!

Re: Russo brothers emigrate to Colombia

The most common surname in Italy is Rossi ( Reds ), the southern Italiy variation is Russo which has the same meaning of Red in the southern italian dialects, although in Italian it means Russian. Why there are so many reds in Italy I don't really know ;) I think I read five or six different explana...

Re: Russo brothers emigrate to Colombia

unfortunately Michele and Vincenzo Russo are both such common names even today that unless you have some more info there's no hope of finding anything. Just to show you the numbers today in the province of Napoli alone there are 94 Michele Russo and more than 200 Vincenzo Russo.

Re: Nonini FamilY - Lombardy Region

Nonini and Molatore are rare surnames and only present in northern Lombardy (mostly province of Sondrio). So it should be easy to find info there starting of course in Cercino. The address of the town-hall (municipio) is Via Ligari, 2 23016 Cercino (SO) In the Ellis Island site there's a Giovanni No...

Rodeni is birth Vjencani is wedding Umrli is probably death I checked with Croatian here , but that's probably slovenian or a variation. Death in Croatian is smrt (:) yes! no vowels at all ;-)) which doesn't fit with umrli but what else could it be? Marco ==> ok I found out that decease is umrijeti ...

Re: Gherardi/Pellizzari Family

In the ship manifest of Gherardi (see Wldspirit post above) the indication is for Coccanile which is a hamlet of Copparo in the province of Ferrara. I think Coranite is actually Coccanile. Some info on Coccanile are here in Italian. The official website of Copparo is here.
Good luck
