Any help anyone may have is definately ...

Re: Ship records

Did he live and die in Argentina? I would try to get records in Argentina that might show where he was born before I attempt to get records from Italy. After all he was in Argentina much longer. Or if he was in the USA for a long time, I would try to get his application for Social Security Benefits....

Re: Places in Italy-need help

I had posted a query to your site a while back-surname was Busardo. I have recently come across documents online and I have been trying to decipher the handwriting. Is there place in Italy called Palarbo (or was that a typo for Palermo?)? I also have an address which looks like 32 Como Tuhory (with...

Re: Angelicola surname in Celenza, Foggia

"One way to check the spelling I use is to go to google search and type in the surname using both spellings. Angelicola gives 533 returns Angelicolo only gives 13 returns To me this means the correct spelling is most likely Angelicola. This method does not always work but it yields some interes...

Re: Angelicola surname in Celenza, Foggia

Interesting how the spelling changes from Angelicol a to Angelicol o . I wonder, now, if the spelling is really Angelicolo or if it was just a typo. It is hard to tell but he appears to have signed the form like it as well. Maybe he didn't want to correct the person at the desk? Who knows. It would...

Re: Italian Princess Info

The way I look at family stories that cannot be proved is that they are "legendary." And that's really neat and interesting because legends are very fascinating and mysterious. So even if you are never able to find her and prove it happened, make sure you record the story anyway and just s...
